Vredestein, PSS,Nitto's, PZERO's what's your choice of Tires

I have Driven on Pss 19's and so far my review is not as great as the Vred's but they are 2 different tire and SIZes

on my old wheels 19" I kept spinning out and its not as Sticky as these Vreds although the wheels I have now are 20" and 305's

After Changing to 20"
it was like night and day, No Spin out's and these tires stick like Glue

I know A Few of us Running Vreds even on track like Middlyman

Knowing guys here take it to track, what is your choice of tire if you are about to Replace your set.

1.Would you keep what you have?.
2.WOuld you switch to a different brand?.

I prefer the PSS but prefer to the use the Ferrari spec 295/35R20 for the rear.

More traction, more wheel protection, and a more accurate speedometer.

I have to say I'm not impressed with the MPSS, I'd read and heard lots of hype about this sticky tyre that does great mileage and grips in the wet, but I find it wants for traction all the time, turn in isn't great and the lateral grip at the front isn't very confidence inspiring as I feel like the front end is or wants to wash out.

This is exactly what I am talking about. The driving experience should be better than it is. I did not buy my car so I could brag about the great mileage I get out of the tires. When the C6 ZO6 came out, I bought one of the first ones and enjoyed going thru the OEM rear tires just so I could buy a grippier tire that ended up being quieter. The driving enjoyment should not be limited by a mediocre tire.

Any throttle response issues from running a taller tire?

P Zeros are the most popular by my customers. I personally like the Nittos
