I dislike all 3 tires you listed, in that case, get the cheapest. Or buy RE050A’s or PS2’s. I dislike the Eagles, I’d get the Advan’s if those were your three choices.

Available in 255/35:

Well if you want the best, get the Bridgestone or the Pilot Sport 2. They actually hold up decently when hot on the street, whereas the Eagle’s turn to pure mush.

Eagle is SHIT. PS2 all day long, they out handle almost any street tire I’ve driven, are VERY progressive, yet are excellent in the rain, last quite decently long, and the only downside is they aren’t cheap, but you’re newman 😉

why do you want 35?

For you I would say get those tires that are colored blue, since performance really isn’t an issue

Yeah, definitely not worth it. Neither is this thread. You know what tires you want. You have a list of tires you want, go buy them. Stop making these “hey look at me I’m cool” threads. Just because you seem incapable of finding tire size options doesn’t make your thread any less “standard”. You’re not doing anything groundbreaking. :roll:
