I'm in the market for new tires for the 8. I'm down to Pole Position SO4s or PSS.
I will drive the car almost daily to work and back (35 miles, freeway) with probably 3 track days this summer. I prefer max traction (braking and turning) over long life - I'm leaning towards the PSS because they have a mileage warranty that might help me later down the road - but I'm assuming it’s a pro-rated warranty. If I use the tread in say, 20,000 miles is the difference the credit me towards replacement more or less than the price difference for the initial purchase - they are about $35 more per tire than the S04s. The tracks I'm gearing-up-for are Grattan, Waterford, and Gingerman - if that helps your opinion. Size will be 265/35/18 Or are they 30? I forgot what I have now. I think they're 35 (with my RPF1 18x9.5)
I've read through the entire interwebs and have read opinions from a lot of car owners; focusing on cars with similar characteristics to the 8 (S2Ks, Miatae, etc). I'm looking for RX8Club's input on the two.
Ultimately I'm most-concerned with ability to stop and turn the car - if I'm pushed to pick something I want most. I figure a 30k mile-rated tire does me NO good if I'm on my roof at 15K. So - safety first - over 'warranties'.
Thank you.
