Tires - Which Brand (Mich. or Bridgestones)?

Fixing to mount some 20's on the Ride. Most people in this forum seem to be getting the SO-3's. Question is should I go with the SO-3's or the Pilot Sport PS2's? Both look good and have about equal potentials I am sure. Anyone actually compare these driving before? Any thougths? Thanks!

Coupe michelin pilot's are the worst tires I have ever owned.
Don't expect to get any type of warranty service from Michelin.

Michelin has a serious **** you....basically all sales are final attitude when it comes to warranty issues on their tires.

I had Michelin Pilot Sports All Season tires put on my wheels with 19" rims and they are really good. They grip well to the road and it rides pretty smooth. On the negative side, these tires are really expensive. I paid 1700 alone for all four tires.

Check tirerack's ratings first. They have size info, etc.

Guys, the PS2's are brand new. They are supposed to out perform all other max performance tires. I am getting them for my new 19's. If I were you, I would get those or the GS-D3's. I like the SO-3's--I had them on my cobra, but I didn't like the tread wear or the way they followed all road imperfections. I don't think the PS-2's will be better on the tread wear, but for the performance they are supposed to offer, I am definitely getting them. Check out tire rack.
