I had an 03 z with RE 11's on it and I flipping loved them! They completely changed the ride quality of my z. If anything they were quieter than my RE050A Pole Position tires. I was more comfterble taking off ramps and turns at higher speeds because of the stiffer side wall. Had them for about 4k miles before I sold the car and got a 370 and did not notice any tread wear on the tires.
I liked them more than the Invos that my dad has on his C6 which are also an awesome tire! Quiet and comfterable but stick when you need them to. |

Pilots wear great.........and give me the handling characteristics that I think true sports cars are built for..... I find it interesting that so many here are referring to a tire that is not even listed in the Poll here....The pilot If you can by a $40,000.00 car, should you worry about spending $1,200.00 for tires that can and will last 50,000 miles or more with proper care ? |

You do know that there is another category of tire called extreme performance summer tires right? Including Hankook RS-3's, Yoko AD08's, Notto NT05's, Bridgestone RE11's, Dunlop Z1 Star Specs, Kumho XS's, ect. As has been said before, there are many better tires than PS2's, especially when it comes to performance. |

you are on crack. most high end sports cars come with r comps now, pilot cups are not the same as pilo sports. have you try other real high performance tires?

I did many track days on Falken RT615's, Bridgestone RE01R's, Z1 Star Specs, and Nitto NT05's and all of them lasted longer than 10k miles...and that was with lots of track miles. Unless you have a horrible alignment or you drift every corner you are not going through extreme performance summer tires every 10k miles.
