Tires

What tires do you guys have on your cars, and what is your opinion of them?

Pilot's...the best, had S03's, P Zero's and contis on other cars but Michelins are the best riding smoothest tires IMHO.

I think when you get into a max performance tire you can not really go wrong. I had the same dilemma when I upgraded my wheels. I had the Michelin Pilots and they were a great solid tire and I had a quiet ride with them. I only had the tire for 2 weeks so I can’t tell you about tread life.

I now have the Bridgestone’s S03 and feel the tire is a better handling tire. After they are warmed up you can handle almost anything.

I had flat spotting issues with the S03's and the tech support guy at the Tire Rack was well aware of this problem.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I have Pirelli PZero Assimetricos. So far, not bad.
