Tire Help
I got a huge gash on one of my rear tires for the '01 TT and now am thinking of replacing all four.
I currently have Pirelli P Zeros but am not too happy with the road noise.
Would like to get collective experience and choose a good tire with a better road noise rating. I do not track the car....the tires are purely for road driving.
Any recommendations would be extremely helpful....
BTW the current tires/rims are Original stock sizes:
295 30 ZR 18 - Rear
225 40 ZR 18 - Front

From what I heard, the Yoko Neovas seem to have a very hard ride...Is that true?
Also, any comments about the following tires:
1. Bridgestone S-02A
2. Continental ContiSportContact2
3. Michelin PilotSportRib
and how they compare to the Yoko Neovas?

The proper sizes for Michelin PS2 N-Rated are:
235/40-18 Front
315/30-18 Back
These fit on the Stock Turbo Twist wheels and they have been great on my car. I recently did 110 laps of a 2-mile course and the tires held up great and handled VERY well.
- S-02A's are also very good, but they won't last as long as the PS2's.
- Pilot Sport Rib is old school and had been replaced by the PS2 as Michelin's best street tire.
- Continental is a brand I try to stay away from, but it seems every car I buy comes with them from the factory! LOL

Just spoke to Tire Rack and they recommended the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position tires for my requirements.
Anybody have any experience with these tires and how they compare with the PS2s or others?

The PS2s were the other option just a lot more expensive and Tire Rack said that the performance/handling/noise spec on the Bridgestone is very similar.

Call me, I'd be glad to help.

There is no denying the MPS2's are phenominal.........its just a matter of spending the $$$$ over the RE050A's.
