Can someone recommend me new tires better than p-zeros? Good Turn Handling + Rain??
 
Can someone recommend me new tires? I'm completely new to buying tires and don't want to buy worse tires than I already have. Mine are in need of replacing.

Thinking:
-That won't be a step down from my current Pirelli P-Zero's? (20")
-That can handle curves well without sliding (there's a really really sharp 270 degree turn I take everyday from home)
-That can handle wet environments well. (Ability to drive at normal speeds in heavy rain for work)
-That won't skid when if I ever start fast at a green light (Happens sometimes on bad roads, usually in wet environments)

Does anyone know of a good brand/type that you think would be nice for me?

Car: 2010 Camaro RS 2LT

This is a step sideways but not a step down. These are available to fit the RS/SS 20 inch offset wheels. Sidewalls are softer in the turns than the Pzeros but for mid-west winters they make the car drivable when needed to be so.

Would a Michelin Pilot Super Sport also fit what he's trying to look for? How would those compare to what you posted above?

BFG Comp2. I had the G-Max's on the Bee but man they got noisy. So put on BFG Comp2's. Handle great wet and dry.

well I just put hancooks on mine today ventus will see how they go.

thanks guys for the recs :) Doing research on those brands now. How do the Super Sports compare to what you guys posted above? It looks like a bit different type.

And Will 275/35/20 front tires and 295/35/20 for rears fit my car? (20" RS)

if you are going to put 275's up front....go with a 275/40 just like the stock tire size.

I have Hankook Ventus V12's on mine. I bought the car used so I didn't have much time with the Pirellis, and when I did they didn't have much tread, but I'm definitely pleased with the Hankooks.

I put Toyo Proxes4+ on and i love them! A great all season tire and very impressed with the winter traction i have in a Montana blizzard.

I've just put on Conti ExtremeContact DWS and they are working great in Seattle (cold/wet).

Believe it or not Nitto Invos have good traction in the rain. I very pleased with the ones I have on my car.
