Tires help
I have been for weeks tire searching on here and around the internet for a replacement to mine.
I read good and bad about BFG Sport Comp-2's, Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110's, Vredestein's, Cooper Zeon RS3-S', Mickey Thompson Street Comp, etc. I like the Pzero's, but wonder if there is something better out there for my SS. I prefer summer tires since it is only cold for a few months at most here. I don't drive in snow (which we get maybe once a year). For all-season's, there is General G-Max, Toyo Proxes 4 plus, Toyo Proxes 4, Nitto Motivo, Continental Extreme Contact DWS, etc. I am looking for a tire with decent treadwear (will last at least 30k miles) that has performance and fits on stock SS rims. Holding off on changing rims for now. I drive my car as a DD spiritedly at times, very aggressive driver, I take it to drag strip once in a while, and hope to autox eventually. Any tips? I wish there was a sticky for tire reviews from members in this sub-forum.

If you don't mind paying the price and running 35 series tires, I'd say run Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I'm running 285/35 on 20x10 all around. Definitely a lot of grip and longer lasting dd/trackday tire out on the market right now. They also have real good wet weather grip...

I know you had the BFG Sport Comp-2's before on your L99. How do they compare?

Michelin Super Sports are considered one of the very best. I also like the BFG Comp 2 for the price. Very good for street use.

I'd love them but they are out of budget and don't fit stock rims.

I'm getting BFG Sport Comp-2's. Readily available in my area if I need a replacement and fits what I'm looking for.

Almost 500 miles on my BFG's and so far very happy with them. Did a bit of aggressive driving today and they held up very well.
