Best Summer Tire
Okay, so the p-zeros were great, then i got dunlops for the winter which also worked very nice through 2-3 inches of snow.
Summer is here and i rode off whatever i had left of the stock pirellis.
Question is, what is the best tire for our cars... I also wanted to go wider with 275(if it fits) let me know what you guys used.
I am looking for the best grip to the ground.
thanks

lol was that necessary?
PS2 is always up there, but there are some cheaper alternatives.. I was considering some ExtremeContact DW's, but haven't pulled the trigger get. I have maybe a month's worth of tread left.

Goni, I'm looking for PSS specifically. Is that what you are running.
The reason I am asking is because 275 vary slightly between different brands. I want to make sure that PSS will fit. Thanks!

Seriously this time:
Contisport oe tires on my 2011 c63 feel much better in corners than the cheaper hankook ventus 12. I say this because I got to do a back to back comparison. I don't remember pzero's traction much because they were gone by 4000 miles on my ex c63. I generally think cheaper summer tires like hankook are great for daily driving and to reduce overhead cost! But to get better traction the choices are expensive.

The Conti DW's are extremely decent for the price you pay for them.. however the fronts are currently not XL, so that might be an issue.
