I want stickier tires because the Alenzas slip sometimes when launching. I can hardly find any other tires except the Pirelli's bit I do not have good experience with them so I'd like to not go that way. I'm really interested in the Michelin Sport 4S but they do now make the right size.
My 21 inch stock size are: 245/40/21 and 275/35/21. What other tires can fit?
The X3M competition appears to be fitted with 255 fronts and 265 rears, in a Michelin PS4S.
Worth investigating further.
I saw that to! The front rims are wider on the X3M. The rear rims are wider to... I doubt I can go 255 on the front. I'll try 265 in the rear maybe.
My 245 winters are on a 7.5" rim, my 245 summers are on an 8" rim, I'd be happy to fit the 255 fronts to my 8" rims.

And I'd also be happy to downsize the rears from the 275 to the 265.

Fingers crossed the PS4S are openly available by the time I need them 😁
