I hate to say it but the Michelin tires have been absolutely perfect. Low road force numbers all the time requiring minimal weights for balancing! Awesome wear characteristics, low noise, and great grip! The price is crazy though!!

The P- Zero Nero tire has worn in nicely lasting longer then the Falken it replaced at similar mileage mark. Grip is alot better also! My only gripe is they are on back order right now.

The rear tires wore out sooooo fast. The fasted I ran through a tire ever. The front tires are wearing unevenly. Feathered tread causing that truck tire sound with vibration! I keep my tires perfect with pressure and use nitrogen so it boils down to low cost tire casing or rubber compound. Also I didn't think they had a really significant improvement over stock on the performance side. The price point is way to high for the quality. It also took a ton of weights to balance out the tires. Just my experience with them.

Thanks Kevr6. The PS2 is still under consideration then, for when I need to replace the OEM tires next year.

Here are a few reviews for the Falken. Exactly what I experienced!

I will be trying the Hankook Ventus in the future also!

My pops mentioned that one of his neighbors is a michellan test driver at their proving grounds.

Since super sports are made in japan(?) I'm sure he's tested them too. I might get a set after my DW's are done.

I have Hankooks on right now on my 20's. So far so good. Haven't been in the rain/puddles yet, so haven't experienced the awesome wet traction first hand. Would like to try Michelin Pilot Super Sports too some day...pretty pricey though.

On stocks, as soon as they are done; P-Zeros are next. Had them years back and they have ridiculous grip, loved them. My car is not a DD, so wear is not an issue.

this poll needs to include the new S04's and DW's.

i luv them both.
