Which tire would you recommend?
Yes, I know, "search is your friend", look through the past posting, most are older ones and I believe there are more brands available.
I'm looking for a street use car, I don't track my BS and the current stock Pirelli P0 Corsa System take too long to heat up. Still a lots of tread left on the Corsa, but for as little as I drive the car, I want tires that heat up quickly.
I went to Big O Tire and they suggested Michelin Pilot Sport PS2, any thoughts?
Thanks
Todd

The PS2's are the way to go - I have written lots about why I feel they are a better street tire than the OEM Corsa. Heating up quickly is important, but MAINTAINING the heat is equally as important - Take a look:

They really are a great tire and you won't be disappointed. If you want something less expensive to thrash on...I think others have used Bridgestones and/or Sumitomo's.

Has anyone tried the Hankook Ventus V12s or the Continental Extreme Contact DW tires they are showing on TireRack as a cheap replacement? I have never been a big fan of Continentals but they have a ridiculous rating on tirerack. There also appear to be alot more options if you are willing to run wider wheels and tires. Bridgestone has a new tire (Potenza RE-11) which looks like it may be good. I know some of you are running 305's on the rear. Anyone running 275's on the fronts?
