Default Michelin PS2/ Pirelli Pzero/Bridgestone S03/ BFG KDW

I was wondering what peoples experience is with the tires are and if anyone has had more then one of them that can compare? The car is going to have 20x10.5 and the rear is undicided so far. For the rear i was thinking that if i went with the PS2's i could run a 20x12 with a 335/30/20 or a 345/25/20 with the Pirelli Pzeros. Or i could do 20x10.5 all around and use the bridgestone S03's or BFG KDW's in 285/30/20 like on topsecrets car.

I have 285/30/20's on my coupe and I have the PS2's. I really do love those tires. They are excellent, although they are pricey.

I have also used the GS-D3's and those are also an excellent tire. They are a little more comfortable than the PS2's. However, I feel that the overall performance of the PS2's is simply hard to beat. If you can afford the extra $ for the michelin's, then go for them. They are imo, the best you can get.

For the record, this is my second set of PS2's, so i am a repeat customer at this point.

I had Pirelli PZero's Front and Back. Very quiet, excellent ride, but unfortunately you don't get much mileage from them. Backs went in about 10,000 miles. Also on the rear mud guards I was always cleaning off rubber residue, I think due to the soft compound of the tire. I have Toyos now and am very happy.

The car will be widebody, it hasnt come in yet. The wheels are 20x10.5 and 20x12, but that might change to 20x10.5 all around depending on some other factors like tires.

The Continental ContiSportContact 2's are the only ones that i know of that come in that size.

I think im gonna go with the Pirelli's. I want all out performence mostly and they seem to do it. THe treadware is a little scary but the car is only driven to work(2miles away) and the weekends. They come in a 355/25/19 with a 14.1" section width if anyone wants some real meat in the rear, lol.

keep in mind that chart shows the BFG KDW not the KDW-2. The KDW-2 is much better.
