Love the Super Sports on all my cars!

 

I just put a set of Hankook Evo's and I'm quite happy with them. Good grip at speed and in corners. Had used Pilot SS but the pricing was just way too high and saved about $ 800.00.

Ride is good and they are very quiet for now...when tread wears we will see how much noise they produce.

 

As an all-season tire, I went with the Continental Extreme Contract DWS on my C63. The ratings in snow/ice are better than the Michelin, but the Michelin has better wet/dry ratings: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...jsp?type=UHPAS

 

Im currently running Michelin ps2 and very happy

 

We have a set of Hancooks on one of our daily drivers. Really nice tire. Good long tire wear, grippy and quiet.

 

Do you want Performance or Value. For performance, I've had Pilot Sports and P-Zeros (on different 911's) and I like the Michelin's a bit more. The P-Zero's are, like people have said, a bit noisier but, to be honest, I couldn't tell much difference on the Track between the two (but I'm not the best or quickest driver). The two being almost even in my mind, I lean towards the Michelin because they make an outstanding Bicycle tire.

For value, the Bridgestone RE050A was a tire a loved. Not as great for the track as the Micheleine's or Pirelli's but insofar as bang for the buck they were outstanding. I also tried a set of Sumitomo's and had a bad experience with them. I'm sure they are fine tires, maybe I just had a bad set but I won't use them again.

 

The hankook's are an excellent budget tire.

 

My GT3 came with a set of RE11's and they are so much better the the PS2's, which I thought were marginally better then the PZer Nero. The RE11's have been great in the wet (and we get more then our fair share of rain here).

 

Based on a full set on tire rack of the Michelin super sport running $100 more than an identical set in the RE50A, along with the far better wear rating...I would think the Michelin SSs are the better buy, unless you guys are seeing a much bigger difference between the two sets?

 

Let us hear how is goes with DWS.

My experience in the past with Continental DWS (M3) is that they become extremely loud and very rough riding after you break them in.

 

Thought I should add my .02.

I have Continental DW in the front and DWS in the rear. The reason is I can't find DWS anywhere I was looking for them. At any case, I love my tires. It's quiet, plenty of grip and last for long time. I tried my tires in the past, including Pilot Sport ps2, Pirellli P Zero and even Vredstein Sessanta. I think if I had to do it again, I would still go w/ Continentals.

I don't race or do any type track. So I can't really speak for that, but for every day spirited driving, it's perfect. I turn fast every chance I get and this tires still hasn't failed me. Plus they are very affordable.

 

This is good news! Thanks.

 

Actually, they do seem somewhat loud and rough riding. Not extreme, but it's noticeable enough that I would consider trying a different all-season next time.

 

Glad I could help!....awesome color 911 you have there

 

Just switched to Michelin PSS from PS2s about 400 miles ago. I think that the PSS offer better grip (although I really haven't pushed them......yet).
