ps2 tires

[SBMIANO]

I am replacing my oe's after 9800 mi. on my 06 vert and ps2 seem to be the choice, I found them for 1628.00 shipped to my house anyone else find them for less? Does any change in wheel well clearance with the tires? any pictures?

Thanks and Happy New Year to all

 

[C-Note]

I am looking as well

The OE ZPs can 't be found in the unlikely event you would want them . Don't drive the PS2s in under 38 degree weather.

Why 38 Degrees?

PartsRack could absolutley beat that price IF -IF- IF we sold you the WRONG PS2. Be careful that your 'good-deal' vendor knows the different designations within the PS2 family in the Viper sizes.

The CORRECT tires with NO clearance or other issues would be a tad bit more ($12 ea?)

Or just use a VCA Vendor Sponsor that KNOWS what is correct and will stand behind it?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

{If PRICE is what matters most, we can do FOUR NEW KUMHOS in correct OE size for under $1275!}

Just be real careful in cold temps.

The colder it gets, the worse traction gets. And that includes the front tires when going into a turn!

What do you mean the wrong PS2s? How many designations are there? And what would be the correct one?
Thanks

Has anyone tried the Kumhos yet? It's a new tire for the viper is it not?

hamrhead is right. My 09 CTS-V came delivered with PS2s by all accounts a wonderful SUMMER tire. I then started hearing bad stories about driving them in cold (not snow or ice but cold) I then saw that Michelein was saying in their literature not to use them in below 38 degrees.

Still skeptical I called Michelin and sure enough they told me to change in Winter to another tire because in cold conditions they can crack and lose traction. They also said they would not last long driving in cold.

The PS2s on the Caddywere especially made for that car so there could be differences.

I've driven on PS2s (and PS Cups) in < 38F. They ****, but aren't dangerous as long as you're aware of the change in grip level.

I'm no expert, but the PS2 that is Viper specific is "C1"

good idea to call and talk to JonB at PartsRack directly (and then tell us why & what you decided on)

his number is in his signature in case you missed it

Here you go for the C1 PS2 vs other PS2. It's only the front tire that could be different.
