Which Michelin RF?
I'm ready for new rubber and decided to stick with RFs but notice there are 2 different Michelins - the Pilot Sport A/S and the Pilot Sport PS2.
Any comments as to which one to get?
Thanks

Depends on what type of driving you do. The PS2 will not tolerate cold weather, where as the A/S Plus will as they are all season UHP tires and can handle light snow. The A/S Plus has a 45K mileage warranty and handles wet roads extremely well, not to mention exceptional grip on dry roads - the tire is very predictable. Not so on the PS2 MP tire, summer only. The PS2 ZP is the OEM tire for the Corvette ZR1.

I mainly just go for a local or long distance cruise - no wild driving habits. A few road trips - rarely if ever drive it when the temps are below freezing or bad conditions.
Sounds like the PS2 ZPs are right for me.

Go with the A/S - a very good tire.

Michelin's
I got rid of my original Goodyear's for a full set of Michelin pilot sports PS/2 ZP early this year, and I think it's the best money I ever spent on the car.
