I know they're expensive, but I've never seen as many positive owner reviews and tests on a particular tire before. Just about everyone who has them seems to love them. They actually came in less expensive than the GY Supercar EMTs which was surprising to me.

285/35/19 PS2

According to michelin they are made but are not in "distribution, indefinatly".

SUCKS

I was told they made them specifically for the Ferrari F430 as they are the same size and have a notation in the model number of the tire that Ferrari recognizes as "up to their standards" (whether or not any of this is true, I don't know).......... Not in distribution as in never were released or production had stopped on them? If you're saying they were never distributed at all, I can take photos of mine to prove I have 'em.

My all thime fav Michelin pilots I have had on ever car and bike for years.: long life, stiff, sticky as hell, great in the rain. lows: take a while to warm up and deadly when cold.

I looked on tire rack; not too much selection.


SUGGESTIONS?
I don't think it's the tires. I replaced the stock shocks on my '05 Z51 with Bilstein Sports. WOW! What a difference in handling, cornering, and comfort.
