345-325/19 cornering tire recommendations
I'm about to have to purchase a new set of tires and would like some first hand opinions.

If the Nitto NT01's were made in my sizes it would be a no-brainer but alas, life is a compromise. So, any recommendations from some of the experts???

use 18" on all four corners. 19" are just too big and heavy.not to mention the added expense.
Mich PSs are very good tires.
Size, stick with the 325x18 or 335/30x18 rear and 295/30x18 front. That would be a good combination.
345 rear and 325 front might be too wide and stick out under from under the fenders.
Good Luck

I guess that I was unclear with my descriptions. I currently have 18/9.5" rim in front running a 285/18 and a 19/12 rear rim running a 345/19 tire. Since I have 2 sets of these rims I didn't want to change set-ups so I was trying to work with what I have rather that start over buying new 3 piece wheels again that'll clear big brakes.
Are the Pilot Sports better that the PS2's?

stick with the 18 up front, and use a 285 as well. The 285 and 335 combo is very good handling.
with the 325 up front the car will feel like a pig in the mud cornering at slow speeds,
PS2s are just the newer version of the PS.
