Default Quick tire question

Im in need of a new set of tires. I am either going to go with the stock Good Year Super Cars or Michelin PSII's. My question is which tire hooks up better in stock sizes. Ive had the psII's on my 19" ccws but i assume they will hook better with 18"s. If i compare the 2, the Good Years hook better from my experience but then again they werent in the same sizes...has anyone had both combos...? what do you think was better?

thanks
Dan

Had Goodyears when I bought it, and got em off ASAP to put on good tires Michelins. As for looks goodyear looks a little better but I had a flat last week, the Michelin RF did it's job I drove to the tire store to get it fixed. My preference is practical over looks. Mine are 17's and 18's.

I've run both types of tires. IMO, the Michelin's had a better grip to them.
