Tires

Shep43

Hey Bobby,

Check out below website, the Indy 500 only $440.00 / pair rears.

www.quattrotires.com

I purchased Pilot Super Sports and at 17k my rears are at the wear bars and I'm presently pursuing a warranty claim with Michelin, having the tires assessed as soon as its back on the road.

Depending on the outcome of my warranty claim with Michelin I'm possibly needing new tires also, please let me know of any advice you get here as I'm also considering the Indy 500.

Thanks, Dave

I may start my own thread.

High performance tires trade wear for performance, so 15-20k on a set of Michelin PSS tires is about the correct replacement time. Also, one must factor the type of driving one does. Drive hard and tires such as the PSS tend to melt like ice cream on a hot summer day.

The one thing to remember when looking for new tires is that the tires are the only thing on your vehicle that touch the road. It’s better to spend a bit more on a good set of tires than to cheap out and regret it later.

I recently purchased a full set of ps4s, 255/40/19 front and 285/35/19 rear. Havent put them on yet but that ballpark price for all 4 were about 1800

Purchased from 4tires.ca and they came in like 4 business days

Hey Nixin,

Thanks for your input but....

OEM Potenza RE050A has 140AA and they lasted 24k (kms) at the wear bars. Pilot Super Sport has 300AA and they lasted 17k (kms) at the wear bars.

Referencing the OEMs and my driving habits I should have gotten at least 35k (kms) on the PSS and obviously did not.

Also, IMO the Potenza RE050A performed way better than the Pilot Super Sport....I regret buying the PSS.

how you got 24k miles on the awful oem 140 wear tires is a miracle.

mine last 8k miles and rears were toast.

i also would get 10-13k miles on RE-11 rears at 200 wear rating.

also, i had super sports once and rears went at 9k miles but sidewalls were soft so i switched to RE-11

I just had my stock tires sswitched out today for a new set of Firestone Firehawk Indy's (stock sizes). Got them from Tire Rack. The rears cost me $441.41 and the fronts cost $397.65. Delivery was very fast. Remember to factor in the cost of mounting. Discount Tires charged me $100 to mount.
I bought these tires based on all the positive reviews I read. Liking them so far!
