Right now Bridgestone Potenza S-03's, 255 40ZR17.
Right now, I feel compelled to weigh in on this even though you didn't ask for opinions Jason.

I apologize up front for that.

But dude, you are serious about all aspects of your car. Why skimp on tires? I don't understand the S03 thing with everyone. They are not sticky enough. Not to mention, you have 17's so why not RE050's . Yes, you live in an area where there is a lot of rain. That is the only reason I can think of for your S03 choice.

For Street Tires, I would choose, in the following order:

ADVAN A032/048's
TOYO RA1's -- maybe the Toyo's over the Advans simply based on mileage and avail.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cups
RE050/S02's
Falken Azenis

Jason, your thoughts?

I just based my tire choice off recommendations from others. :shrugsshoulders: Rain performance isn't an issue, I have another car so the S stays home on rainy days. And I'm pretty easy on my car, the S03's provide plenty of grip for my driving style. Plus they're made in Japan (like my car and half of me ) have a cool tread pattern and "S-03 Pole Position" has a nice ring to it.
