New Front PS2's
Due to a mishap with the left front tire yesterday I had the pleasure of buying 2 Michelin PS2's today. I had some old PS's with a different pattern than the new ones. I was able to take a test drive tonight and the tires drove great. They also sure look great.

Funny, literally yesterday I just put a full set of PS2s on my 02 Z02. I literally ran the old ones untill they were slicks. I love the these tires! I have yet to find a non R compound tire that I feel performs better.

I've been hearing great reviews from everyone who has bought these tires. One of the most encouraging was from a friend who has a maggied Z06. He said last year on the way home from Carslile, on the interstate in a moonsoon at tripple digits the tires felt sure footed, no slip at all. Looks like these will be my next street tire purchase. To the guys who already have them, please post up how the tires are doing when you have 10-15k on them. To the OP, good luck.

Now lower that 4x4
Congrats on your new tires! I think your car looks great at the stock height the GM designers agreed on...

Thanks Quick, I agree our cars look better lowered but for the time being I'm leaving it at stock height. It's hard enough to jack up now. Anyway tires really look good. Also I bought the tires from Tire Choice. They were listed on the Michelin web site. I paid $280 each, Tire Rack's price was $252. I couldn't order as I destroyed the left front driving on a flat tire.

Best damn tire money can buy IMO. But they do not last long, I get about 10 - 11 months out of a front set and if I'm lucky 6 months out of a rear set. (And yes I know I drive the **** out of them) but hey why buy one of these cars and not use em.
Well enjoy, I too went from the PS to the PS2 and it is simply a night & Day compound difference. Enjoy

With my car adjusted down all the way in front with stock suspension I could get a jack under the front with these helper ramps.
