got it. not sure how tire choices are abroad but if they are worse tha here? that's a problem!


just dont ever use hankook v12'! it's the "wrexham lager" of tires

add/edit need rears. hung up w TR. they have very few options. sucks. michis ( solid ) with a price to match! 540 per. ouch.
pirelli p zeros asyms liked em, and wore about the same rate theyre 407 each so only went up 8 bucks in two weeks. what global inflation!?. although i'm even running without the viscous coupler in front not a fan of mix/matching tires but one of us HAS to try the goodrich g-force..

at 347 each! probably the best deal of the lot.

Just ordered 2 pc Michelin PS2 295/30-18 N3 from them yesterday as they got them in stock. I have been looking for them a while now, and was very happy when they got them in stock I believed they was discontinued until I found them there...

Everyone says they're discontinued. Old stock perhaps? What's shipping from Norway cost?

315/30/18 STILL is B/O @ TR, and the new ones are N4. N3 IS old stock, not that it'll matter much.

It may be old stock, but I have not got them yet. Will post production month and year when they arrive.
Regarding shipping I dont know, as the price is including shipping. Btw it seems like they ship from Germany.

I switched the rears from R888's to Hoosier A6's. The Hoosiers are quieter and have much more traction. Wet behavior is the same. Crappy. However, the A6's seem better on damp roads. Go figure.

Did you notice that squirely side to side feeling on the R888s under hard acceleration and turning? Do hte Hoosier A6s have that same feeling?

I noticed the side to side when tire pressure was in the high side and when the tires were worn.

The A6's do not get squirrelly.

I'll play with air pressure once I get my car back on the road in a week or so. I noticed it instantly as soon as the tires were on the car and I went for a spirited drive.

The PS2 295/30-18 N3 tires arrived today, and they are produced 2115 which means they are produced week 21, year 2015, so they are not old stocks
