PSS on back order, re-11 doesn't make 20s... Suggestions please
 
So I'm due for new tires and PSS is on back order nationwide, re-11 doesn't make my rim size. What else are out there with superb traction? Only tire I can think of is SO-4 Bridgestone and that's below the above two. Suggestions?

Currently running michelin A/S3 245/35F 285/30R. Traction great for 7000 miles, now at WOT it loses traction (11k miles currently)

Stock
Aggressive street driving
Don't track, occasional drag strip
20*8.5 front rim
20*10 rear

nitto invo. great street tire from what i understand. gets a little greasy at higher temps, but you won't be tracking so that is moot.

In my opinion the Bridgestones S-04 are above the Michelin you have right now. Also ran the Invos, great tire for when is raining and quiet good traction but not great. I was also dissapointed that the RE-11 don't come in 20" great tire

The so-4 could be...will test it out when I put them on

The a/s 3 actually were great til 7k miles (half thread). Great traction, handling and I actually ran 12.91 quarter mile with my stock Z. Hopefully the so-4 are sticky until wear bar

Thats a pretty damn good 1/4 mile time stock specially using 20" wheels.

Thanks man! Will test out the so-4 on the 1/4 soon

When the SO-4's get down to the wear bars, they loose some traction. Good tire otherwise.

I think they don't come in size 20 last time i check on tire rack but the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 do but man those are some seriously expensive tires but then again they are pretty much the best tires on the market for dry grip.

expensive and low treadwear. if you put like 1000 miles a year on tour car, have money to throw away, and/or will never drive in the rain it's a bad *** tire.

Totally agree! $2,000 in tires damn and as you mention they won't last long if you DD your car.

Just special ordered s-04 from Firestone auto-care. Very competitive pricing and even discounted 75$ off on fronts only.

I actually use MPSC for my street set.
