Default Michelin Pilot PS 2 SWEEEET

Went to Tirerack yesterday and had Michelin PS 2's put on. What a difference in ride and noise level. Everything I've heard is true about how well they ride.

Luke, Thanks for the tour, it was nice of you to take the time to show me around and it was good to meet you.

I second that emotion!
Had a mostly (but not totally) worn set of PS A/S on my 03 Coupe - went to the PS2 and the ride/handling/noise are like a brand new car! Pricey but an excellent choice.

I am looking at replacing my original goodyears with Michelin pilot sport PS2. Are these run flat tires? The dealer I called said they don't make a PS2 run-flat in 275/40R18 yet. Is this true?

Yes, thats true. Buy the emergency tire kit. It's a 12v compressor with sealant if needed. If you contact Luke at tire rack he can explain it much betterhan I.

Do we all buy our tires from Luke at Tire Rack? The guy should be able to buy a new ZR1 by now. Damn. He is good though.
