Tire suggestion for c4s?
I've been a Michelin pilot sport guy for a long time. So to my disappointment, the pilot sport ps2 and super sport aren't available in a 295/30/18. Anyone have any personal suggestions for this car? No track time really. Just enjoyable street driving.

Another vote for Sumi's. On my second set. Some say they're noisy, but I hate excessive road noise and these are fine by me. $300 for a set of rears is a deal in my book. Expect about 15k for street work.

I have sumi tires on the car now. They're good but they're old tires. They're ok tires. Just looking for something more aggressive. Can a 305/30/18 for on to the stock wide body turbo twists?

Another reference point to consider: I thought Sumis were awful on my C4S. I will never buy them again. I like Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s the best. It's unfortunate that you can't find them. I'm not a fan of Pirelli P-Zeros. What about Dunlops or Hankooks?

I called Michelin directly and asked about the "back order" status. They said they have stopped production of this size with no time frame of restarting them any time soon. It's a small amount of choices for this size. Sucks.

I've been thru a few sets of yoko ad08r, you can get them from discount tire direct. Best dual purpose tire out there. If you're looking for aggressive these are it. 180 tread wear rating... Close to r comp grip and can handle rain with no issues

I have a new set of Sumitomos HTR ZIII. On my previous 993, I used
the Korean tire Kuhmos. Virtually same cost as Sumitomos.
I would get between 15k and 20k a set on the rears, almost 30k on the fronts.
