I just wanted to show you in my pics that standard spec tires on 8.5 inch front and 9.5 inch rear look fine, with no stretch look. I don't think I'll be too worried about the sidewall feel as I don't track the car aside from a straight line (unfortunately). I think I'm leaning toward the continental as I'd like to get an alignment as well so it will be nice to save on the tires. I want to pick up some OEM wheels and I figured now would be a good time since I'm getting tires anyway. G/L with your choices! Here is a pic of my ride on Michelin PSS at standard OEM specs (225F/255R) on 219M 18-inch wheels:Ĭan I just buy your setup? Lol it looks great. While some might scoff at the soft sidewall feeling, the DWs perform at nearly the same levels as PSS and Potenzas, while offering the budget friendly price you are seeking. Really good alternative at a whopping $80+ less per tire are the Conti DWs.

After a few miles, those feelings tend to fade with the newfound comfort and after getting used to the superior cornering capabilities of most all of the non-rft tires, without the tramlining and skipping associated with the former. When transitioning to non-rft, many think they lose cornering ability because the sidewalls seem much softer than rft's. Second choice would be Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position at $60 less per tire, but nearly equal in performance. I wanted to see how a premium tire felt after rocking budget Hankooks and I was very pleased! I have Cobb AP Stage 2+ with dps and FMIC, and I sometimes find it very hard to lose traction because the PSS hook up immediately! Please let me know if anyone has any opinions.Ĭatch Tire Rack when they have Michelin Pilot SS on sale. There will be no more mods made to the car.

My car is currently Cobb AP Stage 1 Aggressive and I want to make sure I can hook up well. My main goal is to spend a little less but still retain good performance. I'm looking to replace the stock run flats soon and I was wondering if there are any tires that are comparable to the Michelin Pilot Super Sports?
