PZero Nero or Pilot Sport PS2

i had the pirellis. They were the first real performance tire i used. I switched to the eagle f1s gs-d3 or something. The ones with the arrows for tread like the f1 rain tires. I am extremely happy with them. The car feels much more stable with them and are incredible in the wet and dry. This is stupid, i know, but at 100+mph it feels like its on rails. Granted i dont have the suspension the car came with, but they are great. They corner like no 2moro.

I also have a good opinion of BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD - but they save you only about $10 per tire, and from the first little bits I've heard, the monster tire to look for this year might be the Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD07... You might want to check this review which compares those three...

I personally havn't touched a car with the AD07's yet, and they are priced the same as the Michelin PS2's... So, this isn't a full endorsement, just a "keep an eye on them"...

For my money - Bang for buck summer tire, can't beat the Kumho MX's... They are on the car now.

P.S. - If you don't want to keep the OE size - that changes things a bit... The short list:

Cheapest tire that still actually works well: Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212
The best performing street tire in the dry, period: Falken Azenis Rt615

After buying tires for this year, I had someone tell me that diameter wise the Falken 615's in 255/40r17 actually run about the same size as other tires in 245/40r17... So, if I was buying now, I'd look to confirm that, and if true - I'd probably have the falkens. BTW, they also have a little bit of a numb turn in feeling, but it doesn't alter the performance, just makes things a little strange for the driver. FWIW.
