Buy from a company that lets you change them if you dont like what you first pick..that is my best advice..

Do you know what brands or retailers offer such a return privilege?

Conti Extreme and Yoko S-Drive have been good to me.

Guess I will have to try the Mich Pilot Sport though!

I will second the Hankook V12 for quiet and decent performance. The best part is price. They don't perform as well as the Yokohamas IMHO, but they are much cheaper, last longer, and are much quieter!

Conti DW.

Also going to say Continental DW's. I ran Hankook's before that, but I didn't find the ride quality to be all that great, and the grip wasn't very good either. The DW's are way better, and they seem like they are going to last a lot longer.

Yes I went to Tire Rack and a local place called Tire Pros..and they both said if you dont like what you buy you can exchange them for another pair..did not say how many times you could do this but if you make a mistake at least you get one more pick and maybe more..

:iagree: Quiet, fairly comfortable, and they have a pretty silly amount of grip.

Toyo T1S very similar to a PS2 at a portion of the price of PS2's or PSS's

Quieter then the bridgestone's and tons of grip, havnt noticed any flat spotting, my hankook V12's would flatspot in the garage in a heart beat...

In comparison the the hankooks the hankooks felt very soft on the sidewall you could push it through a corner but the proper sensation wasnt there for me as it is on the t1s the T1S really reminds me of my PS2's.

Mr. Mustang is Master if Understatement. You have to work very hard to make the PSS break traction and that's a afact.

I wouldn't buy a cheap tire such as Hankooks. Why? You get what you pay for and that seems to hold true from some of the comments posted in here. Anyway, you bought a nice performance sports car so why not give it some good quality rubber at replacement time? Michelin ftw.

In 2nd gear, WOT coming out of tighter corners at Spring Mountain the back end of the Z06's stayed planted. The PS2 line is the best their is for a performance oriented street tire imo.

Everything I've seen indicates the PSS is quicker than the PS2.

PSS is not in ZP format, so could not be run on the 'vette "technically".

If/when I get new tires for the Z, it will be the newer PSS like you mention, though.
