Guys, i am really curious about what other tires besides PS2s work well. I have decided that I want a change, and those tires are SO damn expensive, there HAS to be other stuff out there that's good...I actually preferred my original Pilot Sports to these PS2s.

I am ordering a set of OZ Ultraleggera 19x8.5 and 19x11 black wheels, and i want to run a 245/35/19 and 305/30/19 tire setup. I have been seeing very good feedback about the Nitto Invo's, but I want to hear from Porsche guys, not subaru or mazda6 drivers...totally different dynamics.

What tires do you guys run that you like for street/everyday tires? I have a designated track setup, so these will NOT see track use OR snow/ice.
Looking forward to everyone's input. I know Dave997S started a thread, and there were a couple guys who mentioned the Invos and RE055s.
Thanks!!

for everyday i love my INVO, they would not work on the track imo but are comfortable,quiet, 8/10 in the rain and look good too.. very affordable as well..

i run 245/305 and they are same width as my 235/295 stock tires because they run a lil diff

Thanks! I was originally considering the 555s, but they don't run in a 305/35, so that only leaves the INVO...my other option was a yokohoma, I bought a set of those for my dad's 7 series to replace a busted pilot sport, and I like those...super quiet and compliant ride. I haven't had a chance to push his car yet since putting them on, so I don't know how well they'll take to stress...

limited options..

yeah, i just realized the Yoko S-drives only go up to that size when i ran a tirerack search. i don't like continental tires, i don't think i'd trust falkens (although I haven't seen or read any good/bad feedback about them on the forum), and i definitely won't buy hankook.

Toyo R888s. I went to them after... awww... maybe 8 sets of MPSC. Substantially better grip, better communication through the steering wheel, not greasy when broken in (as the MPSCs are), and somehow wear evenly, despite my -3 degrees of camber.
