I'll tell you this. I bought Michelin super sports for my brz, which were the most recommended tire for the car and I'll never buy them again.

They are wonderful tires for performance but they pick up every single rock on the road and tumble them in my wheel wells. It's incredibly annoying and it has also damaged some paint too.

I don't know if all max summer tires experience the same thing or not. I don't really have much experience but the stock tires which were summer grand touring Michelin primacy hp, did not pick up rocks.

Be mindful that whenever you have to change a tire for awd, you kind of have to change the whole set. Unless there's only a very little mileage.

Yeah those are performance cars tires. That's the name of the game. You drive on a set of drag radials lol. Put a hard tire back on the brz and ride.

I don't want to go through selling tires again, even though I can get them dismounted and mounted for free.

I meant to say you should drive on a set of drag radials. It will make those super sports seem like winter tires.

hoosiers on autox would be picking up slabs of concrete if there were enough cracks in the ground lol. I just run hankook rs3s v2s. They're lasting quite a long time with 4 or 5 track days on em
