Supraleeturbo Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Anyone running these that can shine some light ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike33 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I used Mitchelin on my mr2 turbo and my old vectra gsi! Bloody good tyres!! They are quite a soft compound so if you use them to the max they sometimes need changing after a short amount of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 R35 GTR guys love them, maybe the top rated tyre for that chassis, Cant be that bad. Ive been doing some reading about tyres as I need some too, Continental contisportcontact 5 get some great reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max5437 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Although im N/A so a huge power difference i love the contacts 5 on mine, grip is 10x what its ran previously and great in the corners, find they are great in the wet too though the lower power is no doubt a factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I run them. Great tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 You wont go wrong with the Super sports , going to get them next ; I know alot of people running them who give them the thumbs up, plus a high percentage of OEM flagship Models are shipped with them Good Year Asymmetric 2, excellent tyre too , Asymmetric 3 should be out soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binfieldx Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I've just had all my nangkangs swapped to Pilot SS so I will update with the new traction details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think the Michelin Pilot range are incredible tyres. The Super Sports are probably the best all round tyre you can buy. The Cup2 variant, though, is just incredible. It doesn't have the wet-weather/damp performance of the Super Sport, but the dry grip and ability to be very progressive makes it a quality fast road/track tyre.

JackyBoi Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I have 295/35/19 Pilot Super Sports on my Supra and I love them! Holds traction really well albeit on 1.2 bar below 5.5k RPM. In the rain it spins in 1st and 2nd but even in mild damp conditions I was surprised how well they hold. Well worth the price tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Mate, just stick a set of pilot sport 2s on the front and a set of 888s on the back. Won't go wrong with that for grip....plus it will make you a better driver when it rains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 That's what I have atm and they just light up I'm running 295 Probably due to all the burnouts you do and there's no tread left . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel4781 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The super sports are great tires!!. However i couldn't find them in 295/30x18 tho. So i ended up putting some ps2's on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
