Hi all!
I recently bought a full set of Jade R's for my Sagaris and I need help to find tyres.
I'm a normal driver and don't use the car in wet conditions.

front: 255/?/19
rear: 265/?/19

Any recommendations?

cheers Josef

Thanks guys!
I think semislicks don't make sense for my "art of driving" and it's pretty hard to find them in 19".

So, until now, it seems Michelin Pilot Super Sport will fit best (correct size and range of use). But I still have a look at the Michelin Sport Cup 2 - seems to be a fantastic tyre...

How about Pirelli PZero's?


@John
275 rear??? Could you post a picture of this setup?

I think, I'm gonna buy the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and keep the original 18" spiders.
If I really want to go on track one day, then it's time for semi's...

Hi Paul!
Not much experience until today (wrong front rims and a lot of rain...), but for now, I can say, that there is much much more grip at lower speeds - when driving out of a roundabout for example.

With the old Bridgestones the car allways tends to oversteer, now it's very hard to get the rear in a "drift position"...

So, compared to the old tires, the Michelin seems to be perfect....

cheers
