re tires

Since the pilot sp2's aren't made in 285's yet, it seems the bfg's are the best for dry perfromance, not so great in wet but this is california so who cares so much. It's either those or the so2's for the max dry traction anyone have any experience with those bfg's? I might just try them out, or go for 295's in rear again as that is what I was running with the pirrelli 140 tread wear rating stickies. thanks.

Sean, You've got to be kidding me. The S-02 doesn't even compare with tires like the PS2 (?) and the BFG g-Force KD. At the very least, you should try the S-02A's. Now, that is a great tire for your car but likely slightly less sticky than the KD's. But, at least, they won�t be as noisy. LOL! As to the PS2, I am more and more inclined to believe that, even though they may be a great tire, their performance on the GT3 is exemplary, to say the least, likely because of the suspension tuning on that car. I just find it hard to believe that a tire with a 220 tread wear rating can be this good. I know these ratings mean very little, but... Anyway, I am dieing to hear how the PS2�s perform on a car other than the GT3.

Well I think I am going to get another set of the 295's then for the rear of my 996 and will let you know. I ended up getting them for the 993tt but the body work isn't done yet. That will be interesting to see how it works with the pss9's and the trg rear sway-

Sean, Are you going for the 235's in front? That's what I would do if you have an 8.5" wheel or bigger.

I did on the 993tt. I am debating whether to swap rims to do the same

I am very torn whether to go fo new rims and do the sp2's or just try those bfg's for a bit as I might sell the car and get something else. I am leaning toward the latter given the ill consequence.
