I finally did it and replaced the GY's with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S with ZP. What a difference in the ride! Very quiet too. I should have done this sooner. Thanks to all, for the posts on different tires here. Lots of good info and opinions.

Agreed. It makes a huge difference. I can't wait till my front GY's wear out so I can put the Michelin's on the front too. They were pretty much brand new when I got the Miichelins on the rear and I couldn't bring myself to throw them away.

How does the tread width of your new Michelins compare to that of your GY's?

I've heard that the Michelins are quite a bit narrower of actual tread width than the GY EMT's.

I paid $1128 for the 4 from tire rack and another 200 to have the local porsche dealer mount and balance them.
