Need new Tires!!
Michelin is not making Michelin Pilot Sports in size of original equipment for my 1994 Convertible which is what I like. Any suggestions for replacement tires???
Thanks

Wow, did not know they dropped them. I just put a set of PS2s on my 1995 (2 months maybe). Great tires. Nice ride and handling, super quiet.
If you can still get them, get em'. You won't be sorry.

They are nice; I've been running them on all four for about 2 years; the best tires thus far.....pricey, but like everything else..

I just put Continental DW's on my 93. Great tires at a reasonable price compared to Goodyear Eagles, Michelin's etc. I only put about 3K miles a year on the car and couldn't see spending the money. The Continental DW tires I got are made in Germany if that matters.

I put BFG G-Force Sport tires on my '90 Vette 275X40X17 all around and they are the best tires I've had on that car. The Sport has been replaced by the G-Force Sport Comp-2 and I don't know how those tires measure-up to the originals.

I have Nitto 555 Extremes on my '95
and they are awesome! Good wear, traction
and handling. Priced right at Discount Tire.

I'll go with the Nitto 555--put em on our 95--great wet tire--soft enough at 300 for auto x. If you want more performance go with the Nitto 05 (200) tread rating or the Nitto 01 (100 tread rating) Mike
