I love TireRack...
they are sending UPS with labels to pick up my tires...I'll get credit minus shipping once they receive.
If I order new tires from them before they arrive, I don't pay shipping back.
Deal...
now to hunt...they don't have the DW in the size I need on the rear.

Haven't used any performance models, but have been happy with both Yokos & Sumis on my cars.

I put the s drives on our Accord, which is pretty similar to a CTS-V. I liked them, a little loud, but good driving tires.
I found them to be a little wanting in the grip department when they were cold though. But once they get a little bit of heat they are great.
Caveat emptor, opinions and assholes, etc.

yeah...they said leave em on the doorstep and get the hell out of here, ya filthy animal.
UPS apparently will put the shipping labels on and pick up...once they get back to Tire Rack they'll refund me minus shipping cost back to them, although if I place an order with them for my next set before they arrive, they'll not charge me the shipping back.

Well then lets find you some right size tires before they make it back. How about Michilan PSS. Do they make them in the right size?

Looking at Tire Rack if you want to stay with stock size tires then I would go with maybe the the Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position or maybe the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
If you up the tire size to 265/35/20 and 295/30/20 you can get the Kumho Ecsta PS91. They also have the Pilot Super Sport in that size for cheaper than our OEM size.

Thanks Jason...
my only issue is I'm not sure about clearance at all so I don't want to tempt fate and go wider...
I'm really thinking of going with the Sumi at $550 for the set...if they suck, it was cheap and I can replace down the line...I'm happy with that particular tire on the S2000 too.

Sumi htr's are good in the wet and good dry traction. J, you should put the contis on CL for 800.. See if you get a bite

Andrew, you're making me stiffer up front.
Okay, looks like I'm going with 20's that Majofo found me for a great deal...
I just need a cheap and pretty option that won't crack!
Anyone know what the oem size equivalent is for 20's? I'm assuming 5mm smaller sidewall and same as the oem?

Brah, the sumis have always been good to me.. I always run HTR's on the X.
I dumped the Michelins for them.. I would always get sideways on the Micheese in the wet.
HTR's do well in the wet and have good traction in the dry. The wear is okay.. not phenomenal.
Long enough to find the next tire deal though!

I think the problem is people try and box them up together in pairs. If you ship them as four seperate boxes each normally only costs about $25-30 per wheel.

So I think I figured out why the Continental ExtremeContact DW were on blowout. Wish I would have grabbed a set for the TSX wheels.
They have a ExtremeContact Sport coming out this month. I imagine so the name competes with the Pilot Super Sport.
