Crazy non-accident

My car was parked on the street. A bus hit a car parked behind me, breaking its mirror. Police arrived, and wrote a protocol about the broken side mirror. My car was not part of the accident, was only "dirty", so police ignored it. My car was dirty, because (not exactly sure what happened - here my assumption only) the window of the bus got shuttered and fall down on my car... Half of the car was covered by shattered glass. The spoiler, back door, rear light, rear bumper, the boot lid and wheel arch get few deeper and a lot of tiny scratches. Luckily police accepted my complaint and added my car to the report. Let's see what the insurance will say 🫣

Semi-slicks for RS

Hello there! After 10 years with my RS, it's time for the first semi-slicks, as the car is now only a fun weekend (80% Alpine roads, 20% track) and not my daily. I have two sets of alloys, the original (not-forged) Ford 19 inch J8 and lighter Tomasona TN 25, 19, J8.5. Following tyres are on my short list:

- Extreme VR2 S3 - rather an extreme semi-slicks, probably too wide for the Ford wheels, but should be fine on Tomasona. Great for track day and ok for some sonny weekend trip;

- Nankang NS-2R - probably one of the most famous budget semis. I guess, probably also driveable on wet roads (just in case);

- Bridgestone Potenza Race - close to a typical UHP tyre. Looks quite affordable!

- Federal 595RS - looks similar to Nankang, but no idea how it is.

Any recommendations, experience withe some of the tires?
