Grand Sport tires.
I need new tires my Eagle F1's are bald. Front 275/35/18 Rear 325/30/19 (Stock sizes).
I'm debating on getting getting Nitto Invo's or Michelin Pilot Super Sport?
Which setup did y'all go?
Will 285/35/18 and 345/30/19 have ant clearance issues on both tires?

Just got the Michelin PSS last week. Had three vettes and all had them shoes put on 'em!
Tomorrow I go to the shop and they install them.
So Michelin's you should go with! Just my $0.02!

If you are looking for a track tire, the Nitto Invo is definitely not the tire you want. I would go with the Michelin Pilot Super Sport, in the sizes you asked about. You shouldn't have any problems at all.

Anything but the Goodyears (which aren't bad when they're new - except noisy, but they heat cycle hard in short order, and are soon worthless).

If you are looking for a good track tire, find something with a treadwear rating below 200.
The Michelins and Bridgestones are a good compromise for street and track, but you will be disappointed if you compare them to a real track rated tire.

I squeezed 15,000 out of the GY's on my 13 GS and then went with the Bridgestone Potenza RFT's last spring and had the Pfadt street alignment applied. I have 11,000 miles on them and they are wearing great. My estimate for my driving style is about 30,000 miles on these tires. They are not as sticky as the GY's but they don't have to be for the average driver.

I have 26,000 on my Bridgestone's and they are looking like they could go another 20K at least......but I would be happy for 15 more......280 tread wear rating I believe......

Hi guys. I'm a new guy and I just bought a 2012 GS Centennial vert. This car needed new skins so I did a lot of research on what tires to get and what price to pay. It came to the Michelin non flat and the Bridgestone RFT's. So now it was a money thing because either tire brand would be good. I went with the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position RFT's. I ordered 4 tires for a total of $1458.72 plus $92.59 for shipping through OnlineTires.com. This was the best deal I could find in my area(New England). First time I used these guys and I am very happy. I figured I share this info if it helps someone save some $$.
