    I was considering going with the Pirelli's, but was wondering what others were using instead of spending $300 per tire.

    There are a couple of good threads on tires in this section. I'm running Nitto Invo's on challenge wheels. I do a mix of street and track and I'm very pleased with them.

    I was comparing on tire rack and it seems that anything other than the OE Pzero say that they have a different load rating which will result in a harsher ride.

    Michelin PS2 is one of the best if not the best right now. Only issue is if you do a lot of high speed track time, the fronts will wear quickly.

    But overall, if you research it, you will find that for grip in dry and wet, cornering, ride comfort, quietness, and normal wear, the PS2 is hard to beat.

    I don't know about the 360 but the PS2 is an OEM tire for the 430 and of the three OEM tires available, they are far and away the best, in my experience.

    I'm sure I'll figure this out when I talk to my tire shop, but wouldn't you want the same tires/tread pattern on all 4 wheels?

    I had two sets of Pirellis on my 430 and now PS2's. They are both really good tires and it would be hard to tell the difference in a blind fold test but the PS2's are lasting a lot longer.

    Hey guys, I bought the Hankook Evo V12 for the 360. Ended up being about $540 from discounttire.com. Had them mounted and they seem to be great so far. I have had them for about a week and so far so good.

    Looking at putting on new rubber on my 01 360. I saw these and figured I'd ask the group; FIREHAWK INDY 500 Front 215/45R18 93W XL and Rear 275/40R18 99W. Very high 5 Star rating on TireRack.com Thoughts?
