I'm not ready for tires yet, but I've noticed something odd.

When my OEM Yoko's wore out, I bought D60 A2's, 'cause that was a good
all-round value tire for the time.

When I bought my Panasport wheels before my D60 A2's wore out, I
bought D40 M2's, 'cause that was a good all-round value for the time,
and unlike D60's, I could get 195-50 15's.

So now I'm looking at Tire Rack ads, and I'm seeing no D40 M2's.  Did
they quit making them?  D60's are still listed.

If I were buying new 195-50 15's now for general road use in Florida
(no snow, only occasional rain, maybe an autocross once in a while,
but I have D60's for autocross wheels and tires if I wanta change out
- I autocross for fun, not for score), then what should I get...
Michelin Pilots?  Which ones?

TIA.
