Re: Which Pilot Sport to get? (MagRed01Atty)
I have the sports and like them over the run-craps.
If you are using the stock rims, why wouldn't you use the stock tire sizes?
The Bridgestone S-02s are a awesome tire too. :smash:

I'm running the Pilot Sports A/S ZP's. No need to give up the safety of a run-flat with these tires. You can have both safety and performance from one tire.

If you want to make a big change for not that much bucks call John at CCW and he can put a "big" package together with 335x30x18 on the rear and also big tires on the front. He know the right offsets and the sizing is the viper tire that has been changed so there is a big discount on the cost of the tires. Wheels plus tires were in the range of $3200. I then sold off my stock polished wheels and EMT's to further reduce the cost.

Re: Which Pilot Sport to get? (another mitch)
Hey another mitch,
I am more than willing to take a pass on "making the french richer," but I want what every californian (not much rain), wants; sticky, non-runflat, long-lasting tires and I don't care who cashes my check really. Michelin seems to be the top favorite based on research. please gice specifics. :)
