damon@tirerack has a reputation beyond repute

For the combo, all we carry is the Sport Contact 2, Pirelli Rosso, and the PS2. Of the 3, only the PS2 is in stock, and has been the most popular among your peers. If it were my car I'd buy the PS2 as well. Pirellis and Contis have been good too, but for the money the PS2 is the best bang for the buck.

The 245 VMax won't hit our shores till later this year. It's still going through DOT approval. We already have the 315's in stock.

For those unfamiliar, it's going to be the first tire approved for 200mph+ sustained (aka "Ludicrious Speed"!) It's rated "Z" because the don't have a speed rating above "Y" (186) yet.

How well do they hold up tread-wise? Will they last more than 6000 miles? Perhaps 10k on the rears?
