Time to get new tires

After just over 18k miles, it's time to replace my original Pilot Sports with a new set. While I've been happy with these original Michelins, I was wondering if anyone out there has any thoughts on what to get next. Anyone have the Pilot PS2, Goodyear Eagle F1, BFG G-Force T/A, or Bridgestone Potenza S-03? Or anything else for that matter?

I'll recommend the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3... A friend of mine with a BMW 330i had the Brigesstone S-03 Pole Positions and had serious tramlining issues...

Came as OEM tires on my Golf R32. Reported to be good in the wet but soft sidewalls prone to bubbling if you hit even a small pothole.

I like my Toyo T1S. Good in rain and very good dry traction.

GS-D3s are great. Lotsa threads on tires. Do a search.

Toyo T1-S is a very good choice. They are lighter, just as much grip, and they cost less than most others.

Another vote for Toyo T1-S. Amazing launch grip. Nice ride. Great in the rain (surprisingly). Blowout pricing at edgeracing.com

PS2's are great. Very aggressive tire for the C, but enjoy the added grip, better feedback, and turn in.

I had the michelin sports then went to p-zero rossos and finally i have toyo T1-S' and my next will be another set of toyos... A great tire for both wet and dry traction. The P-zero's ran horribly in the rain and before they warmed up my steering wheel would rattle like crazy. The michelins got too loose when boost kicked in coming out of a turn.
