    The OEM 235/40, 295/35 does not have a lot of options.

    I am curious what everyone is running and their feedback.

    Namely, I worry the Continentals (Extremecontact sports) may be too soft (my experience with them on 2 other cars), and the Bridgestones (RE050A) may be too hard. I avoid Michelin PS2 every since I had a poor experience with them on several high torque V12s.

    Hmm, has anyone run 245/40/18 in the front with the OEM 295/35 rear? Any issues with fender clearance/rubbing/contact? That way I could run Michelin Supersports...

    (yes I searched; looks like some people ran them on a standard TR but no 512TR direct experience. One person a Testarossa reported some issue with the sidewalls being too tall)

    Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 295/35R18 PS2 235/40R18

    Very very quiet and smooth ..be careful ..easily get flat spots if not moved even for a short period

    Thanks for the info! That's the same issue I have with the Continentals.
