Your going to love the ps2's. By far the best tire I have ever had. I now have the pilot sport a/s for winter and they are almost as good..

Any chance you have a pic straight from the back? I know it won't show off your new wheels (which look great BTW) but I'd love a clean shot of a debadged car on 275s. I'm going to go with PS2s as well. Only tire I've used in the last few years.

Looks good. How is the handling with the H&R's over stock?

The 285/35 Nittos DRs should. If they rub I will go with the 275/35 BFG DRs. I'm going to order a second set of rear wheels for them in the same finish/size.

18s are better in every sense for performance (drag and track) which I think is super's #1 goal right now...plus they are more comfortable

What Ghazan said plus tire selection sucks for 19s.

Super do you have any idea what the difference in wheel weight alone was vs stock?

Thanks! She's a sexy beast.

Tons of weight info in the original Gunmetal Thread. These new F14s (Rated at 1520-lbs) are about .5-.7lbs heavier than the old 1200-lbs rated ones.
