As far as in the rain driving. I'm in Orlando we get more than our share of wet weather and I have used my street tires on the track on wet days.

Pole Position SO-3 prior to these I have run the SO-2 these have much better grip wet and dry. I have driven the car at speed on the track with very good results on rainy days...actually scarry how little differnece we to dry with grip....but don't get sloppy.

Getting like 15-18K on the rears (They are cooked when I replace them) and twice that much in the front.

Just put the Michelin Pilot Sport ribs on today. So far, the ride is great and they seem to handle well. I was told the Yokohama's and Bridgestones don't last as long as the Michelin's, so we will see...

I must admit though Yokohama's do have the nicest tread pattern and I thougth long and hard about putting them on.

Thanks for all of the feedback!!!

Eagle F1 GS D3s on my C2.

I've had Pilot Sport PS2s and Cont-2s, and the Eagles really are the best. Pilot Sports would be my second choice, but man these Eagles are just unbelievable. I am amazed at the grip both wet and dry. I didn't think street tires could be this good!

After having my P for 1 week...got a 5 inch screw in the left tire....so I kind of had to change both..because they weren't new....I asked around and decided to put Michelin's...front still have Pirelli's..but don't like those much..love the Michelin's...now I kind of want to go to 19"..... another pricey mod!!

www.edgeracing.com has some really good buys, but you have to arrange for your own mounting, balancing etc. From time to time they have sales that are just unbelievable, right now the spring bling sale. Np connection whatsoever, just a customer, but I have bought three sets of tires from them. None for either of my P cars, but only because I havn't needed any since I ran across the site. I've also sent at least 5 people there who bought tires and/or wheels. It is worth checking out

bridgestone S03 Pole Position and Michelin Pilot
Sport PS2 seem to be a consensus choice.

I would have to disagree. S03 is NOT a consensus choice around here (but the PS2 is). Remember the S03 is NOT a N rated tire either. If you want to go with bridgestone, the S02 and S02A are great tires (and N rated).

Maybe you win a new car from Rennlist or something. It's gotta be big though. Or maybe you go from 'Addict' to 'Jedi Master'. That would be cool.
