New tire help??

[SX4DUDE2013]

Hey yall. Im in the market for new tires. I have a sx4 (a small hatchback). I want something REALLY grippy. This is the crappy OE tire...

And this is the new tire im looking at. IM gonna go wider (stock is 205) and im gonna jump up to 225. I drive my car REALLY REALLY hard. I believe that a car should be "fun" to drive. This is the current tire im looking at and seriously considering. Here is a link. Any advise.....??

Tirerack ratings have been good for me and my dad so far... It is rated well for Ultra High Perforamnce Summer. Giving up some handling in weather of course.

You'll always have to compromise when going to a summer tire, unless all you ever drive on are dry roads. That's a decision you have to make for yourself. No one else can make that for you.
