Sticking with the OEM tires on your next tire change?
The Rosso tires do a good job with dry weather road holding but they're slick in the wet. Also, they are very loud and have gotten louder as they've worn down and their tire life is minimal. Needless to say, I'll be switching and will go for the Pilot Sport PS2s ....

I haven't read a single negative review of the PS2s, which is why I'm keen. Any problem with using the wider sizes?

the 235F should have read 225(since edited)
The 255R was the only 35 profile availible in a ZR 18" last October. Also it is the recommended size for the rear OEM rim according to MB
No issues what so ever. Not sure if it makes sense, but Understeer seems to decreased as well>
