I've got those too. Expensive but they are good tires. Good grip. Good ride. Good wear.

Michelin by far in my experiences. Had the bfg dr's and kd's and were not impressed at all. ps'2 are great though.

Lightbulb Quick Thoughts so far - I have less than 400 miles on them. (Michelin PS2's )

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/6085688-post48.html


In a nut shell, they seem a little softer than the OEM Contis , have no rim protector, but have better grip.

I have not tried them in the rain, but suspect they will be fine as I had no problems w/ the Contis in the rain , even though the fronts were at the wear bars.


Subjectively, I like the looks of the Contis better, but I was not willing to wait, and the car is quieter now on the road, and feels smoother.

The downside is that the Michelins are guarenteed for 20K of tread life , meaning that I may be lucky to get the same 21.5 K off these as the OEM tires.

Time will tell.


HTH's !!

If I were you I'd look at the new Michelin Pilot Super Sport - the 2nd generation of the PS2. It looks to have a 30,000mi warranty which I suspect you will get about 20,000mi.
