FRom talking to people and reading posts, the Michelin PSS seem to be an absolute no-brainer.
Some other tires have people who like and not, but it seems everyone likes the PSS.

Sorry a little off-topic, just an anecdote on this thread about tires. It's 12 degrees F here in the Boston area tonight and my OEM Michelin PS2's had no traction, in any gear lol. Summer tires + 12 degrees = hockey pucks

I put the Hankook V12's on today. I must say I'm very impressed with them. For the $930 installed they cost, it's a great tire! No tracking this car so it's really just puttzing around town. They're certainly fine for that and more IMO.

+1 on the Hankook V12s. I've been really pleased with mine, especially for the price. I've seen a lot of them at PCA DE events, btw.

Michelin PSS! Put about 5k on them. Awesome tires. Quiet with great handling. When Micheline came out with the the PSS that had longer wear and just as quiet - yet much cheaper than a PS2- they really made a winner. Very uncharacteristic of Michelin, which always made a very good tire that was incredibly overpriced.

But they're sitting in the basement now! Riding on Pirelli Sotto Zeros.

What do you think the price of the PSS would be if they had the N stamp on them?

I went with the Falken FK 453's.
8k miles, 50% tread left.
Love them!
