Replacing a flat. Change all 4 or just front 2? Wide Pilot SS to Continental/PZero - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Quick question. I have all Michellin Pilot Super Sports. There's a in-repairable front tire, so I need to buy another.

They recommended I purchase all 4 new tires, they suggested Nitto Motivos, but I don't think I'm going to go with that.

I was looking at Continental Extreme Contact, Continental ControlContact, Pirelli Scorpion Winter, Pirelli P Zero (Non All season).

My tires are also 275/35 and 295/35 instead of the stock 245/45 and 275/40.

With my Super Sports, would you guys just recommending replacing the front tires only? Or should I replace all 4. I was thinking of keeping the rear SS because they're good tires and are a little larger than stock?

Any of the above brands you recommend as well?

I use it as a daily driver, have a few issues with sliding when it's wet roads, accelerate fast and brake quick. There's a small amount of o2 cracking on all tires as well.

If you have issues on wet roads with PSS tires it's only going to get worse going with one of the other choices.

How many miles on your current setup?

I would recommend the Nitto Invo's. The continentals have soft wide walls. The invo's have very stiff side walls and they handle really well in the rain. I ran the invo's for about 2 years and loved them. I switched the rear tires to the NT05's for a bit more grip but I still the invo's up front. Really good tires for the money.
