on my 94 850 wagon N/A I had a set of Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S H-Rated tyres (loved 'em) but they were 195/60r15.

Best tyres I've ever had, problem was they only lasted 44k miles (I think I kept them under-inflated though) and cost mucho dinero.

As I recall, these were more of a cushy cruising tyre, not so much sporty.

The Goodyear GT's I have on now are probably a bit more responsive. These are a V-rated tyre and cost a bit less than the Michelins.
My only issue with these tires is that they 'buzz' at about 40 mph and up. I have ~9k miles on these and 7 months.

Maybe yours feel less responsive because you're a turbo driver. Us normally aspirated people are much more sedated and reasonable, I'm sure. (Just kidding)
