Should I change to PS2 now

11 months, 15000km milege, the stock P Zero Rosso rear tires look close to the 'wear lines'; is this the right time to move to PS/2 or should I wait till 20000km? And, anyone against changing from P Zero Rosso to PS/2?

Go for PS2's. They are the best tires ever!

I would change them in a few more miles.

15k km's is only 9300mi or so.

Great ! tks

BTW, can you (or anyone ) give the exact models number and sizes of the PS/2 ( 225/245 ) as I don't want to buy some strange stock from local shops here.

Anytime. Just remember though, if it rains heavily, I'd think about changing the tires sooner.

cntlaw, I went P Zero Rosso to PS/2 and I have been pleased with the PS/2.
I feel the ride is improved and with less road noise.
Rock On!!!!

I replaced PS2 on my C32 and increased the wide to 255.

It's the best street tires that i've tired. I tested my 0-60mph time and it improved by 0.35second.

You won't go wrong with the PS2.

HK is raining heavy now, be careful when you drive.

tks so much, all responses are very useful
Look like I don't have to wait until 20000km.
Just curious I thought going from 245 to 255 will decrease performance? Wonder anyone else with C55 changed from 245 to 255 ps/2 ?

245 to 255, more understeering.

AD07 is better than PS2 in any factors except for the road noise(both are quiet through).

Try the Fuzion ZRis and save big bucks while getting a superior product. They are made by Bridgestone. Check out the data at 1010tires.com. Tirerack won't post the test data for fear of losing sales of the higher priced ones.

The Rosso seems to be pretty noisy.....so PS/2 surely be a change. The price of fuel is killing here , sensible to stick with 245
Can't wait to try 'em , will change to PS/2 this weekend if the storms do stop :p The tiger ia waiting for his new shoes
