There are a lot of good choices out there. What kind of performance are you looking to get out of your tires?

What is your definition of good? Probably not the same as me.

Your question is really broad, so there's no "right" answer to it. Good to some may be long lasting, quiet, and comfortable. Others might look for great steering response, grip, and price point. It's all relative.

What are your wheel specs, and what type of driving do you do?

Yes! We do!

If you're looking for great grip, the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tends to be the go-to tire for an summer performance tire. It's one of the best you can buy for the street right now.

When I hear "good tires" this is the image that goes thru my mind...

I've had the Hankook Ventus Evo12 tires (225/255) and now am riding on the Michelin PSS (225/255). Both are very capable in daily driving and you'll get the better bang for your buck with the Hankooks, but as soon as I switched to the PSS, I immediately noticed more comfort, more traction, and even slightly quieter ride. If you have the funds, I say go PSS because they seem to last quite a while and perform outstandingly. Just get a tire that performs "great" in the rain too.

How do the PSS fit on the LM reps? Any room for a 265/235 setup? Or potential for rubbing?

And to the OP, I also have PSS on stock wheels. Awesome tires. I wouldn't compromise for anything else, but Star Specs are also highly recommended by a lot of people. Might keep those in mind.

Condi DW's are another good option, priced in between V12 and PSS

They fit great. They definitely run a tad wider than the Hankooks though (although they should be exactly the same), which I always thought was weird. I guess it's the same when it comes to clothes

I don't think I will have much room for a 235/265 setup with my +45 offsets (Eurotek LM's). I am dropped pretty low on coil overs and rubbing in the back on large dips. Will be rolling my rear fenders this weekend, which should eliminate the small rub issue.

Nitrous will those fit on the stock 261 wheel and stock springs on a 135 without rubbing? I'd hate to spend that kind of money and find they rub a little bit.

Yeah no problem

I've got stock-sized PSSs (215 and 245) on my stock 313 wheels and love them. I'm sure the other tires mentioned are good choices, my only point is that you can't go wrong with PSSs. If I were to do it again I'd probably go 225 and 255 instead.
