Wait, are you talking about wheels or tires?

I'm confused.

OE size, either i m getting the

PZERO'S which are 2100 at SR autogroup

Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R <--- 2750$ at Volco

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec <----- 2000 at Volco

I think im going with the Dunlop, for me its down to either Potenza or Dunlop because they are both Extreme Performance and many friends have told me to get those

PS2's are way too expensive. Have you looked into Kumho and Falken, they make superb tires with tremendous amounts of grip. Many people who autocross use them because of their performance.

Seems to be, but you know electrical gremlins....it will show up again at some point.

I just want the snow to melt so I can put my PS2's back on and really drive it again.

You might want to take this over to the Vancouver Meet thread so that we're not accused of threadjacking young Jeffy's discussion.

But I hear what you're saying about the weather and the tires. I can't wait to put my Pirellis back on the C63 also. I might just do that this Saturday.

PS2s are definitely in the same league as P Zeros. Many will say they're superior, in fact.

Get something with a higher treadwear rating, especially given the way YOU drive.

Try the Dunlop Sport MAXX. Reasonably priced, great tread life, very good performance, but they do get noisier as they put on more miles.

I don't know about the Dunlop's but everyone that gets our car with the Bridgestone's bishes that they didn't get the PS2's. In fact, most owners are now requesting that they receive their cars with the Michelins.

I also disagree that most parents know how to judge their kid - especially when it comes to driving. I mean all these kids mowing-down people (such as on 4th ave a few days ago), and drag racing....they don't go home and tell their parents about this obviously. They only way for a parent to know is when the cop rings the doorbell to let them know that their kid is either dead or arrested for driving 250km/h.
yea that's obviously what i meant, my PARENTS got the c63 for me because my PARENTS know how to judge me and trust that i wouldn't do anything stupid with it ..didn't think i had to specify that my PARENTS got it for me , and I'm pretty sure that i didn't say that I GOT MY SELF A C63.

you shouldve known i didn't get it MYSELF since i just turned 18, and the minimum 'financial contract entrance requirement' is 19. ill be sure to specify next time.

We should all have a bet where we try to determine which driver under the age of 25 will be the first fatality with this car. Lets start by listing everyone under the age of 25 here by username. People under the age of 25 cannot bet because they will contaminate the results.
