I don't want to spend a fortune on tires and wanted some feed back on two choices. I'm leaning towards either Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 or the Michelin-Pilot super sports. What are your thoughts? Or tell me these are both no good a recommend something to me please

 

Both are good and have been used many times by various members of this forum. I have the SuperSports and like them a lot. Good tire.

 

Do a search and you'll find lots in information here. Welcome to the forum:thumb up:

I did mp super sports in 245front and 255 rear...love it! Especially with the new diff....

 

+1 for Michelin Pilot SuperSports...Great tire.

 

What are the specs of this setup, and does it handle better than the OEM setup.

245/40/19
255/35/19?

 

Yes it does. Less understeer.

245/35/19 front. 255/35/19 rear.

Your gas mileage might suffer a tad as the 245 creates more rolling resistance....I havent noticed.it though...

 

+1 for Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Tires grip fantastically you'll love 'em.
I'm currently running 245/35/19 front & 255/35/19 rear. Moving up to 275/35/19 when I need new rears. Highly recommended if you've got I/H/E mods. More power requires more traction

 

I have never driven on RE-11s so I can't say definitively...but I do know I absolutely love my Michelin PSS tires. They are one of the lightest tires on the market and offer very good tread life for their performance level. They do very well booth in dry and wet. I think the RE-11s might be a tad better in the dry, but I'm pretty sure the PSS tires are vastly superior in the wet.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys

 

lol am I the only one with the Potenzas here?

 

Does anybody here have experience between Bridgestone Potenza RE050A ( stock 08-09 ) and Michelin Pilot Super Sports? B/c I"ve never had Michelin PSS tires before.
Thanks !

 

My ISF originally came with the RE050As. My PSS tires aren't stock sizes so it isn't an apples to apples comparison, but from what I remember of the Bridgestones there is no comparison to the Michelin PSS tires. The Michelins blow the stock Bridgestones away in every category (wet & dry handling, weight, tread life, braking, turn-in feel, etc, etc).

 

RE050A's handle OK but quality is crap. Never get run flat tires. I'm glad I was forced to replace them.

 

I'm running a 255/35 and 295/30 RE050A combo in 19" wheels, one thing i don't like RE050A is heavy and stiff sidewall, 295/30 is huge in width. I'm gonna change to Michelin PSS soon.
Thanks VtotheJ and Gymkata !
