Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. Only non-track tire worth buying IMO. They make the stock Gallardo sizes.

Pirelli, Michelin, Bridgestone, or Conti. Need help finding sizes?

Get the new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires. They are amazing. I love the PS2's as well, but the new Sport Cups are far superior. My cousin just got them for his Turbo, and they come standard on the GT3-RS. Amazing tires. http://www.michelinman.com:80/tires/...lot-sport-cup/

... so long as it doesn't rain, yes. If it does, they'll be picking what's left up with tweezers. PS2's let you go fast even in the wet.

i highly reccomend the Pirellis.... The PS2s are great tires but problem is that the thick sidewall sometimes just makes the car and wheels look funny...

PM me if anyone has any questions on tires as well as pricing/avail

????
If the tire size is correct then the sidewall would be the same height on both the Pirelli and Michelin.

Could be problematic for some. Although I have not had any problems driving them in the rain. Sufficient grip, and the rewards of dry grip are great.

The six times I have run Yokohama I have had sidewall failures on at least one of the four tires.

PS2's are the best on the market right now.

I run the PS2 on my M3, they're great. Amazing tire in all weather, although I do watch myself a little more in the rain. When its dry and they heat up, they are soooo sticky.
