Here's the current specs: (all OEM)

Front - 8.5J x 19” Bridgestone Potenza 235/40 ZR19
Rear - 9.5J x 19” Bridgestone Potenza 275/35 ZR19

(I would like to stay with the same Rims, not interesting in changing them)


I personally know squad about sizing of tires to make any kind of educated choice for alternative options. If I stay with the exact OEM size, all I can find are the Potenza RE050's.


What I would like out of a tire option:
Looking for a great summer performance tire, a few track days, 15k life span is acceptable, very occasionally wet weather, most of my driving would be mix of city & HWY.

I like the reviews of the Bridgestone Potenza RE-11, but not sure if they'll work for me.

Some of the tire calculators online say that I'm fine if I stay within 3% of the diameter. These are some of the results it spat out:


Current OEM
235/40 ZR19 Front

RE -11 Options for Front:
235/35R19 Diameter Difference: 3.53%
245/35R19 Diameter Difference: 2.47%


Current OEM
275/35 ZR19 Rear

RE -11 Options for Rear:
275/30R19 Diameter Difference: 4.07%
285/35R19 Diameter Difference: 1.05%


Would appreciate any input current owners might have in terms of this tire, other tires you would suggest and sizing options.


Thanks!

 

If say RE-11s as they are my current street tire and work very well.

Also look into the new Michelin Super Sports

 

PS2s or the new super sports, depending on how much rain the car will see.

 

JC919 has my vote. I'm running RE-11s this summer for daily and track duty. Should do 15k miles and 4-8 track days.

The super sports do look awesome as well for the same price and probably lasting a little longer.

My last vote would goto Yokohama AD08s which get great reviews from tire rack as well as a track/street tire.
