Tyre suggestions for XKR (150)

I need a full set of tyres for my 2009 XKR with 20" Vortex wheels.
Would welcome some suggestions, my garage recommended not to use Pirelli.

I put 20" Sumitomos on mine... reasonably priced and a good tire.

If car is modded and traction is an issue, top of the line sticky tires are needed re71r , PS4 , r888 . Otherwise you can stick with Hancock v12 for example and still get overall good performance and tire value for the money.
