Other than price, I have never heard a complaint about PS2s.

I have a set of kuhmo mx tires on my 98 coupe, there is NO noise and the ride is nice and soft. But I'm comparing them to the stock run flats that were on the care when I bought it.
So far no complaints

Top three in no particular order:

Mich PS2s (super-expensive but very capable)
Goodyear GSD3s (longest-lasting but super-sticky on dry or wet surfaces)
BF Goodrich KDW2s (a bit noisier than the other two, but great tires)

For runflats, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZPs hands down. Have had mine for 33K now and will easily see 45K.

I think when it comes to tires you need to decide what you need. Do you dirve it everyday? Does itneed to perform in all weather conditions?

I have the PS2's but I don't drive it in the winter or on wet streets.

My father has had PS2s for 30K+ miles (it could be more). He's never had any issues except when hitting some dusty roads. He also drives in the rain and at temps 40+ in the winter (roads permitting). I'm getting Invos this weekend. I never hear complains about the Nittos, even with high hp cars.

I drive the car daily in all types of weather, and these tires work well for me. They are an excellent choice if you want a tire that will last a while.
