Huh?

If that's the case, it's not the tires, it's the driver.

Depends what you want to do. The ZII's are popular in the ST AutoX classes right now, and they perform well. However, many are going to the BFG Rival, including me when the +/-1" wheel diameter goes into effect next year for the Stock classes. I'll be stepping down to 18's just so I can run Rivals.

I'm goin rivals on my next set whenever they release them. 315/30/18 on the rears and still undecided between 275 or 295 on the front.

Nah, the PSS don't handle nearly as well on the track.



OP,

Zii is the autoX choice, re11 is the track option.

Gimme a set and I will.


Are those other tires good on the street? Or just track tires?

I have a set of my old RE11 you can have for free. It's sitting in my shed in CT.

It's not a bad tire at all. I was slightly faster with the Michelin than the Bridgestone, except I was driving a 997 GT3 with the Pilot SS.....

I forgot to mention that you have to be aware of the SS chunking at the track
