What do you guys think of these tires?

AntiVenom

If I remember correctly in another thread you mentioned that it was hard to get certain tires in Puerto Rico.

Sport Maxx tires are not great tires as far as I know. The Dunlop Direzza is more or less on the same playing field as the RE-11s. It might be worth checking out Tireracks surveys to see what wheels might come close.

TireRack Extreme Performance Summer Tire Comparison

TireRack Max Performance Summer Tire Comparison

You will note that the Sport Maxx tires are under the max performance summer tire category, and that they are rather low on the list.

Hope this helps!

Thanks man it helps a lot. I bought 20" wheels about 2 years ago and now that i need new tires it been a problem to find good brand tires like a lot of people are using here specially on 255 front/285 rear specs. My only hope is Tire Rack like you mention but the only specs i can get are Pirelli P Zero, Hankook V12 evo2 as max performance tires and Michelin but they are back order

I was checking it out. It looks like TireRack ships to PR. The problem is it adds about $200+ to the tire order. Which obviously hurts the wallet.

Also, since you are running 20s your options are pretty limited regardless. (I've been considering 20s for my Z, that's why I know). For me it pretty much boils down to the Michelin PSS being the only really good performance tire for 20s. Unfoirtunately, like you said, they are on backorder, some sizes don't even have an estimate on when they will get more.

If you are in need of tires *now* you might consider the Hankook V12, if you aren't planning on tracking them. I had a set on my Sport Rays and for street fun, they will fit the bill. I thought they had pretty good traction. I never tracked them, but I guess the consensus is they get slippery REALLY fast.

Thanks for the input man! Actually you read my mind. I am considering the V12 for now until hopefully the Michelin PSS becomes available again.

You really need to eventually get the PSSs. There is nothing else like them. I went 245/285 a few weeks ago and the experience was mind boggling. I am in Northern Delaware so it hasn't quite warmed up enough to test the dry traction, but even with 50 degree weather they are awesome . I was making moves in the rain and it was like I was driving on dry road.

Without question those are the tires i want. I went back to the stock 18" to give time and see if the tires become available soon.
