Current setup:

Fronts: 19x9.5, +22, 255/35/19
Rears: 19x10.5, +22, 275/35/19

PS2's all around

My rear tires are just getting down to the wear bars, but starting to show cords in the center, and traction for acceleration is gone.

Front tires are worn 50%, so they are staying for now.

I wanted to go with a 285/35/19 in the rear since the 275's had trouble putting 297 WHP to the ground, even with fresh meat. I would eventually replace the fronts with 265/35/19's

With the PS2, going from 275 to 285 costs $150 more PER TIRE!!! Just because it's a Ferrari fitment.

PSS are priced a little less, but only come in the 275, no 385 yet. I was hoping to hold out to see what the PSS 285 pricing would be, but I need to pull the trigger. Might the PSS 275 improve traction through 1st?

Anyway, there's always the RE11 and the S-04, although I have seen little to no feedback on the S-04. THat and there is a 5-lb weight penalty for each of the Bridgestones, vs PS2 or PSS.

So, I am coming here for opinions. I do track occasionally, but I do that on the stockers, not on my beloved gloss black LE-37's.

I am afraid I would wear out the RE-11 in no time. I am a very aggressive occasional back-road street driver.

Thanks!

I know! Please, no lowering comments

 

I am in love with michellin ps2's.

I buy them used at a sick discount w/ 6/32s remaining (roughly $100 m/b /tire).

Stick w them imo.... and find a place to buy the used.

Retail is for people who don't know better.

 

re-11's ftw

 

ps2's or pss, everything else is a disappointment.

 

lgear, pm me the place you get your used tires please. thanks.

 

craigslist is where i found my guy, i got 2 295/30/19 and 2 255/35/19 ps2's for $280 with 8/32 left.

 

I am very very happy with my RE050s.

 

I honestly would not mix any of those with the PS2's remaining on the car. Michelin specifically says not to mix the S-Sports with PS2's and the RE-11 is in a much higher performance class than the PS2. I would either buy a full set of the same all around or another pair or PS2's especially if the car driven that hard where its most vital all is balanced front/rear.

 

You, sir, are my new best friend!!!! I picked up some used 305/30/19 PS2's with 7/32 - $200 for the pair!!! They are mounted and balanced and looking mean as he11. I need to lower this beast now :-)
EDIT: These things list for $622 apiece on tire rack
