Tire choice

Get the CUP2s in 245s and use Hondata Traction Control

Just a note, the CUP2s need to be at operating temp which is higher than the PS4s...so if it's not warm enough outside and you do a short drive, might not get the full benefits of the tire

I custom tuned the car and it has TC already.. it is 380whp and torque now.

Was waiting for the torque figures... you gotta go at leastAD08R or RE71R.... and at least 255s... RE71R are lighter... No point pumping up the power and going ice-skating..

I had PS4S for a season (haven't put them back on yet) and loved them. Well worth the money over the stock Conti's. My tuned 1.5L (that's with the CVT for all the haters) ate a healthy amount of tread, but shat out smiles on my face. I thought I'd get 3 seasons of use with the shorter season up here in Mid-Atlantic NE, but the feel of these tires fresh makes me want to sell them off after 2 and re-up. Despite wearing faster than I anticipated, I was almost religious about break-in and they did wear consistently, I believe, as a result. Being aware of how shoddy a surface you're on and driving accordingly helps too.
I have nowhere near the HP you do, so if you have anywhere near the amount of self control I do, go with the PS4S. From what I've read you're only likely to see a difference in track scenarios (nod to the Cup 2's), you get more tread to start with on the PS4S and a tread warranty to boot. Log diligent rotation and the value extends through early-wear proration on the next set.

Pilot Sport A/S +3s are a great “in-betweener” tire selection.

It would need to be better than the PS3 I had on my Megane R26 (18" wheels) after the PS2 was no longer available and before the PS4 was (in France). The PS3 was some crap non-performance tyre rebranded to fill the gap and had no grip.

Pilot Sport Cup 2 in OEM size are super cheap right now. $455 for a set of 4 from Priority Tire (including shipping) and you can usually find a 5% / $20 off coupon for that website.

I have 2 sets in my basement and one on the car. They are better than stock in every way.

Are you sure about that? $455 for a set of 4? I checked - the current price is $399/tire, total $1600 at prioritytire.com

245/30R-20 will be more responsive to steering input on your 8.5-inch wide wheels over the 255.

Sorry to hear about the vandalism!

I had 245/35R20 ps4s .. it runs comfortable, alot cheaper, best is it break 60 by end of 2nd gear.
However i dont like it as the car rise up by 1 inch because of the wheel diameter.

My 4 tires all slashed so i am going to 255/30R20..
