S03's worn out! What do get next?

So i put 20,000 km on my S03's. The time is coming where i have to replace them. Im really happy with them but i want to try something diffrent.

The size's im running are 245/35/20 front. 285/30/20 rear.

Price is not of concern. But the quality, comfort, Performance has to be par with the S03's So something as good or better.

Any comments?

I went from S03's to Michelin Pilot Sport II's and I love them. Great performance without all the road noise.

I just ordered the Falken FK452s. Most reviews have been pretty favorable so far. We'll see how it goes.

I got the Falken FK 452s on. My first impressions go something like this...


Wow!

They are quiet, responsive and the traction seems excellent so far. I haven't had a chance to really work them out yet, I'll give them a few hundred miles to scrub in, but initially I'm pretty impressed.

Huh? I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Anyway, I have the PS2's not the PS's and the PS2's are not noisy at all.

just something to add... F1 told me not to get ps2 because they are softer than s03. supposedly a lot of people bend their 19s on potholes. i am not sure how true this is.
