Summer Tire Selection
 

Looking ahead to the summer and getting these winter tires off of my car. I am planing on changing from the stock option to something more suiting of this car. I have listed below a link to the tires i am looking at purchasing and if you would please select an option on the poll and leave a comment on why you chose them or if you have any personal experience with the tires in question.



Bridgestone Potenza RE-11


Michelin Pilot Sport PS2


Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position


Thank you for your time.

I voted other. I have Advan Neova AD08's up front and Nitto NT05's out back. I like them both very much.

I have Advan Neova AD08 in the back and stock Bridgestones in the front.

your ride doesnt suffer with these two treads beings completely different ?

RE-11 all the way. If not, the Neovas

Diameter on the 295/30 is almost exactly the same as the stock 275/35 and the car drives fine. I will eventually go with advans in the front as well but right now my stock front tires have very little wear. The big advantage is that the Advan treads are 1" wider than the stock tires and I need all the grip I can get with my TT set up.

He is not talking about diameter of the tire, he is referring to running to different tread patterns on the car (front to rear) which can cause issues in turns, might not feel it much on the street.

I live on a windy mountain road and the tires are fine. I dont track the car so I cant say how that would play out, but when I push the car my tires are as good or better than the stock tires.

Yokohama S-Drive

you should get yokohama's..

and pm me about it! i need to sell a set of yokohamas..

BMW M3 owners love the ps2's... no idea why but I seem to notice every M3 owner who is a car enthusiast has ps2's

I had a set on my s2000 and they were an excellent tire.. they were decently priced for the s2k thats why I got them but I would never pay the money for the 19s..

my vote goes to NT05's or Neova's

How about Nitto Invo for "other"?

thanks for all the responses, please if you do pick other list what your have or are thinking.

Yoko s-drives are not even on my radar there not in the class of tire im looking at getting.

Nitto's have interested me for a while but its tough to get a proper read or feeling for them vs. a tire like the re-11

Keep em coming guys...

I would go with the RE-11.

Gunna try another set of the KDW2's... The last set was good. They get a little bitchy near the maximum edge of grip, but other than that they were great...
