I am running the General all season and the sidewall is soft, much like the Continentals tend to be. The Japanese tire brands seem to use stiffer sidewalls. If you want something very firm the Dunlop Star Specs were always a favorite of mine.

I ran them on the tail of the dragon and they didn't seem that soft. I did inflate them to factory pressure of 42 front and 39 rear. They definitely didn't roll over during the turns.

Personally, for my wife's R60, we went with the BFG Comp2 A/S. They are my first choice.
For my F56, I have Conti ExtremeContact Sports which I absolutely LOVE. Broke them in on the Dragon this year. Great contact, extremely sticky and good in both wet and dry conditions.
I've also been eyeing the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s recently as they have a $100 off sale coming up this weekend. I might throw them on a spare set of rims that I have just to see how they do. There were a few drivers at MOTD this year that had high praise for them in terms of stickiness and performance.
