Hope I made the right choice

Hi,

Currently I'm running 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 Kuhmo Ecsta SPTs. The rears have about 3mm left of tread so I ordered up the same size tire but Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I don't have a track near me, just twisty roads and some long straights on private property to race my buddies. I'm currently FBO and these rears spin through third on a cooler night (16C).

Are the PSS tires a good choice?

Yes, they're good tires. Probably better than the Kuhmos.

The PSS are very good tires, but work a lot better when hot. I have Continental Extreme Contact DW tires on both of my cars and I absolutely love them. Highly recommend next time around.

The Michelin Pilot Super Sport is an outstanding tire. No doubt much better than the old entry level Kumho SPT.
