Default Put on new Michelin Pilot tires. Highly recommended!

The Goodyears on my 1999 needed to be replaced, so after research on here and reading the reviews on Tire Rack, I went with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ZP.

Compared to my Goodyears, they are night and day. It's a totally different car. The ride is smooth, quiet, and predictable.

The day after I had them put on I went on a 1200 mile road trip and was very comfortable!

I just wanted to mention this in case anyone else is looking for new tires!

Any tire does that actually. Goodyears are crap.

Michelin does make some good tires and for runflats, that's about the only one I would buy.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports are superb tires. On my Z they are like glue, quite, and ride great!

Agreed! Installed on our '02 Convertible. Best money we spent!
