Default Tire Opinion

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 or Continental ContiSport Contact 3
245/30/20 & 295/25/20 (25.8" rolling diameters)

I want to keep my rolling diameters close to stock and equal (front and rear). My current tires were okay but has rubbing issues. Any thoughts, feedback is greatly appreciated?

PS2s are stock on the IS-F and Porsches as well as many other high performance cars. Expensive but many people will only buy that tire as they are firm believers in it.

I don't know much about the Conti's/

If PS2's are avaialble in what ever size is needed for any vehicle I own, that is what will go on the vehicle. They cost a little more but IMHO are well worth it.

I've been pleasantly surprised with my Contis thus far.

I think the PS2's are excellent, sure it's more expensive than most other brands but they are worth it to me.

The Michelins are superior and not that much more expensive in these sizes.

Being that I work for Bridgestone, I'm a little biased, but if sizes weren't available in RE050's, then my next choice would definitely be Michelin PS2's... one of my last choices would be the Conti's... they just aren't that good in comparison...
