Hey guys, I am running Potenza RE760's now, and its time to change it, and I want to put Michelin Pilot Super Sport , and I heard they are bad *** tires, but its on back order, I called Michelin and they said middle of next month, I hope I can last that long, my question is, what brand are u guys using and ur experience with it,and this is on 275/30/ 20 ,thanks

 

I'm having the same problem. Want to get the Super Sport in 275/30 and 245/35/20. The only other tire on Tirerack that has good rating is the Continental DWS, but that's an all season tire and down here in So Cal I'm not sure if I need that. I've had all sorts of brands from Kumho to Michelin and hands down the Michelin wins. The cheaper tires have good grip for the first 3-5k miles but that's it. The Michelins Sport are good until the last 1/32". So I'm going to stick with them for now.

Lucky for me I still have my old set of wheel. I ran the rear 20s to the cords! Anyways I can wait a mont or two let me know as soon as they are back in stock.

 

About to get some tires for my new wheels. Any one have experience with hancooks ?

Thanks

 

On previous cars I've had the hankook ventus v12's and they were good. For my 20's coming this week I have the newer hankook ventus v12 evo2 - I can report back on how they are soon.

Also in numerous tests for performance the v12's have done very well.

 

since I deal with lots of tire ppl, I had them call all the warehouses and everbody said NO for the rear,Hankook not bad, but overall I wonder how long they last and if after 5k miles do they loose the grip.

Nice I might go with the new hankooks . Someone said the continentals are more round and less chance to rub ?

 

I had Hankooks v12 evo (not the newest evo2). They were fine but around 5k miles the grip decreased by at least 50%. So I don't recommend them.

I've also had Continental extreme contact DW on my BMW. But one of the tires almost disintegrated one time on the freeway. I managed to limp home (4miles). Not sure if I had a flat or a failure I had at least 30% tread left.

After that I got Michelin Super Sport and I loved those tires. My favorite all time. Amazing grip, quiet, smooth ride, pretty decent tread wear, and most importantly the grip never decreased even when it was 80-90% worn. So I'm hoping they will start making 275/30/20 soon.

 

I have said this in a few comments before...give Vredestein Vortis a try. ~$300/set cheaper than the Michelins. After 6K+ miles, 9/32 rear, 7/32 front, great grip, smooth ride on RSR SDS. I would buy the PSS for my next set just to compare, but as we know, 275/30/20 is not an option.
