My other car drives itself
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

I just installed the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (replaces the Pilot Super Sport) and am very, very happy with them. No noise, no wandering, no tread squirm, just great feel and tons and tons of grip. My wagon has a fairly stout AMS tune (600+WHP, 740+WTQ) and I've always had issues with wheel spin. Previously, mashing WOT at 75MPH would result in a LOT of wheel spin. Now, it just hooks. Even from a dead stop. Color me impressed. My new favorite tire.

I'm running +10mm width tires over stock, front and rear and stock aspect ratios.

Good to know. Just picked up a '12 with 36K on it. Has OEM Pirellis that are in good shape, but I hear they don't last long and am already looking at replacements. I always liked the old Super Sports, had them on my C32 a decade ago. I was surprised how much tire spin I get in this thing with TC on, and I'm stock.
Nice pic BTW

I've had the PS4s on for a month now, and I love them. Tons of grip all the time.

255/35/19 F and 295/30/19 R. This is actually a better F/R ratio bc the rolling diameter will be almost even.

I am lowered with springs in the front links in the rear with 15mm spacers on the rear. Would I have to go down to a 10mm spacer since the tire is wider? I have Pzeros on there now how and have a little scraping on the front passenger side with a 10mm spacer any idea how the fronts compare between the two in overall width?

I dont understand why wouldnt the car come with 295/30 in stock form if thats closer to the fronts than 285/30?

Just got mine installed last week as well. So far very impressed. PS4S does not come in 285 as stated above. 295's fill out wheel well very nicely.
Looked at the new Conti Extreme but could not find them locally.
Just hope they wear good. But again very good so far.

tbh not really, traction for me at least feels the same as the pzeros but the ride quality/ nose and everything else is a whole lot better than the pzeros
