Anyone have any thoughts on this tire vs PS2s?

They don't make them in an application to fit the Viper.

However, I have heard some good things about these tires. My friend has them on his C6 corvette and said that they are night and day versus the OEM runflats. I'm probably going to put them on my car when I need new tires. The only bad thing that I have heard about them is that they get a little noisy when you have a lot of miles on them.

Tire rack has the 335/30/18 and the 275/35/18 sizes. Arent these the right sizes for a Gen2, or am I missing something? Im pretty sure they started making them for the rears recently. Im thinking of getting a set and trying them.

If anyone has these already, how about some input... on paper they look good, but so do a lot of other things.

Performance is the key here! :usa:

Yes, those are stock Gen 2 (99-02) sizes. If you order, get them from Jon B. TireRack is his supplier, but it'll be cheaper to order through him than ordering them yourself! [email protected]

Called Jon B and got some info. The BFGs are much harder tires and will wear better, but have less traction. I went with the PS2s, as tread wear isnt as important to me as preventing wheel hop/spinning. Jon was very helpful in my decision making process.......Thanks Jon :2tu:

I had these on my hopped up 06 Mustang and thats about where they belong. A good tire for the street and track for the price but the PS2 which I have on the Viper is a MUCH better tire. You get what you pay for and the PS2 is a much better tire.
