I have Mich PS2s and love them.

235/35-19 Front
295/30-19 Rear

They are sticking like glue and the rears offer a little comfort.

ps2s are pretty much the de facto standard these days for great street tires. i also like Bridgey RE050A PPs.

All of 'em scream when they get down to 4 or 5/32nds. My experience with Conti's was very good, however, they are hard to find (ContiSportContac2's). PS2's are probably the best..........but they do get very hard at 50% treadwear. I just put PZeros on my '02 C4 Cab. So far, so good but only about 1,000 miles. It's my first experience with Pirellis. Will keep you posted.
Go Gators!

I do not like the Pirelli's - Noisy and slippery when they wear down a bit. Also a problem with flatspotting when sitting overnight. Go PS2.
I hear the Veredestein Ultracs are getting solid + reviews, and are low priced. Might be worth a look. Tread pattern is pretty nice too.

I have Conti-Sport2s...great tires IMO. Great for summer and the occasional wet that we get here in SoCal

Against the grain over here Yoko Advan AD07 is the best I have ever had (including PS2)

Ps2! Ps2!

I just mounted a set of PS2s on my street wheels...these tires are UN-BELIEVABLE!

P.S. - Pirelli's SUCK.
