Pilot Super Sports

jtoddk98 · September 20, 2014, 01:27:23 AM

I'm getting new tires tomorrow. I'm deciding between the eagle f1 super cars that I have on now or the pilots. Big price difference. How is the wear in the pilots. The Eagles wore out too fast. Any other tire suggestions?

Thanks

I have the pilot SS as/3's for a year now. Very happy with them. Some things are worth the extra money spent. Great all season tire.

Anyone have the sport A/S3? Those have a 500 wear rating vs 300 on the supersport

I do actually. Great tire! I've only had them in the spring / summer so far so no winter time on them. They grip well and deal with rain easily. Hoping for the same in the snow.

awesome. I'm going with the a/s3. I'm in Florida so I don't have to worry about any snow.

Since you live in Tampa , Fl , as long as you don't deal with road trips up north and snow , I would recommend the Hankook Ventus Evo V12 .
It's an excellent summer performance tire , does very good in the rain and wears well . They are reasonably priced as well .
My personal choice .
Quite a few other members have them all so.

And excellent traction at the track.

Same here, I have A/S3's too and love them! Pricey but worth it, especially daily driver wise.

Decided to go with the A/S3. Had to order them from my dealer. They price matched them to $289.00 per tire. Having them put on Wednesday.

Good deal!

I have the A/S3's as well and love them. Great all around performance even when pushed hard. Not as great as true summer tires but this thing was a monster in the record setting snow we had this year. Great tires and AWD helped keep a smile on my face when driving in all that white crap. Great control and yet still easy to turn off TC and get some sideways action in when I wanted to.

I'm guessing you have these tires ..... My brother quoted me $150 for each tire. What is the thread life on these? Sorry OP for hijack .lol just had to ask .
The BF Goodrich comp2 look really good .

Got the A/S3 installed today. Rides a lot better then the eagle f1s. Ended up paying 1150 out the door. Not bad.

Was mounting&balancing&recycle of old tires included in the price at the dealer cause install is not cheap for 20's ?

The EVO V12 Ventus are great tires, had them on my last vehicle, but they were flat out terrifying in heavy rain. I just put on some Toyo Proxes Plus 4 and I'm in love with them. Not only are they made in the US but after a couple hundred miles they're only gripping more and more.

Also I got them for $890 out the door from Belle Tire (245/45/20 OEM tire size) with a 3 year unlimited mile warranty that covers anything done to the tires.
