Hey guys I am nearing the end of my current tire wear. I know nothing about tires. I currently have the Bridgestone Potenzas on my car. I have the Michelin PS2's on the top of my list, I wanted to know if there are any other good brands out there with the quality of the PS2's. Im looking for a great handling/performance tire. Any ideas and/or suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks

 

Im going with the nt05 next!

 

The PS2s are great However, when it's time, my current plans are to go with:

Dunlop SP Sport Max TT - 245/35/19 and 275/30/19.

i've had hankook tires for a while this is actually my second set.
so far i had no problems at all...
If you've seen the tire ratings on the car and driver mag. they are pretty good.

 

PS2--Piece of mind is pricele$$.

 

If mechanical performance is your goal, you won't beat the PS2, and the Bridgestone is a close second. Both were designed specifically for this car. If keeping your rims from getting scratched by putting a rubber and cloth doughnut between you and the road is you biggest concern, buy whatever is cheap.

 

Ps2 are fine for the street, but the side walls are too weak for the track. I just ordered the Bridgestone RE11's Can't wait to try them out!!!

 

Im on my first set of Hankook's on my F and no problems. I grip from a 40 and can burn out without thinking... Damn a new set of ps2's is $1200+.

 

What makes you say this? Racing tires have far softer sidewalls than any street qualified tire. I'm not understanding why you would say the PS2s are weak.

 

I picked up Kuhmo Ecsta's and they work just fine.

 

A quick question, My car came with Bridgestone potenza's
Was wondering if its possible to go from
225 (front) and 255 (rear)

to a 235(front) and 265 (rear) set up with stock rims?

Potenzas are terrible in the wet. Ive spun once already and nearly took off my rear bumper. LOL.

P.s. I Know nothing about tires..

 

You should look into Nitto Invo's i know alot of Corvette's are using them

BTW, i still you owe that info that i totally forgot to get!

I'll find out tomorrow bro!

 

agreed with lobux... my ps2 are awesome. although i am running on toyo R1R.. i still think my ps2 are just as good..
