Michelin PS2's :)

Just got rid of the noisy RE050A tires on my G. With PS2's on, it feels like the whole suspension was revised for a smoother ride. Love em. But most of all, GOT RID OF THE G RATTLES!!

+1 on the PS2s
Had them on the G & now on the Z4M.

Best tire I've ever had & the 1st tire ever, that I purchased for a 2nd time.

I am so anxious to try the 255/40/18 PS2s out on our car once I put my summer wheels on, just to see what all this praise is about .

That's a good sized tire. I'm going to order some OE sizes for my car in the next couple of weeks.

Yes they are a meaty tire to run all around. They are Ian's old PS2s and have some wear left on them, I want to run them for a while and see how they perform before I order 245/4518 size tires for my X. The diameter is a bit small for my car, so I will have some extra wheel gap but I figure it's worth it to try them out for a while.

Okay, that explains it. Makes a lot of sense. I'm sure you'll like them.

They've only had PS2 sizes for me in the past 6 months and they still aren't listed on the Canadian Michelin site. Very expensive tires but I'm going to try em out.

I'll have to spend a fortune on alignments to keep them true.

Go Michelins...........

I've run various name brand tires over the years.....Goodyears let me down
Toyo's were scarey (like running slicks) Bridgestones great tires but only
lasted 10K miles Dunlops the tires turned a brown color after they got wet
Michelins great grip...quiet...long lasting and always looked good...what more
could you ask from a tire?

Wish I could afford the PS2's. I've tried nearly every other high-perf tire out there, but these, b/c they're so damn expensive. They're offered in so many sizes...I'd love to try a 265/30/19 & 295/30/19 combo...

If you are on a budget like myself, Falken FK452 would be some good tires to have. However, be warned that it would not be very comfortable in terms of noise level especially when they are worn after ~ the 60% tread mark.

As of the PS2... oh boy, they are some really great tires; they are so good that I now feel my suspension is now not good enough in putting the tires into its full potential (where it used to be the tires that show signs of giving up).

I was thinking about getting 245's in front and 255's in back instead of my stock 235 front 245 rear. I thought it would look pretty good without being overkill. Forgot to mention how quiet they are too, it's amazing! Yeah, I couldnt believe I was spending so much on tires, but once I tried them I will def. will be buying again.

Sorry I missed your reply until now. Nope, I just started there to look at specs but flipped over to Tire Rack when they didn't have rears shown. Once I started looking at CDN pricing I knew I'd be buying from south. Besides the exchange rates just keep getting better for us.

Edit: Tires just arrived here. I'll likely get them put on around the end of the month. Hmm, just looked at them. Don't seem to be directional like the PS1. Guess I can flip sides now.
