And I think it is good to have some strong opinions, or else you just get a forum that is to loving about whatever you do to your car without true opinions.
But we all know Semtex has the number one journal.

Just replaced my stock rears with new pair of RE-11s(285-35-19) on stock wheel today. It was raining here in Miami so had to be carefull not to do anything I'd be sorry for later, but did try to break traction few times and I'm happy to say they have quite a bit more bite in the wet over stock sport tire

if you have the $, go for the mich pilot sport ps2's - close cousins to the PS Cups... best on all dimensions except price imo... read these reviews from folks with newer model vehicles... basically all 10s

I definitely agree. Not about the journal.

I think I disagree with the results of this poll. I think it should go:
PS2
RE11
NT05

So, those who went with RE11's - what sizes did you get? They don't seem to make the stock size.

I'm a ways off from needing new tires, but, just thinking ahead...

One FYI that really makes no difference, but its still interesting. The NT05 is the smelliest tire ever. My friend made a joke about it the other night and it all came to me because I did not realize it before. I've walked around the car looking for something burning on the exhaust several times and found nothing. I guess they put something in the compound that smells pretty bad...its like a really pungent rubber smell.

Never drove the stock for long but the RE11's have 14 auto-x events and 5000 miles. The fronts are about 90% gone because of wear on the outside shoulder, the rears are about 60% gone.
