Can someone recommend me new tires better than p-zeros? Good Turn Handling + Rain??
Can someone recommend me new tires? I'm completely new to buying tires and don't want to buy worse tires than I already have. Mine are in need of replacing.
Thinking: -That won't be a step down from my current Pirelli P-Zero's? (20") -That can handle curves well without sliding (there's a really really sharp 270 degree turn I take everyday from home) -That can handle wet environments well. (Ability to drive at normal speeds in heavy rain for work) -That won't skid when if I ever start fast at a green light (Happens sometimes on bad roads, usually in wet environments) Does anyone know of a good brand/type that you think would be nice for me?

This is a step sideways but not a step down. These are available to fit the RS/SS 20 inch offset wheels. Sidewalls are softer in the turns than the Pzeros but for mid-west winters they make the car drivable when needed to be so.

Would a Michelin Pilot Super Sport also fit what he's trying to look for? How would those compare to what you posted above?

thanks guys for the recs Doing research on those brands now. How do the Super Sports compare to what you guys posted above? It looks like a bit different type.
And Will 275/35/20 front tires and 295/35/20 for rears fit my car? (20" RS) Last edited by crewxp; 11-13-2012 at 02:58 PM. |

if you are going to put 275's up front....go with a 275/40 just like the stock tire size.

I have Hankook Ventus V12's on mine. I bought the car used so I didn't have much time with the Pirellis, and when I did they didn't have much tread, but I'm definitely pleased with the Hankooks.

I put Toyo Proxes4+ on and i love them! A great all season tire and very impressed with the winter traction i have in a Montana blizzard.

I've just put on Conti ExtremeContact DWS and they are working great in Seattle (cold/wet).
