New tires

Just bought a new 2019 1SS 1LE and I am looking to get a new set of tires that can be driven in all conditions.(not snow). This is a daily driver for me. My tires have 400 miles on them, just brought it home on Saturday 2/22/20. Anybody interested in buying a new set?

The choices are limited in that size, seeing where you live if you're not interested in maintaining separate winter/summer tires/rims you'll want all season tires. The PS4S are great tires and will work well into the mid 40's, you do not want to expose them to freezing temps as the compound can crack. Bridgestone makes the RE980AS in a 305/30-20 and a 295/30-20 (will fit, stock is 285). I have both, the 4S on the OEM rims and the 980's on MMR Z28 knock offs for the cold season. The RE980's are not a bad all around tire, give them a 1K miles to scrub in and soften up, when new they flat spot like no other, this will improve over time.

I purchased a 19 1LE a couple of weeks ago and put Michelin A/S 3+'s on all 4 corners. Factory size in the front, 285/35/20 in the rear. The rears look a tiny bit stretched, but they have been great in the rain and the cold....And the dry back roads.....

It depends. I would say PS4S would likely be the best option if your pockets are deep. Also Bridgestone, Continental, and Pirelli make comparable tires even if their reputation isn't what the Michelins are.

If your pockets are a little shallow then Nitto 555 G2's are a good option for a DD tire. No they won't grip like the factory GY's. They're a summer performance tire that you can get 30K+ miles out of, that's made to work well at everything, but excel at nothing. They're good in all conditions other than snow or ice, they handle decently, they hook well for a street tire that's not near R compound. You have to know what you're getting though. If you're used to highend, grippy tires that won't even give you 5 figure mileage then these aren't them. People often go from DR's or RR oriented tire to 555's to get a fair priced tire that will give them decent mileage and work well in the rain and cold, and then act like they're the worst tire ever because they won't grip in ideal conditions the same way a much stickier tire will.

What is all conditions, not snow, mean to you?



The SC3 is that tire so I'm confused. Confused too why some one buys a 45K track car and put's an A/S on it for D/D year round. Tracking the car is immaterial in that regard.

I've the same set-up as you (rears at 285/35/20) and I like these better than stock size due to a thicker sidewall.

The A/S 3+ tires are simply amazing.

I got the RE980AS in 295/30-20 and 305/30-20 on my SS/1LE & love 'em. Can drive all winter and not worry about cold temps.

I agree, I'm running the Nitto's now and they perform perfectly for a daily. I wouldn't say they're great in the rain but they work none the less, and don't give you a huge pucker factor like the GY might. G2's are great for the price. Think I'm going to the PS4's after these tires.
