I have 18’s so it might not be the same... I used to run MPSS tires (just under $1k otd) and switched Firestone Indy 500’s (summer tires) for under $450 otd. While they are not an exact replacement for MPSS... at 50% the cost they are a great compromise. I could only get almost 30k miles on the MPSS tires (wires starting to show on inner of the tire)... but with the Firehawk Indy 500’s I have already exceeded 30k miles and still have a good amount of tread left. I only street drive, no track... But i rotate and do alignment check with the tires on each oil change.

Only issue is when you park the car overnight, you get a flat spot on the tires until you start driving a mile and it goes away. I haven’t noticed the flat spot for a long while since i have put on some miles on the tires tho (but noticed it a lot when new).
