Default 225/35R18 recommended tyres?

I am beating myself up trying to choose tyres for my P1 with 18" wheels.

I currently have Falken FK452s, which are OK.

The original fitments were P-Zero Asimmetrico, but only P-Zero Nero are available in this size now.

The premium tyres available are:
P-Zero Nero
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric
Continental Sport Contact 3
Bridgestone Potenza S0001
Michelin Pilot Sport 2 (discontinued?)

Other options:
Falken F453
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo

Which would you recommend for road and occasional track use, money no object?

Tyre size should be 225/35R18!

It's the standard size!

With such a low profile, I got me wondering whether one of the brands with a reputation for softer tyre walls wouldn't be so bad? Like Eagle F1s.

Ive had good experience with Michelin Pilot Sport 3, but have never tried the Sport 2.
