Which set of tires would you recommend over the other ?
I apologize if someone else had asked this question before. Im debating between those few sets and I don’t know which one to choose. Im currently running on Michelin ps2 and I love it. Should I stick with it or change to one of these:
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport
I also have a question about those different types of Bridgestone, which one is the best and would anyone recommend the RE-11?
Thank you, and sorry if it’s a repeated thread.

If you get RE-11s, you have to either get 275/40's or bigger, or you won't have the right load index...the 35 profiles in 255-275 have a max load of 90...C63 requires 94 in the rears.

I was looking at the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport for my 19's that are on the way. Seems like dollar for dollar they are a decent tire. I'm probably going with those or the Nitto 555's again.

If you are willing to pay that much and if your focus is on performance, there are only 3 that you need to look at:
1. Dunlop Z1 StarSpec (best vaule)
2. Bridgestone RE-11
3. Advan Ad08, I consider this tire slightly better than RE-11 in absolute dry grip on track
All 3 above will be heavier than PS2 that you have on currently due to better reinforced sidewall. I doubt you will feel the added weight but your turn in will be crisper and the tires should 'roll' less in a corner. Tire life should be comparable to PS2 and road noise should be somewhat more.
