I've been reading threads all afternoon with the words "OEM," "19," and "tire" in them... I got to the 10th page of threads and stopped. so far it seems that the michellin sport ps2s are definitely really nice tires, but falken 452s are good for the money (as are toyo t1rs, but, as i said earlier, i'm straying away from them).
right now, i'm waiting for a call from a guy to see what he can do about pricing for a whole set of sport ps2s.... if it doesn't come out better than $1380, then I might just go with the falkens. An extra $500 sure would be nice.
I don't think I'm going to go with another set of stock potenzas.. I want to try something else.
much appreciated for all the replies; keep 'em coming if you have one. (:

From what I've been reading on this thread, everyone has offered up their opinions and you're still set on the PS2s... I say pull the trigger. You'll like the tires and as long as you're okay with only getting 15-18K on the rears, go for it. But like any other tire, the PS2s get nice and loud once they are reaching the end of their life.

Yes, I think I am going with the PS2s. I've called numerous shops to find the best price and am waiting for a guy to call me back.
Maybe I'm deaf, but I don't notice any tire roar from my stock Potenzas, despite the fact that they need to be changed out... according to my recent multi-point inspection from the dealer, I have 6/32 tread life left on my rear tires, and I really don't hear anything.
The car won't be seeing many miles in the nearer future, as I'm going off to college soon.
Thank you all for your input, it's helped me a lot in my decision.
Suggestions/advice is still welcome.
