Pretty much Pilot Super Sports, and they cost less than the OEM runflats. Anything else, pretty sure people are splitting hairs over saving $20 per wheel, etc.

I tried a set of Conti DW and liked them but I think John070 is right. Everything you read (mag tests etc.)says Pilots are the best.

Mich PSS are easily the best. Star Specs are pretty good, and for cheaper options that don't suck Yoko S-drives and Ventus V12s/Evos are solid.

I know you are all going to laugh at me but I drove on these from nyc to central pa in a blizzard right before new years. Prior to I thought they were good summer tire but after the snowy encounter I have much more confidence in using the all season. I know call me crazy. Now for the tire.... Nexen ultra high performance summer tires...... They are not expensive and they are awesome. Please do not yell at me and tell me I need to spend at least a grand to have good tires. This is only my opinion and yes I have bough much more expensive brand tires in the past and could never justify the price. side not I do not track but drive the car very hard. Cheers |

I just got a set of Michelin super sports. They're exactly what I expected good tires to be.
I went from RFT potenzas to yokohama envigor all seasons to the super sports. The switch away from non-RFT was a great change since it was less jarring and much more quiet than the stiff RFT. I was actually pretty content with the yokohama tires until I got the super sports and realized how much I've been missing out. Get the super sports! It's well well worth the extra money over the other options. A huge improvement over the RFTs as well. |

I am running Michelin pilot super sports, had bf gforce, bridgestones, etc
. These are by far the best! You get what you pay for, tire rack is best for pricing and just have local shop install them....

Costco has an instant $70 rebate on all 4 tires. It was the best I could find even with having the tire shop match or beat tire rack / discount tire direct / tirebuyer Discount tire or Kaufman tire shops will beat / match the best price you find. |

Michelin Pilot Super Sport and Bridgestone RE-11's are Amazing tires. Continental DW's are the BEST performing tire for the price. I personally consider the DW's a better performing tire than the Michelin PS2's.
Tire's are a personal preference and mostly has to do with the customers budget. |

Do you guys really think the conti rfts are noisy compared to non-rfts? To me contis are fairly quiet but maybe I am really missing out. Haven't made the non-rft switch yet.

Anyone know what the safest tire is for rainy conditions. I had a set of Hankook V12's and hydroplaned during a storm. Did a 360 and slammed my car into a concrete barrier at 50mph. After that incident, i'm most concerned with how a tire performs in the rain. Any suggestions?

No one mentions the Pilot Sport 2s... they're $500 more than a set of PSSs, but are RFTs. What do y'all think?

I would like a decent summer performance tire, but am more concerned with rain performance...especially since a have a baby on the way. Safety first! I also do not want RFT's. In my opinion, they feel horrible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |
