jokergerm · 07-10-2012, 01:43 PM

I am needing new tires

275 30 19 rear and 245 35 19 front

I had sumitomos on there and they were ok, just looking for a great over all tire thats priced good, i dont drive it in the snow just rain and dry roads.

i want something that will hook up well

Michelin Pilot Super Sports (PSS)

I went from spinning from a 2nd gear punch on Yokohama S-drives, to a dead hook in 1st gear with the PSS.

Michelins PS2 or PSS. They are stupid sticky. Not fantastic in the wet, mind, so if you get a lot of rain - go for Goodyear Eagle F1s. They also won't tramline as much as good year due to pattern. Continental Contact Sport 2 or whatever it is, not 3, the 2 are good alternative and tramline least from all tyres I've had.

Heard good thinkgs on Vredesteins but they never come out on TOP of the tyre tests - Michelins and Contis on the other hand seem to be 1-3 very often.

Bridgestone Re-11 or Michelin PSS are my 2 tires of choice.

+1

These would be the top choices for best dry grip and handling.

Agreed. If you're looking to spend a bit less, Yokohama S-drives and Hankook Ventus V12's are good choices as well.

ok my new tires should weigh 14 LBS less than my sumitomos do you think i will be able to notice 14lbs less in rotational mass? maybe a little bit faster??

No, not because of the weight, but you will notice a difference in handling and steering response because if moving to the PSS because it has superior grip and handling compared to the Sumitomo HTRZ3.

I'm sorry, Tire Rack does not offer coupon codes, but orders placed online referring to E90 Post using the instructions in my signature do help out the E90Post.com web site.
