So I have searched and read a lot and think I need to post to get some thoughts on my case. I have a 04 coupe 6mt and currently have the pilot sport tires. I got back from a tire shop and they said b/c of a needle that is in my tire, they can't fix the flat tire. So I am thinking of replacing the rears which have 15k+ on them. I live in AZ and this car is my DD. Should I go for the PS2, PS1 or A/S Plus tires?? Any help would greatly be appreciated!

 

anyone please

 

PS2's are pretty much the best hi-perf tire you can get, but they are pricey, and it may not be a great idea to mix fronts/rears because of the different tread patterns. PS1's are still excellent tires, and when I needed to replace my rears at about 15k, I went with another set of PS1's. Hopefully, the fronts and rears will then wear out together, and I will consider a set of PS2's at that point. If you live in AZ, you don't really need to worry about all-season tires, and if the temp doesn't get much below 40, you should be fine on summer compound tires.

 

A/S plus because of the treadwear warranty but only if replacing all 4. You do not wanna have a all season and a summer tire on the same car

 

Thanks a bunch for the posts! Very helpful. Do you guys think I would notice a change if I go from PS1 to A/S Plus? Also can I get a wider size tire with the stock rims that I have? I just want the rears to look more aggressive, but not sure if this is recommended? Thanks again.
