Tire Choices
Hey guys,
I need new tires really BAD right now for my SS! I know there's several choices out there. But I'm leaning towards the OEM Pirelli Pzero's or the Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 and I can't decide. I'm hoping to get someone's experience at this forum with both. I know Pzero's are great tires but expensive and they wear quickly. I've been hearing a lot of good things about Hankook V12. I read online that the Hankook V12's have a quieter ride and better wet traction over the Pzero's. However, the Pzero's outperformed Hankook's on dry and all the other areas like braking, cornering, etc. Did I mention the Pirelli's are $188 more for the set. lol What does everyone think??? I appreciate the feedback!

There was a comparison of 10 or so models a few months ago in Car and Driver (I believe) and the Pzero's (as good as they are) were at the bottom of the list.

I have the Hankook Ventus V12 evo 110s and they're definitely better than the Pirellis. I've run 3 track events on them and they handle very well. The only complaint I have with them is they're a bit soft feeling on turn-in when going into a corner, otherwise they grip like crazy and are holding up well as far as wear. They are indeed quieter than the Pirellis as well as being cheaper.

BF Goodrich Comp-2's. They rock. Very good in wet and dry and have a better wear rating.

They are noisy as hell. They don't grip at all and wear out very quick.

BFG's grip like a mofo, 47 F out the other morning traction control off and she just took off. No spinning. The G-Maxs would spin. The Hankooks would spin more than the G-Maxs. I know 49K miles and 5 sets of rear tires.

I agree go back to the OEM Pirellis or go with the BFG Comp 2 as best options.

Are they going to roll out more sizes in the bfg? I am a bfg fan but they don't ever seem to make my sizes.

 ExtremeContact DWS.They are quite expensive but if they last a long time and work well as they claim, they may be worth it?? Thanks Randall |
