hell yeah buy rims with tires u want i went with the g force from bfgoodrich..they are the ****..i love them they are about a grand for all 4 but heh if u can't afford the tires don't get the car right?!

 

I just got some new Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires for the front put on this week. I had them put on at the dealer with an alignment. I've noticed that the car tends to pull to the right like yours. I thought about going back to have them correct it, but now that I've read your post, it sounds like it would be a waste of time. Maybe the F will just drift to the right like this on non-OEM tires? Or could it be that I still have the OEM Bridgestone Potenzas on the rear and the car pulls because I'm running mixed brands now?

 

Michelin PS3 and SuperSports will have more sizes later this year.

 

Hankook V12 are awesome too.

 

Absolutely. For the IS-F, I would recommend the PS-SS over the PS3 as the later is designed for sport compacts and the IS-F weight and power would potentially push them too hard

 

I don't know how else to say this, but your are wrong From what I see with the limited amount of sizes currently available, both are max performance summer tires and available in an XL (extra load) rating in the 255/35/19 size (the stock rear size) both the PS-SS and PS3 are rated 96Y as is the PS2 which comes stock on the F.

Does anyone have experience with the Dunlop direzza? Are they good tires compared to the hankooks, continental and kumho's?

 

I used the dunlop Direzza's (101 I think) on my '03 SC430.
Very nice tire. Made the SC alot sticker in the turns.
I was very happy with them.
Don't expect too long a road life from them

 

Installed PS2's and the difference is noticeable from the Hankook V12's.

- Even brand new, PS2's do not "squirm" like the Hankook's did when new.
- Directionability is much more precise compared to the Hankooks.
- Lane changes are more "settled." On the Hankook's, would have to constantly correct upon spirited lane changes.
- The PS2's not only eliminate the "squirm," but they are smoother as well over all types of pavements.
- Above all, pulling to the right has been eliminated.

Lesson learned, I will be purchasing PS2's in the future.

 

You get what you pay for. Michelin PS2's are the best tires out. Hoping the new Pilot Sport SS will be just as good if not better.

 

Agree, I run the V12's and love them. Not near the grip of a PS2... definitely nothing compares for the dollar of a Michelin.

But bang for the buck, I'm a Kumho SPT or Hankook V12 fan.
