Wow, tires are the difference

So when I purchased my car, it had ps2s on, but the rears were completely shot (while the fronts had almost 90% tread :shifty

. It was fun driving around, breaking traction like I had 600hp, but I finally got some new rear ps2s on the car and

I am in love again!

So much more confidence inspiring and planted, this car is a gokart!

Just thought I'd share :rofl , don't skimp on tires on this car, it deserves better!

Agreed - PS2s really raise the level of this car's grip and handling. If they'd been standard on the Z4M press cars history would tell a different tale.

Did you consider the Hankook Ventus. Rated higher and at a lot less $$.

Picked up two rear ps2s for wayyyy less than retail haha, otherwise i was looking at invos or star specs

Okay, so you're running bigger rubber.

I can understand why you're saying that. I have first hand experience although not by my choice.

I missed the "rear tires" part in the first post. It wasn't my intent to suggest mixing them up.

The OP mentions in the next post he would consider other brands of tires and is the one doing the buying.
