When you drive fast on the freeway do you still feel like you have the precision to manuever around without feeling insecure? I am considering the Michelin PSS 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 on stock suspension and wheels. Can anyone speak to this?
I think IF you go with the Michelin's... they are top ultra performance tires - and you will be happy with them. I am.

While I do think switching from RFT to non RFT - you do loose a touch of turn-in response... in all other areas you just gain so much in ride comfort, grip, and a lot less of a bumpy/jumpy ride. I am happy with my PS3's. Btw... I have driven to about 180 mph with the PS3's and I feel totally comfortable with them at speed.
