The P-Zeros are great tires. If you want more grip get the P-Zero Corsa. One way to check traction on a tire is to look at it's wear rating. Each manufacture puts a wear rating on a tire. The lower the wear rating - the softer the compound. Being softer will ware out faster than a hiway tire.
i.e.: The P-Zeros on my Boss have a 220 ware rating. This means I will get no more than 15-20K miles on them. A hiway tire might have a wear rating of 400 or even more. Tires like that could get 40K miles or so. The P-Zero Corsa which came stock on the Boss Laguna Seca has a lower number than the plane P-Zero. But the traction is better. Sticky tires wear out quickly. That way you want to save them for track work.
Nitto: owned by Toyo: Japan: adds to our trade deficit.
Hankook: Korea: likely made in China: adds to our trade deficit.
Pirelli: Italy: we have a trade surplus with Italy.
Goodyear: USA: your money stays here.
2012 Boss 302: just say no to imports. China is not spoken around here.
My 2 cents.

Unfortunately, the tread wear rating has no standard so the number usually ends up meaning the square root of eff all. At best, it is only good for rating a tires characteristics amongst tires from the same manufacturer. The Pilot Sport 2 all seasons have a tread wear rating of 500 but will hook up better than 95% of the tires out regardless of rating.
China may not be "spoken here" but China shifts yours gears. Your transmission is built in Nanchang, China. Unfortunately our Mustangs don't even make it into the top ten as far as % of domestic content. But at least the revenue stays here instead of being sent overseas as in the case with all these imports built in the US.
