Default first drive ps2 on 2011 GS vert

ok, so i couldnt take it anymore! i had to drive the car. three months sitting in the garage and two months with brand new 295/345 michelin ps2 non runflats and i had to take it for a run. its 34 here in ny so knowing these tires arent for the winter i refrained from any extreme driving but i had to play a little bit! here is my take. the ride is much nicer even at 34 degrees, it will probably be better when the warm weather comes, also there is less tramlining which i was hoping for but its not gone! now once again im sure it will be better when the weather is warmer so im giving my review in pretty much the worst weather condition, and as far as road noise goes well there isnt any! night and day compared to the goodyears. i took a couple nice turns just to see what people were saying about feeling the sidewall flex with a non runflat and i didnt notice any difference, now im using 295's in the front which are almost 3/4 of an inch wider so i dont know if maybe that minimizes the feeling some people have felt switching to a non runflat. all in all im very happy with the michelins and think the warm weather will really make them shine. now im going to spend the next three hours cleaning the car!
