. . . as long as the driver has some sense of how much power can be put through them. By his own admission, OP isn't quite there yet and either needs a bit more tire grip or a bit more time to settle into driving a car that's a lot more powerful than anything else he's driven. Or both.

Depending on where in CA, he may not need the 'S' part of any Continental tire (and might be better off without it). In Conti, that'd be a "DW" or one of the ContiSports. For you and me, living where subfreezing temperatures and at least occasional snow is a given, the choice of year-round tires for the daily-driver is different.
