Street tire question

[ATX5.0]

In a month or so I’ll be purchasing a new pair of rear tires. Car will be driven 7-10k miles a year.. not a daily anymore.
It’s between Michelin pilot sport 4S (275s) and pilot sport PS2 (285s). Looking for max dry traction, not worried about wet or cold weather. Any input is appreciated.

12gt - FBO, e85, suspension mods, ds etc

Either of those will be fine. Why not look into something softer like a r888?

Have a drag setup already.
Car should make around 420 wheel

R888r’s, I like Michelin tires but the traction isn’t in the same league.

Hear good things about 888r, thanks

My fault, im looking for longevity out of the tire as well
Hope 15-20k miles

Have Hoosier qtps for the drag strip and trips to Mexico.

Sounds like you already know what you want. If you want longevity and traction, MPSS or that sort is your best bet. Hell, I run MPSS and love them. I have 295/35/19 in the rear and have great traction when it's above 60 degrees.

Good info thanks
Most likely going with the ps2

What kind of lifespan on the r888's.

Depends on how you drive.. Basic street/spirited driving I'd guess anywhere from 10-15k
