I'm currently running Pirelli P Zero's 275/40 ZR20 rears And 245/45 ZR20's in the front. Not sure if I should get Pirelli's again or go with something else. I looked on tirerack and they are offering Pirelli,Continental, Firestone and Hankook. Anyone know much about these brands? Tread wear vs grip vs noise, etc? TIA.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

Some of the best performance tires out there.

Somewhat aggressive. Probably between average and spirited (to use tirerack terms). I don't cut donuts in empty parking lots though.

Great tires. I just put them on in December and couldn't be happier.

I got some Goodyear tires on my car when I swapped out the OEM tires. Worst tires I've ever had. Steering wheel now vibrates at highway speed and after 5 trips back to the shop couldn't find anything wrong. Tread wear is great though so I've had them on for 60k and probably get another 40k out of them.

Put some Bridgestone tires on my wife's Highlander and they ride like OEM Toyo tires but better tread life. Toyo tires only lasted 35k.

They will be in the upper range ($1000+), but they're well worth it for sports cars.

Continental Extreme Contacts are also good tires for a good price.

I like Michelin Pilot Sport or Super Sport, however, I found I got about 5,000 more miles with the A/S (all season) tires. I smoke through tires as I drive very hard and do about 70k miles a year. I buy tires every 5 months.

The last set I put on the S7 were Dunlop. With installation they were about $2100. They are the best I have had yet.

I also had Yokohamas on the A7 and they were meh.

Dunlop SP SportMaxx GT 600s. Upper echelon of aggro summer tires. They're the OEM tires on the Nissan GTR, FWIW.

Tires need to be balanced??? If they say no, I would take it to another shop for a second opinion.

Discount Tire Direct bruh. No shipping or tax. You do know Tirerack charges tax for Louisiana residents on online orders right?

Buddy of mine has been running Nittos for quite a while now. Car will hook pretty good. Btw,if you ever see this car on the streets of BR,don't try it.

Contis if they have the right size

I had a gto with 460 rwhp and these are the best street tires I could find.

The nitto drag radials worked good but only lasted 12k miles but if your not extremely modded you would be very happy with the contis
