Good to know

What tires you running now?

[Clipdat]

Bridgestone Potenza RE71R and they are insane and amazing. Highly recommended.

Will definitely check them out as soon as these wear out.

And I run dedicated wheels and tires for all racing events: so those are just street miles. I have run other sets in that 75,000 miles as well. I like the PSS the best for a street tire: but if you drive the car "hard" (properly) ALL THE TIME on them they can burn off in under 13,000 miles. That's the only reason I suggest hardier tires like the Indy 500 to people who don't need 100% performance 100% of the time.

Though the PSS are warrantied for 30K miles, so burning them off that fast means they get prorated and replaced.

Just switched to them after finally burning off the stockers in 35K miles, and I dunno why I didn't just do it sooner. They really are that good

ONLY downside I've found is they're definitely louder than the stockers, but I have a catback that drowns it out. Any high performance tire is going to make more road noise though, so it's a moot issue.

Bahahaha road noise, that's hysterical! Try some NT01's and then you'll have some real perspective! So loud.
SO.
LOUD.
PSS are pretty quiet for daily tires though.

Haha, RE71Rs have a distinct howl to them as well!

Yeah for real! Even the RE11A's that preceded the RE71R's had a noticeable whirring noise. Pilot Super Sports make effectively no noise compared to the grippier tires available for street use... and the noise (that I honestly never noticed, even when they were my FIRST mod) is little-to-nothing compared to the immense driving pleasure that they facilitate.

OP let us know what you end up mounting, I think a lot of us would be curious about what your choice and impressions, of said choice, are. @Flame9020

Regarding the Firestone Firehawk, did you have the new version, or the older "wide oval" version?

Older wide oval vs new version

OP do not get Bridgestone Re71r's. Yes they are an amazing tire, but a complete waste for daily driving. And you will be pissed when you need new tires in less than 10k miles. I have a set specifically for autoX that I swap on the day of, then take them off that night.


I currently have MPSS as my daily. They are great, no complaints what so ever. Great in the dry and even better in the Rain. However; I will be switching to Bridgestone SO4-PP's for my next daily tire. 80% of the performance for the Micheline's for a much better price.

[Clipdat]

I had the ones on the right, the new version.

True as hell, so far it's the only real noticeable issue (as well as rocks and debris hitting the wheel wells more often)

Still nothing compared to my first vehicle, 31" offroad tires are terribly loud...
