Default Michelin PS2's Are On!!!!

And boy are they nice! Much quieter than the Goodyears. And the car rides smoother too. Or atleast it seems to. Since i bought the car a year or so ago, it had the original tires with 12k miles on em. And the last 3k i put on em weren't "easy" i guess you could say. But i'm very pleased with the Michelins! Now all i need is some sunshine so i can see how good these tires hook!

I'm very happy with the overall performance of mine also

They have come up short on traction since I installed a SC.... but that is understandable.

I just got a set of the PS2s for mine and so far, they are nice. Can't really tell all that much difference between them and the Goodyear F1 Supercars I had on before, but a lot of difference from the runflats.

I've had my PS2's since January. They ride great and seem to handle great too. I was a little worried about degradation of ride going from the stock sizes to a much lower profile tire (35 in front and 30 in back). But it turns out that the car still rides smooth and not jarring. Helps that the roads are not like the ones in the midwest, too. But overall I'm happy with them. At their price - I hope they last!

I know what ya mean. I thought the ride would get harsher, going lower profile. But it rides just like you said, smooth and quiet.

Here's another vote for the PS2's. I haven't found anything about them that is not better than the Goodyear SC's the Z06 came with originally. I'd buy them again. Mine came on the CCW Classics mounted and balanced as a package when I bought the wheels. If anyone is buying from CCW they will supply tires at Tire Rack prices.

Look great - Glad to hear the low profiles are not rough riding.
I think thats what I ran into with mine. (bought the car with the 30% Yokohamas and have not been pleased with the ride as of late - ofcourse the tires are at the end of their useful life)

Will put the PS2 at the top of my shopping list
Thanks
