I tired pirelli and hated them and went back to PS2.

well times are tough and I do not have so much disposable income, so I went for:
2 235/40ZR-18 Sumitomo HTR Z III XL In Stock $109.00 $218.00
2 275/35ZR-18 Sumitomo HTR Z III In Stock $179.00 $358.00

total cost 627 with shipping from tire rack.

I must say these tires grip, stick, sound, feel, wet traction, and corner the same as the PS2. I have four tires for the cost of 1 and1/2 rear PS2s.

PS I dont track the car, but I do drive aggressively

Just my thoughts

And they'll last 2x longer!

I have to agree that for the price I love my HTR ZIII's. Yeah they are not DotR's but I have a race car to feed race tires.

Not only were they cheap to buy but I also got them mounted and balanced for $60!

I was in about $1200 for wheels, tires mounted and balanced. I could have spent that just on replacement Conti's or PS2's or Bridgestones.

I'm on my 3'rd set of Kumho Exsta SPT's and still love them. Great ratings, very good wet traction, stick like glue, not too loud, 2 sets of rears to 1 set of fronts, and this Spring a full set cost me $560.00 on the car. BTW I drive fairly aggressively and still get 12k to a set of rears ( wear bar shows , they go ) Ed
