Thumbs up Just installed a set of Michelin PS2!

Just installed a new set. Its scary how the car has been transformed compared to the crapanzas! Wheel spin is almost non existent, its like driving on velcro. All performance have improved by a large margin, turn in, grip, braking you name it. The are slightly noiser but not objectionably so. Ride harshness is almost identical (inflation 39 front/35 rear). Steering weight has firmed up nicely. Absolutely no comparison, handling has gone from TL to M3 levels. Strongly recommended without reservations, except for price (180 each) and treadwear (200). Forget A spec BS, save acouple of 1000's and get as good if not better results by a simple tire swap

i finally got these on over the weekend...245 40 18 on the 05 apsec rims...(w/ aspec suspension) and hunter force balanced.

these tires are absolutely amazing!!!

i have never experienced so much cornering force in my life....

there is no correction needed once you take a set, they are smooth and quiet on the highway....i have yet to come close to their limit...

this morning I think I noticed moderate flat spotting after sitting all night…it was about 40 degrees, so I assume that is what it was…..either that or I lost a weight…. has anyone else experienced this?

Imagine getting the PS2 and the A Spec suspension If you really want a performance tire, try the Bridgestone RE01
