You guys should really try the indy 500s. They are amazing and a fraction of the cost of those Michelins. Those PS4 are way overpriced. Maybe if I drove a brand new Porsche or something. I didn't choose to buy a 350z because I'm balling out of control here though...... it's the most performance for the money on the market today
Can't say I disagree with you. I respect you even more for your discipline and self control regarding your budget.

Agreed. I took the chance on a set of Indy 500s when they first came out a few years ago, and for the price they are definitely worth the money. They're not the best performing tire by any means, but for the price, you cannot beat them.
Never do I do that. It doesn't matter how much money you have. Every super rich person I have ever met has said they got that way by watching every penny. Money management is all about figuring out what's worth the extra money and what isn't. You will make only a finite amount of money in your lifetime. Spend it wisely. You have the entire world's information on you phone. Do a little research. I have money because I don't waste it.
Worth is dependable on each individual, I like the Michelin tires and I've been running on Michelin tires for 9+ years. I choose where I want to spend my cash, I made it after all. The sizes I'm running aren't those that your average tire company makes lol.
What size do you run? I was surprised to find that I'm buying the largest tires they make in the firestone indy 500s and the general rs tires I was considering also only go up to 275/40/18
To be fair my "unsprung, rotational mass" comment was directed at DarkZ03 with his 305s on 19s. I did take a quick gander at his posts. From what I saw it seems he's on a stock DE engine. Seems like a downgrade to go that big on that amount of power. But yeah, I could see have over 450 HP needing more than 275 summers. I don't plan on adding power so 275 is all I'll go. Any more and I'll just be adding weight and decreases the vehicles reflexes with not really any additional benefit.
I'm on a bolt on DE but will go FI within 2 years and aiming for 500whp so yeah I want a meaty setup. Stock rear weight is around 60lbs per wheel/tire my setup should be 58-59 so it's not heavier. If I intended on staying NA I would wave gone for 245/275 in 18 and would have got a forged monoblock wheel. I was going to go for the forged wheels but the offsets weren't ideal and I fell in love with these. Heavier yes, but made to MY specs so it is whatever
