Performance Michelin are
Which Michelin tire have you guys found to offer the most tire sizes suitable for late model corevettes. For example, I have Michelin Sports on my ZR1. The newer version is the Sport PS2. I'm looking for width ranges 275 through 345.
Basically I want to buy new wheels and don't know if I'll have more options and less likelyhood of Michelin discontinuing my tire size with 18" rims or 19" rims. Both the Corvette and Viper use 18" fronts and 19" backs so I'm thinking the OE sizes are not likl going to be a problem.
I'm also trying to avoid looking at every model on the Michelin web site.

I have the PS2s in 305 rear and 275 front on Ace slicks. This ends up giving you a tire which is about a half an inch lower in height in back than the stock size. Doesnt sound like much but you really notice the difference. A little lowering gets things back in perspective but if your not wanting to do that then you would want to avoid that size rear. Huge improvement in traction and the ride improvement was also welcome. LAPD sells this setup and had by far the lowest price I could find at the time, well under tire rack in the same sizes.
