OK, so here's a Murphy's Law story …
I checked around at a few places - I'm pretty much set on going with the Michelin PS2 ZP's - after running Michelins at Spring Mountain, I was pretty much sold on Michelin.
So I call around, and Tire Rack had the best (if you want to call it that for Michelin's) price, but I wanted to still do some comparisons. Decided to go with Tire Rack - dealing with the HQ in South Bend.
Called back this morning to set up coming in, and now they're out of stock!!!!!! AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
… go figure
SO - anyone know of a place - by chance - that have the PS2 ZP's in the OEM sizes in the local Chicago market??

I plan on getting BFG Rivals for my ride this year, but if I were going a little less hardcore I'd get the pilot super sports.

BFG g-force rival vs ps2 I have ps2, is BFG worth considering? Much cheaper alternative.

Looks like Michelin is the only choice if you wanted to go 345 on rears.
