I need to replace my rear tires . Front will remain PS2's for another year or so. What would you recommend as a replacement tire?

Michelin Pilot Super Sport, they are stickier and have better sidewalls for cornering.

Michelin PSS are #1
I chose the Hankook V12's because I could get all 4 for under $800

so far they've been pretty good!

Oh wow, just did a bit of research on the supersport. I didn't know about it!

I was really disappointed with my PS2's they didn't last long at all, and they didn't have half the grip as some other tires i've tried. And the PS2's where VERY EXPENSIVE! I hated them.

I would say I would try a set of Super Sports. But I've been a long time Nitto fan. Now that they finally brought out sizes for our cars, 275/35/18 and 245/40/18, they are both on my AMG and my STi.

And the fact I live in Arizona and will never take my AMG out in the rain, the NT05's will always stay on my vehicles.
