Hi guys,

If money wasn't the issue, which is the best tire? What are the differences?

thanks.

I wanted to try something different. I went with the P Zero Nero. I'm very happy with this tire. Luke from The Tire Rack sent me in this direction. Look at theses test results.

Money is never an issue, performance IS. I will rate T1-S over the three.

I like the Toyo T1S too, maybe the best kept secret in tires.
Compared to Pilot Sports, similar performance, smoother running, better price, better wear, and every size.

I suggest you study the new Goodyear GS-D3's as well.

Never tried the Toyos although I've heard good things. Can't go wrong with the S03's.

I'm going to have to agree with everyone else. Toyo T1-S is the best performance tire out there.

I have gone through two sets of Toyos T-1s in 30K miles. Great tires, the best attribute is soft transition from understeer to oversteer. Easy to control.

I currently have the P Zero Nero's fitted on my ride and they're great. Much better than the previous Dunlop Sport SP9000 I had fitted imo.

I think the C32 would warrant a set of R-spec tires to improve grip, etc, for the summer. I just got some new rims so i think the stockers will have some R-spec for track use.

can't find S03s in the size i wanted so i want with the P7000 on the CLK55 and P-Zero Nero on the C32, so far the P7000 has been decent. I can't tell you about the P-Zeros yet 'cause i havent had a chance to put 'em on the car.
