Time again for tires, this will make 3rd set of rears and 2nd on front. Read about folks going to Sumitomos HTRZIII and Dunlop Star Spec. I'm hoping they last a little longer, but can anyone comment of grip (hook up and turn in). Thanks.

i recommend the goodyear eagle tires.

 

get some nitto 555r. make sure they the drag radials 285/35/18 trust me you wont have any issues with grip with does tires.

 

I used Sumitomos HTRZIII Really i didn`t like it When i had race on street they burnt in the street .

Now I am using Dunlop Direzza DZ101 I like it

But for real No tire same as the PS2 I used and I try most of tires but not same this one

I think try to use PS2

 

PS2's get my ultimate vote but they are too expensive for me to care to replace every 5000 miles.

I've got Nitto Invo's now, coming from Nitto NT05's and I have to say I would highly recommend either. Very nice ride, very quiet and great grip in the dry.

The NT05 could honestly be worthless in the wet though.

Just my two pennies.

 

+1 for the ps2 too expensive

My friend said the Nitto 555R some thing amazing Better then PS2

I will try it next time

 

+1 for the Nitto 555's. I got 11k miles out of mine with a bunch of track days. Good performance and price as well.

The only negatives about them is when it's wet, they are a handfull.

 

ADVAN Neova AD08

 

PS2 for sure

 

Nitto INVO or PS2

 

＋１

 

+1

 

Just replaced my Conti Sports with Vredenstein Ultras. After 200 miles the grip has improved notably, turn-in more or less identical. All in all the Vred's are amazing at this price point.

hankook V12 is my choice

 

Plus 2, great tire, much better than the PS2.

 

The stock Continental ContiSport P5's were not the best. Good at first, now average.

I have got Bridgestone Adrenalin RE-001's 265/35/18 on now. Really happy so far (2000km in). Will see how they last, but they seem like they'll get good life.

Next, I am going to try a set of semi slicks. I've always been happy with RE-55S's on my previous car (Evo IX), so I'll give them a whirl over summer. Obviously they'll grip awesome, so it'll be more about wear with them than anything.

 

What size would you recommend the Goodyear eagles?

 

I recently decided to go with the Pilot Sport A/S and am really liking them after 1500 miles.....with a 45K mile warranty, sflgator recently had his rears replaced after 11K miles for under $240. Just something to consider.

 

Can you fit the 275's on without any problems? anybody do this?

 

A little off topic, but does the MB Tire/Wheel warranty cover non-stock tires in case of a road hazard? I'm about to buy the PS2's and was contemplating whether or not I should buy tirerack's road hazard plan.

 

I run 265 but read that many other are running 275 with no issues. Also depends upon the tire make and model.

 

Thanks anyone running 275's care to share what size and tire on stock 18's.

 

Anyone run a search.....nope.
