I'm considering switching out to Michelin Pilots too, and my car is on 20s right now.

Not a bad line on this design; thank you Ian and Henrik.
Car is shown leaving first ever Cars and Coffee at the Automotive Hall of Fame in Dearborn (August 30, 2015). What a success, about 300 cars attended, but just one Aston, mine!
The "Hall" is surrounded by Ford Motor Company's Research and Engineering Center and The Henry Ford, the museum and antique village housing Henry Ford's collection of Americana.
In the picture, across the street, is a wing of Ford"s Dearborn Design Center.

Looks like turn 9 (the turn right before the short straight leading under the bridge)? Common place for offs. Cars dip front left corner on the exit of T9 and the driver tries to correct by turning the heel clockwise, car hooks & spons and goes tail before front cross track into the right ride tire wall. Happened to many students before there, also seen it happened during races and qualifying when I was racing there. Several cars I've seen become totaled there, and a friend's R8 was flipped several times there and obliterated. You're lucky to get away from that "slingshot" unscathed.
