New tires, huge difference

Just got new tires : Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 . Very quiet, cornering and tread life all a huge improvement. About $180+ / ea. HIGHLY recommend!! It's almost like a different car.

Anytime you replace of the original Bullshitstones with almost any make/model of tire, you'll feel a huge differece.

Isn't that the standard tire on Acuras now? I know my car has 17 inch Michelin Pilot tires (don't know if it's a "Sport" model though). Does it say that on the tire?

My had Michelins, but they were the MXM, or something like that, all weathers. You can defintely appreciate the better rubber.

Michelins

I believe you'll find the Michelins on the TLs with Nav.
One's without Nav get the Shitstone's.

I agree. Right before last winter I just got the pilot sport 2s on my TL and it made a world of difference. By far the best tire EVER!!

I think the price is pretty good actually. i got 210 a tire with install.

AmericasTire installed them for me, at about $180 a tire. The Pilot Sports are just ok, the Pilot Sport PS2's are in another category. As far as recognizing the model of the tire, the 'PS2' label is in a very tiny box right underneath the 'T' in sport, you have to get close to see it.

Couldn't agree with Knightrider more.
