Gonna need tires, what are you guys running? I need to throw the stockers away that are in the front, they are dry rotting, and just burned through the set of rears I put on, they were s-04 pole positions, I will likely get them again, I was happy with them with the exception of tread life, but I cant have my cake and eat it too, and slightly cheaper than the PSS. If anyone says V12's I will smite thee.

PSS' are the best tire to get for the street.

Conti DW's are good for the driver on a budget.

I agree with Chris. The Michelin pss's are amazing if you got the 1500 to drop on them. I have them and will most likely but them again unless they release a newer better version.

$1500 may work for Stock sizes, if you plan to go wider, easily $2k.

Then their prices have gone Way down when I ordered them, or the shop that ordered them really fucked me because when I ordered my 255/25 and 295/30 sets, it was $1850 installed.

I guess TPMS replacements were $500?

Ouch...When you guys need tires mounted LMK, we have an auto34 hunter, if shops are charging outrageous fees, I can get help you out if you make the long haul to gburg. I am not running my sensors, did not want to tighten the nuts down in my PC'ed wheels..if anyone needs sensors I have 4 good ones. Shop that sell tpms kits or rebuilds are robbing you of your money...all BS.

Joepro · 04-29-2013, 11:18 PM

not sure I really need wider tires, but they are only 24 bucks more than stock

If you give the car more power than stock, you'll want wider tires. Even with the 295's they don't hook till 3rd.

Once I get the new z1 headers ard tune, hoping to be around 330whp...Honestly, now I can chrip second and third with slamming gears and poor shifting, but other than off the line with a poor launch these have not "broken loose", but hey for 24 bucks, wider it will be. I get paid on the 7th thank god, even tho it was a crappy month there goes most of that check, thank you right foot.

I have TPMS on mine cause I hate the damn light being on. But one of them must have not been properly replaced, or dinged when they swapped the tire so I need to get 1 more to fix it. That'll happen when those tires need to get replaced after the summer, and I switch from 255s to 265s in the front.

Think I paid $1600 for the PSS donuts I got. Mounted and balanced. With the VDC off. I can light them up no problem in 2nd. Just smash the loud pedal. :d. Grap 3rd, and spin them some more.
