Toyo T1-S, BridgeStone SO-3s or Michellin PS2??
What should I get? I don't track my car, only spirited driving on back roads ones in a long while. I prefer something quiet and handles nice.
Any input will help, thanks!
P.S. I have 19s wrapped in SO-3s right now, and they are getting quite noisey!!

Just went from S03's to T1S ... During the first week I posted a positive review about how they grip fairly well, except for the additional bodyroll.
I retract the praise I gave these tires. At 6/10ths of the car's handling limit, they stick just like my old S03's. But recently late at night I tried a turn at barely 7 or maybe 8/10ths and almost lost it with serious loss of grip from the new 255/35 front toyos where the S03's would grip without a single complaint.
The bodyroll really saps away confidence, and the traction is definitely not predictable. Although if you're looking for a comfortable, sporty ride, these are a good choice.

Thanks for the review! I might lean toward the Goodyear...or possibly wait for the new Toyo that's coming out in the spring.

we sell all brands of tires, as we have been a Tire Rack dealer for a long time. I will say this much - I have driven my Z at 10/10ths more times than I can count, and have yet to reach the limits of the T1S on the road.
S03's are fantastic tires as well - I used them on my S4 and loved them.

I vote for T1S all day everyday. Yes they do slip especially full of air! But thats the fun with the Z, its a race car on the street.
I would be pissed if my tires stuck to the pavement. If I cant slide I rather die!
Seriously; if I was in a race on a track and it wasnt a drift- I would hate these tires...... Theyre down right dangerous.
But like I said thats the fun with racing around your city; slipin and slidin all over town.
