I need new tires and I’ve been debating the merits of sticking with the stock low grip setup or going with something sticky. I love how easy the car is to play with on the limits of traction now, but I also wonder how it would feel on sticky tires. What do you think Mike?

it's not even fair to compare the GT3 to a BRZ. they're not in the same class for anything at all except maybe both are 2 door cars. |

I enjoyed the shit tires and sliding around and when first going to real tires I sort of missed the sliding around. Once you find the new limits of real tires you will not miss the sliding around as much anymore. I for sure would take real tires over shit tires. In a perfect world I would be able to press a button to slap banana peels on my tires. Hahaha |

Michelin Pilot Super Sports are great tires, but they're nowhere close to the performance level of Cup 2s (what comes on a GT3 RS).

The really hilarious thing is that the S4s are $30 per corner cheaper than the stock tires. I think I’ll probably change it up.

Are they overkill for the BRZ/86 though? I've often wondered about them, but I've also heard tread wear is pretty bad. I'm guessing good for the track and not so much the street?

The Cup2's are also $280 for a 225/45/17. They have a 180tw but those numbers are sort of useless for determining actual treadwear. For DD I've had 180tw tires outlast 200tw tires.
