trying to decide on
Michelin Pilot Super Sport
PS2's (PS3 don't come in the size that will fit my setup)
Goodyear Assymetric 2

I had the original Assymetric. they weren't bad. but how are the super sports?
the hankooks I have now suck.

The Goodyears are very good but the Michelin's Pilot Super Sport is the best. Fantastic tires.

I had these last summer. What a blast to drive on.

I've had both the PS2 and PSS, and the PSS are a little stickier and didn't have the new tire slime factor that the PS2's had. It's nice to have the 15k mile tread warranty too, especially on my old M Coupe. The PSS also had a slightly stiffer sidewall than the PS2's, which I appreciated, the PS2's were a little soft.

awesome input, thank you! and thanks, Gill!

i was disappointed that the PS3 does not come in 225/40.

i guess i'll go with the PSS.

Made the switch to Michelin PSS and could not be happier. Excellent turn in, grip, and traction.

PSS is the only way to go. Those who think they are saving money by going with cheaper are missing a lot.
