Tires Matching (Front/Rear)

[jwilson95]

Definitely go with the same all around no matter what your choice.

I will give a +1 vote for the PZero Pirelli 18's. Great dry traction and dont' drive it in the wet, so that doesn't matter to me. It is a pleasure car, not daily driver.

You should probably find a good compromise if you are going to drive it regularly in QC.

Send us down some Molson XXX please!

When I bought my Boxster, it had near used Michelin Pilot Sport Ribs, which I then switched to Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3s on all four tyres as there was a offer for 4 tyres for the price of 3.

The Pilot Sport was gave me giddy thrills every time I went through a corner at high speed and it was extremely responsive to steering inputs.

After getting the GSD3s, I didn't get those giddy thrills much anymore and they feel blunt in terms of precision and accuracy. The grip levels are still good, but the difference is like having a sharp and blunt knife between the two tyre models. So for daily driving, it should satisfy enough, but if you are into precision and feedback, go with the Pilot Sport.

As for longevity with the GSD3s, I've used mine for 17,500 kms and my rears need changing. The fronts may last another 5,000 -7,000 kms. I do drive my car purely for windy roads and have done 3 track days, a skidpan day and a motorkhana (autocross) day using the GSD3s.
