Which are better?

CSC3 or PS2 tires. These would be 245/35/19 & 275/30/19 sizes.

Interested in hearing what people think of these....

 

Michelins.

 

+1! But you already knew I would say that!

 

Contis Sport conatct 3 get my vote out of the pair, the Michelins are an old but still good design but not the best tyre anymore like when they came out. If it was my car though I'd be putting on Goodyear eagle F1 assymetrics, they are cheaper than the other two and win more tyre tests than the other two.

 

But honestly, if you are putting tires on a car that you use on a daily basis, make sure you check the tread wear rating. Performance tires wear pretty fast. Especially on poor road surfaces.

 

I agree, for st use only, get the one that wears the most, costs the least and has the most comfort (noise, ride, ete.) people get all bent out of shape in getting the best summer hipo tire when all they do is drive public streets, and hit the curves on occasion. Youll never get to the limit where the best ones differentiate themselves.

 

Just get re-treads!

 

Agree with Dandle and S4iscool.

I have PS2's on my 911 and I have to say they are not as good a tire as the Pirelli P-Zero Rosso's that they replaced. Turn in was sharper and grip was noticeably higher on the Pirelli tires. The PS2 just doesn't have the same levels of grip. Corners that would not trouble the Pirellis do trouble the PS2s which break away sooner and less predictably. They are a good tire, but I believe they are a little over-rated. On a car like the E60 which doesn't exit corners as quickly as my 997 the issues above will be less apparent. FWIW the PS2's on my 997 are in N1 spec which is unique to Porsche. The PS2's were also cheaper than a new set of Rosso's. My dealer could only get hold of PS2s when my Pirelli P-Zeros needed replacement.

 

Any other opinions in regards to choices that will last a bit longer than performance 'soft' tires?

I used Dunlop SP Sport 8000 tires before and I was pleasantly surprised. Good dry and wet grip. Plus the tires lasted for over 25,000 kilometres. The only reason why I changed them is because I hit a monster pothole, bent my front rims and wrecked the sidewall of two tires. Even with over 25,000 kilometres, the tires still had lots of tread left!
