Which tires would you use?

Hi everyone. I have a 14 1 le with a blower cam, LTs, ported tb. Etc. with an estimated 450-460 rwhp. It is my daily driver and was wondering what tires I should get since my good years are about gone at 11500 miles. Thank you

Michelin Pilot Super Sports are nice, too bad they don't make them in the sizes I need for the SS without 1LE

Goodyears are pretty cheap right now on Tire Rack...if you like them, I'd buy a new set. Michelin PSS are my tire of choice, but currently running Hankook RS3 version 2, which are good grip dry, not sure about how they are in the wet...

You got 11,500 miles out of the goodyears?? I'd stick with them. I replaced mine at 5,000 miles, but i run mine hard on the track. For the money I really like the goodyears.

I'm at 19,5XX miles on my stock GYs. A lot of highway driving mixed with spirited driving. Rear tires need replaced, front tires look to be about 50%. I've never tracked them. Right now I'm considering PSS and Hankook RS-3 ver2

I just bought PSS's in a 285-35-20 based on reviews of So Cal Camaro and some others. I liked that they are decent in the wet, have a good warranty and ride fairly smooth and quiet. My brother lives around the Atlanta area and drives a newer BMW M3 with PSS's and loves them. You guys only have a few cold spells and the PSS is better in the cold and will get twice the life of the F1's.
