Need help with tires

Hey guys I’m stuck on this

I currently have the stock contis in front (which don’t have much thread as wel)

And I have 285/35/19 toyo r888r in reader

After about 4000 miles on them I feel like they don’t stick and I’m not a fan of them

I’m indesive which tires to get for rear and front

Michelin pilot sport 4s or nt555

Or pirelli zero corsa

Any suggestions would be appreciated

What sizes for front as well now that I’m running 285. In rear

PS4S for all conditions except track and winter temps. Amazing incredible best tires ever. NT555 are junk. NT05 if you are driving all dry weather and track.

I second PS4s. Probably the best summer tire you can buy.

No question - Michelin Pilot 4S. There was a world of difference in wet traction compared to the Michelin SS's that were on my car.

I have run the 4s for over 26,000 miles on my M2 and they are fantastic. Great all around tire and you get fantastic mileage out of them. You can get 25,000 miles out of them pretty easily and the performance is fantastic. Cost a little more but I doubt anything out there will go the miles the 4S will and not much will perform better in a variety of conditions.

No, none of the M2s came with 4s. They had Michelin SS or Contis.

Question for you, neighbor...have you kept those 4S on through winter? I know you guys get lower temps down there, down into the 30s, than we do up here in Phoenix. Just wondering if the 4S could pretty much be considered all-season for all of us south of, say, Prescott, where we get cold temps but avoid snowfall.

I kept my Contis on all winter with no problems. I plan on getting 4s when the Contis wear out.

I will tell you this: earlier this year, I was in an autocross that took place at an ambient temp of about 40f, with a feels like in the low 30s. One of my competitors on 4Ss had grip my RE-71s could only dream of. My impression is that the 4S has a wider operating temperature range than anything in its class.

they run skinny, 255/275 are actually perfect fit for the stock wheels, ex: ad08r are wider in 245/265 format.

Right now I’m running 245/35/19 in front and 285/35/19 in rear
I’m also tuned 50 Rwhp and 60 rwtq

I wanted to keep 285s and go up 255 in front?
I like the wide look in rear

I just put Michelin 4S on my car, they have a ton of grip and seem to be very comfortable to drive on.

I have 255 up front and 295 in the rear (aftermarket rims). Highly recommend these tires.

What aftermarket rims are you running with what offset that you can clear 295s? Are you lowered? Pics?
