Michelin Pilots?
Anyone else running Michelin Pilots? I'm trying to find something quieter than my Goodyear Eagles. These were recommended by another member. Looking for more opinions. Thanks.

I had a set of Michelin Pilot Sport IIs on my car for about a year. Didn't have any problems with them and they were quiet as far as road noise goes.

The Michelin's ZP made a world of difference from the Goodyear's. IMO you can not go wrong with a Michelin tire. I have 45K on a set of M/S on a 2003 Z-71 Tahoe and there is another 25K left on them. I don't have any stock in Michelin, they produce a great product.

On my second set now, and soon to be third. Not because they wear out just that I keep changing wheels, but have remained with PS2s.
Made the change from the factory runflats to non-flat Michelins back in 03 and dont regret it a bit. A bit more $$$ but you get what you pay for. Enjoy the QUIETER ride and better overall performance.

I have PS2's - had them for a little over two years. Quiet, great handling, good in the rain and come in sizes that the Goodyear GS-D3 doesn't. Yes - they are more expensive....which is the only downside that I see.

One down side is that the Pilot Sport A/S ZPs have a 50 recommended maximum driving range while flat, and still be repairable, compared to the 200 mile range of the GY EMT.
I believe the GY and Michelin are the only 2 run flats available that can be repaired after being driven while suffering a complete loss of inflation.
