Next set of tires?

The Pirelli PZero tires that came on the SS seem to be very good, but with the way many of us drive we will be due for a new set before too long. Does anyone know what they will buy when the time comes? Although I like the Pirelli tires, I don't think I want to spend that much money on my next set. I'm thinking Kumho Ecsta SPT.

I'm thinking of replacing the Pirelli P6's with Goodyear Tripletreds.

What do you guys think about Toyo's? I can get any set of them for virtually nothing.

My brother owns a tire distribution center , he deals mainly in Toyo and is very good friends with their rep. So when he buys them for himself or me he gets them for I'd say atleast over 50% off. A couple years ago when I had my ZR-2 S-10 I cut a couple tree stumps out for him and he gave me a bad a$$ set of Toyo off road tires and they were kick ass. I just was not sure about their street tires.

When I get my Cobalt next week, I'll be looking at replacing the Pirelli's with either Nitto NeoGen 2 or Falken Azenis. These are both great tires and are worth the money.

All I've done so far is a quick search on tirerack.com and there are only 5 different sets of tires that came up that could fit the stock SS wheels. I'm torn between the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A and the Bridgestone Potenza S-02's. I've never driven on either, but I did like the RE950's I had on my GTP.

I think I will go Nitto or BFG G-Force when they release the 215/45 sizes.

Playing around with tire size isn't worth it. Keep the stock size that way it looks right and handles better. The 215/45 is IMO perfect on this rim, bumping up to a 225 isn't going to icrease the width enough to be able to see the difference.
