Tires!

replace your stock tires with these when they're worn down!

interesting,

Though aside from those extreme performance tires, has anybody here tried the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric? They seem to have got a lot of good reviews.

Ditto, I have read some not so good reviews of Khumo and Falkens.

I'll go PS2's when these wear out. I prefer them over any other performance tire I've tried for the best combo of grip and wear... I just hate the price on PS2s in these sizes

I really like the Michelin Sport Cups for ultimate grip although dicey in heavy rain.

Don't disregard the Khumo tires.

I have seen them being used on LMP2 cars in Europe and they are good, very good!

The Khumos have great reviews are value priced - I'd try them. Though I'm thrilled with how the stocker Pzeros perform. Have had first gen pilots - hated them. Also loved Potenza Poles a few years ago.

I picked up a set of the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions for my 19 inchers, and I like them thus far. Supposed to be comparable to the PS2s at a more reasonable price.

ive had most of the tires you guys mentioned but ive settled down with toyo for the long run. good value and reliable performance. the T1-R's are priced reasonably and perform nearly on par with pzero's or ps2's...
