I just ordered new Michelin (non run flats) for my 2001 daily driver. While I have it up on the lift, I'll be doing the brake rotors and pads too.
I've got the PS2s on my vert and I love them, the coupe has Hankooks and boy howdy are they a different tire. They've got around 30,000 miles on them, but I'm looking forward to the ride on the Michelins. The coupe has somewhere around 115,000 miles on it and it still runs like a top, although I do have some piston slap on these cold mornings.

So you like the PS2s better than the Hankooks?

There is no comparison.
Hash or filet mignon, when it comes to road noise and handling.
This is one instance where you get what you pay for.

A/S 3s? I just ordered some for my '99 convertible, replacing seven-year-old Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZPs with 28K miles on them. Kind of an experiment to see whether the ride quality is improved enough to compensate for the loss of run-flat.

Yes, I went with the A/S 3s.
I'm doing the brakemotive brakes, pads and rotors.
I do not track this car, thus these brakes should do fine.
