Default Tire recommendations
I'm looking to replace my stock tires on my 225hp roadster TT. I do not demand high performance tires and have been given quotes on "H" performance rated tires. I'm also considering an all season tire.

Any suggestions?

Default I hear good things about the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season
But performance-wise people here will usually recommend the Bridgestone Potenza SO3 Pole Positions.

Default Re: Tire recommendations
I current am running Pirelli P7000 Supersports after two sets of Bridgestone S03s. You defintely are trading off some performance with the Pirellis vs. the Bridgestones but my goal was to save some money. I wanted the Dunlop SP Sport 9000 but they were not in stock when I had to buy. I've heard good things about the Dunlops, but they are summer tires.

Good Luck and let us know what you purchased!

Default Tires are a bit of a balance. I disliked my Potenzas. I really like my Pilot All Seasons...
But they aren't quite as good as summer only road tires.

Toyo Proxes FZ4... Excellent tire, not as high grip as Pilot Sport, but will slide progressively
