Tire shopping

imageautodetail · 12-12-2012, 01:46 PM

Not really worried too much about price, would like to be 300-350 for rears, 250ish on fronts, 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 car should be in the 550whp range by spring only 510ish now I have had 2 sets of v12s and there are ok, I drive the car hard and take it to the 1/8 mile twice a month, want a good all around tire that I can run at both with OK wet grip

Go with 235/40/18, 265/35/18 (depending on the wheel specs of course) - Sounds like the Michelin Pilot Super Sports is perfect for what you're looking for.

vmr 701 8.5et35, 9/5et33 PSS 235/265, it's a good combo. previous owner of the set had the FFTEC single turbo, the set is still solid.
