HELP...Which tyres should I go for ???

BRIDGESTONE Potenza RE050A 285/30 R19

or

DUNLOP SP Sport Maxx 285/30 R19 XL

or

MICHELIN Pilot Sport PS2 285/30 R19

or

YOKOHAMA ADVAN Sport (V103) 285/30 R19


I have 4 choices...Had PS2 before and they are OK but I think they wear quiet fast...

Had Advan Sport 102 and they fine also, but some people said PS2 has better grip...Still have Advan 102 245/35 19 in the front...

Which tyres offer BEST GRIP and which one should I go for ???


Thanks

Dude, with all the HP you are putting down, everything is gonna wear fast.

Hated my Toyo RA1's at first but now I am starting to love um more and more.

I would give the Bridgestone RE050's a try!....I have run the PS2's and RE050's....and personally I feel the Bridgestones help the car launch better......the PS2's give a smoother drive.

if your gonna run potenzas try the RE01R
if your gonna run ADVANs try the NEOVA AD07
personaly i want to get the new p-zeros but they dont have my size for another 4 months, so i might go with the potenza RE01Rs

I did the same thing and agree, accept I think the PS2s were noisier.

im guessing you ment RE01R? if so no they only come 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. to me this size work perfect never a problem. and if the new P-zero isnt out in time this is what im gonna try.

not sure a 285/30 will fit? have you used this size?

You that what I meant...I never tried 285/30 at the back...but many people use them, you just need to have correct offset ET38 wotb rub for sure...

245/35 front and 285/30 rears that what Carlsson reccomends for my wheels...

I want more grip, therefore I am thinking of trying 285/30 but you made ME thinking again of staying with 275/30 and geeting RE01R which rated the best by tirerack I think...

Anyonetried RE01R on their beasts ??? I they Y rated ???
