My Michelin Pilot Sports (225/50 ZR17) have served me well, but are more than ready for retirement. I paid about $1,100.00 for this set-up and really need to save some clams this time around. I live down in Florida, so I have no concerns about snow ratings, but I do place an emphasis on cornering and wet traction. I would be extremely reluctant to go back to Potenzas, but, like I said, I don't really think I need to step up to the Pilot Sports again. Any recommendations &/or personal experiences are much appreciated. Thanks!

 

Not all potenzas are bad, just the RE92s.

For extreme cornering it's hard to compete with a Potenza SO-3, or for more treadwear a Potenza RE750. But your best bet is to compare them here:

Check out the Yokohama AVS sport, or the Kumho ECSTA KH11

 

What are your opinions on the Falkens that have recently been recommended on this forum?

 

Ziek 512s? Good all season performance tires.

 

Thanks. I'll research the others that were mentioned, but I'm happy with the 512's pricing.

 

good tires for what it's worth
