Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position S03
Michelin Pilot Sport (or Pilot Sport A/S) <-- what's the difference?
Nitto 555 drag radial/street radial (there's 2 kinds)
Nitto 450 Extreme Performance (is this one worth comparing with the rest?)
Toyo Proxes T1-S

I am trying to get opinions on guys who have used those tires to give me an idea of how they compare or how they liked their tires. I believe that those tires are all in the same category and similar price range.

I am concerned mainly with
(a) stickiness of the tire
(b) wet performance (sort of relates to the first point)
(c) life of the tire

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

The S-03 gets excellent reviews, I don't think you can go wrong with Michelin, but there $$$$.

 

I'd recommend the SO3s- Tirerack is having a special on some sizes of the Pilot sports

I'll be picking up 2 275/30-19s for 224 dollars!! (something like that) cheaper than the S03s

Nitto 555s- dont compare

 

are you running the stock wheels? I got a set of dunlop SP SPORT A2's on my max. they handle very decently tread wear sucks though

 

I will be running these tires on original Japanese 16x7 SSR Type C rims.
