I have the Pilot Sports and they are great tires. I really like them. They are very quiet.

Way quieter than stock and still a run flat.

I have had both the PS and PS2 on my ZO6. Just put on a set on Nitto Invo's on it, there is even less road noise with these tires on the car
very happy with them so far.

I have PS-2's and love them in the warmer months, but in the cold months they need to warm up a few miles before you get any traction. PS-2's and a proper 4 wheel alignment the car handles just great!!. As mentioned the GSD-3 are great tires but they have limited sizes, I wanted 265/18 and 305/19 and the Goodyear's didn't come in the 305's.

Here's another vote for the Pilot Sport AS ZPs. I might have been a little happier with the handling of another tire, hard to say, but a some peace of mind goes a long way.....

Hi
I just bought the sport pilots and they seem to be quieter than the original good years but only have maybe 30 miles on them .
I am glad to hear the positive side of these tires on your threads for I went out to buy non run flats and ended up with the mich. tires
makes me think i made the right move .Guess I'll know in the near future when I drive back to canada from Fla.

Seems like the tire to get, sure they're more expensive, but it's not like I'm getting a new set every year.

I'll be installing these within the next couple of weeks. I really hope the pressure sensors don't get fu**ed in the process.

I made the switch to Michelin Pilot Sport ZP's two years ago. Couldn't be happier!

Finally got to drive my car today with the new Michelin runflats. I immediately noticed a smoother ride and, oh yes, a quieter ride than the GY runflats.

I was really close to getting the GSD3's. But I really wanted a runflat because I take my kids in the car and can't afford a flat in the wrong place. But they are a great tire.

That said, I LOVE my Michelins and will keep buying them. Awesome tire and very quiet. Will keep buying them for sure!
