There are many, many threads on this on the forum and you should search them.

My box wears Michelin PS2's, and these are considered to be very good tires for our cars. However, there's a LOT of opinions about rubber and oil viscosity on this forum.

You, my new friend, have opened up a pandoras box!

My advice? Check your budget and realize rear tires last 7500-12000 miles or so. If you only have about $500 or so to spend, the Sumitomo HRTZ III's are a good tire for the money. If you have $1300 to spend, you can buy PS2's or other top of the pile tread.

Pirellis wear very fast, but are soft and sticky for cornering, by the way.

I've had Kumhos and others swear by them but I found them to be out of round and noisy after just a few thousand miles.

Let the games begin... others will probably disagree with some or all of what I've shared with you.
