HI PSI Member 1,582 Member For: 18y 4m 23d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 18/06/24 07:49 AM Share Posted 18/06/24 07:49 AM End of financial year is fast approaching and I am looking to guy a new set of tyres (19/30/285 & 245/35/19). As I am running reasonable power (900+ rwhp), I am chasing as much grip as I can manage. I am current some Pilot Sports. I have been "out of the loop" for some time, so I am chasing advice on any others that may compare. Thanks in advance for the replies..

Im not sure many tires will hold that power. I have a pair of new 245 pilot sport cup 2 tires for rear in my shed, they were $730 each, I was gonna try them at the drags but havnt used them yet. Kevspec on youtube did a 10 sec quarter on them with 500rwkw. So I thought id try them, I have 440rwkw on 98 octane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite impressed. Any track guys make a recommendation On 18/06/2024 at 6:09 PM, Slowxr6t said: Only 900rwhp, that sounds like pretty reasonable power to me lol, youre a humble dude Brad.

Tom Tucker Donating Members 661 Member For: 5y 3m 17d Posted 21/06/24 11:44 PM Share Posted 21/06/24 11:44 PM I've got Zestino Gredge 07RS 140TW. 245 fronts, 285 rears. They get my 800whp down sometimes, but being 140TW the wear is savage. I think I'll try PS4 S next. Better treadwear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front end grip is superb, will oversteer before understeer. Rears can grip in dry 450rwkw manual on the straight, but only when warm. I do have upgraded driveline and diff though. R888R is a bit better on rear for dry straight line grip, but for a predominantly street car is way too noisy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
