Yay! installed new tires today. Michelin pilot sport ps2
the way the tread pattern works is a bit odd...
you can see what I mean from the photos.

Here are my thoughts from a 15 mile trip around town (in town traffic, couple turns, 60-85mph cruising on highway, couple 'off ramps')
they have great road feel (in otherwords... you can feel everything lol) but they arn't harsh by anymeans. They are every so slightly more noisy than the oem conti's... maybe a couple dBs if that. Only over rough pavement though.
Handling is very sharp and grippy, different from the conti's... gonna have to get used to it lol!!!
They are also a bit wiggly at times... but then again my conti's were too... I think its an air pressure issue more than anything. Need to play around with that!
I'm thinking they'll be better once they break in too.
What does everyone else run their air pressure at?

Good choice Dani >>>
So far my fav tires have been the Potenza SO3's and have been thinking about these or the Pirelle Nero's as my next set.
Some of the tire wiggle may just be since they are new and need to scrub off a bit. I am hoping these should edge out the SO3s considering Michelin is beating the cr*p out of Bridgestone in the F1 season this year
Good luck and do let us know how they feel once you have more miles on them.

My F1s felt squirmy for a few days when I got them. It went away and I still love em, but>>
I'm coming due again and considering PS2s just to try something different than last time.
BTW I'm still crankin the hell outta the speakers you sold me so many moons ago.
