Default Tire and suspension upgrade

I have 33,000 miles on my 2010 2LT RS. I'm going to have to buy tires soon and was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for replacement rubber. Also was wondering what suspension components I could upgrade to make my V-6 RS handle more like an SS.

Any basic aftermarket performance springs and sway bars should put you to par with the SS handling. IMO, the V6 has more potential of cornering G's due to less weight.

And a better rim and tire combo should be considered because you can max out the suspension, but you will start to have tire travel and that could cost critical time on the track.

Pfadt makes some awesome V6 suspension components for the car. I don't know how bad subframe shifting occurs on the V6 but solid rear subframe bushings from them is the recommended first step in suspension modification. I also think they are the only company that has strut tower brace that will fit on the V6 as well.
