While it is indeed an excellent tire, no doubt about it, it is one or two categories below what you can have.

Look into tires with thread wear of 200. Something like the Yokohama Advan AO52, Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RS, Hankook Ventus RS-4R and even Toyo Proxes 666

Yes, they will wear faster, but they will offer far more grip and consistency at the limit. You also won't have to deal with the super soft Michelin sidewalls which tend to bubble a lot and have a higher potential to roll over (not the car, the tire thread).

EDIT: you won't be able to do as much burnouts with them
