Update on my wheel/tire problem / GS-D3s vs. PS2s? Need advice quick.
I took my car to the shop this morning and my vibration problem seems to be due to uneven tire wear / misshaped tires. I couldn't see it when I put on the wheels, but when the tech spun the wheels, I could see that the Kumhos weren't perfectly round when rotating. The outter edges were "chopped."
So, time to get new tires I guess. I'm debating between PS2s and GS-D3s. Can anyone make the case for one over the other? I'm ready to pull the trigger today.
TIA.

TireRack test ranked the PS2 just above the GS-D3.
However, it looks like it was close enough that either would probably be fine.

Don't mean to mix things up...but I just ordered these yesterday...

They ended up ranking pretty high amongst UHP tires...
<a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Fsurveyresults%2Fsurveyd isplay.jsp%3Ftype%3DUHP" target="_blank">Survey</a>
but these are based on user reviews...so who knows. All I know is they were fairly inexpensive at 152 a pop and I just need some for my summer wheels...the dry and wet grip appear to be pretty impressive.
