I take it we only have 2 tire choices? Dunlop 8000 and Pilots?

It seems like these are the only packages available other than the Kumhos but it looks like the tire life is VERY short. I am looking for an everyday tire with some life. Are the Pilots the longest lasting tire? Or Dunlop? Dry or wet which is better? Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Pilots are longer lasting and better in wet or dry.

I have had the best luck with the Pilots.

You left out Pirelli !! I had them on my viper, and they **** !! But they do have 18 inch sizes that fit the newer 18 inch rim vipers !!

Second the notion on the Dunlop tires. It is amazing how much they impact the handling of the car. In a negative direction.

17" Matters..... FIVE choices:

Michelin Pilot Sports (~~$1225 set )
Pirelli P-zeroA (~~$1149 set)
Dunlop 800 (yuck.... car-lot-make-do)
Kumho cross tread
Kumho rib tread

Dunlop blows.

I have the Dunlop's. I am about to replace them with some pilots. Only problem I have had with them is keeping them balanced. Other then that, they have been fine. I have a set of road race Hoosiers and autox Kumho's, so I use those in hard driving experience. I got the Dunlops more for rain because of the large channels.

No I am not that guy. I live in Fort Wayne.
