There is no such thing as something good at a reasonable price when it comes to tires. You get what you pay for! I recommend going with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports or Toyo r888's. For me personally I am going with the PSS. I like the tread design of the r888 better but the performance of the PSS all day long. At the end of the day performance is the driving factor.

Edit: In the event that you would Drag race (which I know that is not your thing), go with a set of MT ET Street Radials.

Thanks, Tony

What is it with these PSS get so much talk? How is a tire with a treadwear rating of 300 so good?

I just had a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports installed on my car last month. The grip on those tires is simply amazing. If I mash the accelerator from a standstill, they just hook up and go. No tire slippage, no flashing traction control light. The car now has a tighter turn radius, and I can take turns at higher speeds, all without tire slippage. They also have a much smoother ride than the stock Bridgestone Potenzas that they replaced. Sure, they cost a pretty penny, but they are loads of fun. Highly recommended.

Guess I'm going to have to try them. I'm just so in love with AD08's. But the PSS are priced just as good as any other tire.

Chris,

The first time I got to really push them to the limit was behind the wheel of Sharif's GT-R through Tail of the Dragon. Yes the car was jaw dropping amazing across the board, but the way the tires took the road put it over the top for me. We also have them on Blake's TT 370Z and for the amount of torque and power we are throwing to the ground, they hold it very well. Honestly, having them is like putting upgraded suspension on the car all over again.

I am currently switching my garbage stock run flats out on the GT-R to 335 in the rear and 285 in the front. Super excited to get the car on the track with these tires.

Thanks, Tony

Sharif has always preached about them for over a year now. Guess I'll be trying them out.

Everyone I have talked to says they work "almost as good" as the Pilot Cup's but at a way lower price and much better tread wear rating.

Tread wear can ONLY be compared inside a tire manufacturer.

PSS's are great STREET tires because there is not warm up, they grip like all hell, they are quiet, they are light, and have/give great ride quality.

On the track... Not so much. They can't take heat like RE-11s/RS3s/NT01s, and their sidewalks aren't as stiff as you'd like on a track really.
