PRV Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hi, I have run the Pirelli PZero Rosso on my last 16' Prestige and they lastest very well (about 40+k of normal driving). My current car I run Dunlop Sport Maxx TT. A little pricer but have hung in for 2 track days and about 20k so far. Getting a little tired now though.

E910 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 I'd also look at Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric2 (amazing tyre), Hankook Ventus S1 Evo or Toyo Proxes T1 Sport. Any of these will be far superior to the Kumho you have one the front. The Bridgestone Potenza RE002 is also worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlockyou Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 i'd say michelin pss or ps3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyo Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 As Sherlock said, definitely Michelin Pilot Sport 3 or Super Sport 3, Tires of the Year 2011 by Wheel's magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatjoez Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 So you guys recommend the Pilot Sport 2 over Kumho KU31? KU31 is about $219 for 235/40 so it seems they are similarly priced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KU31 is about $219 for 235/40 so it seems they are similarly priced IMHO, I rate Michelin over Kumho in a heartbeat. KU31 is not a bad tyre, but too noise for my like. Pilot Sport 3 is just superior, but not sure about Pilot Sport 2 tho. If you are in Sydney, call St. George Tyres or Taleb Tyres for good price.

sherlockyou Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 the BMW M5 come with Michelin PSS, so if after a good tire, that is the best... however, if looking at more budget ones..KU31 is a good choice.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E910 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 KU31 rated last in EVO's 2010 test. PS2 was 4th due to its poor aquaplaning results but fastest in the dry. http://www.tyrerevie...D-Tyre-Test.htm From my personal experience with other Kumho tyres, they're ok in the dry & shocking in the wet. I've got F1 A2 on my Altezza & they're amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
