invo is ugly and they don't make a 325 25 20, so pzero nero is where you should spend your dinero... ps2 = way to boxy of a look

I am happy with my Bridgestone RE050 A. Tucker Tires in Mission Viejo can get them for you. I recently paid $325 out the door for each tire. Size 295x30x19. I am happy to save $ !!!

How loud are the Bridgestones? Have you ever had the Pirelli Zero's to compare to? I just find the noise of my Zeros a bit wearing on a long run. Especially on our Alberta roads, not quite as smooth as some.

sorry about the late reply. here is the link http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com

Their main warehouse / display showroom is in Anaheim area here in so. Cali. its really close to Irvine so I called ahead, placed an order and next day went there and they put them on for me in 15 minutes. Not too shabby. Great service.

PS2 are great but expensive. If you want to save some money, then get the Bridgestones RE050.

Thanks for that hformrace1, I'll give them a call and see if they will deliver to Canada.

I pretty much swear by PS2- Expensive yes but you're paying for the best. I'm hearing more and more good things about the Vredesteins though- Might be worth a try-out at some time given the price. I'd love to see a real-life comparison done on PS2 vs. Vredestein (track & street).

Thanks p0rsch3, I'm still considering the PS2's too. Have you ever had P Zero's on your car? If so, how does the road noise compare?

I don't like the Pzero tires- they are noisy and I tended to lose rear cornering traction with them if my suspension was set too stiff. The PS2's just stick like mad.

Yes my Pzero's are way too noisy, they seem especially so as they get older. But that's my only gripe, I've never lost traction (without trying to) but then again I've not tracked it yet.

I had P-Zero's on my car and my biggest complaint about them besides the noise was the flat spotting, even just sitting overnight.

I now have PS2's and I am very satisfied.

I haven't noticed any flat spotting and mine sits in the garage for weeks. But it is really the noise that i'm trying to lose. It has really become worse as they have got more worn. Now it is particularly noticeable when lifting off and coasting at 20-40 mph. At least I hope it's the tyres or I'm in need of a bearing or two!!
