Just replaced OEM Conty's with Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position from TireRack.com

Day 3, and so far I'm liking them (will know better after the next 500 miles or so). Price was almost $200 (for set of four) less than the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2.

ask for brian of john and tell them anthony referred you. they'll take care of you.

they take special care for any high end wheel/tire combo.

my recomendation is the new yokohama advan ad08 if your a very sporty driver or the s.drives if you want a very decent street tire.

I just bought Kumho Ecsta XS for $950 installed (a bargain for decent high performance tires). I will abuse them on the track this Saturday and then let you know how they are....

K & E Tires in south el monte

Got Hankook Ventus V12's in stock M coupe sizes for $550

U cannot beat their prices.

They offer any name brand tires.

I got my tires from these guys too. I run the Federal 595RSR. Great tires. Have amazing dry grip and the price is unbeatable.

Let us know how they go. I was going to get some fitted on monday but opted to go with the Kumho SPT KU31 instead, just beacuse i heard the XS is terrible in the rain.

Im hoping the SPT is still a decent tire.

The Direzza Star Specs are a GREAT tire for the price. A little known tire that is gaining an awesome reputation is the Sumitomo HTR Z III. I ran these on my S2000 and was blown away by the dry and wet performance of these tires. They are phenomenal for the price!! A fraction of the cost of PS2's.
