Owner reviews for tires

I bought a set Falken RT660s for the corrado. Very nice tire on the street.

This year has been crazy, I’m into three sets of Michelins 2xPS4S on the 981 and 911 plus a set of PSS on the BMW

Selling the SS was a god send for this. It ate a set of PS4S's every 3 months. 16 tires went to it every year, then the Lotus took a set, so before the E38, that was 20 tires a year.

They are nice tires that roll really well. Mud and other soft ground can be an issue with the low tread and cornering can be a bit iffy with minuscule side knobs and rounded profile.

If you really want a budget tire I’d recommend the Continental extreme contacts... I have them on my R for daily driving and they’ve been great. I’m right around 494 WHP and they have excellent traction in a straight line and turning. It’s actually pretty hard to get them to spin

+1 for Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Had the Cup 2’s on my PP2 (305 front and rear), they lasted 7,500 miles, lots of grip but no grip when cold or damp. Switched to PS4’s currently with 21,000 miles, and probably another ~10,000 left in them. Much better all weather performance, and they had ~90% of the grip of the Cup 2’s. Also added benefit of a slightly softer ride due to a softer sidewall.

I switched to the shinko 244 front and have loved the d606 rear combo. It dives into the corners on the road and will give you about 80% confidence on the dirt.

I run an pirelli mt21 on the front because it's about the same aggressiveness on the tread, but has a softer rubber, so I can use the front brake with a little more confidence on-road.

When I picked up a set of wheels a few years ago, they had half life G-Force Comp-2 all seasons on them, so I just used those for half a season. 225/45/17 of those were quicker than 205/55/16 Hankook RS3 autocross tires that were probably heat cycled out but had tread left. Point is, those BFGs aren't terrible and the sidewall was stiff enough not to be rolling over.

From what I've seen manufacturers put garbage tires from big name brands on from the factory. Goodyear makes the Wrangler SR-A which is an absolute garbage tire.
