    Michelin Pilot Sports Installed

    Just replaced the factory Pirelli's with Michelin Pilot Sports from Tire Rack. They were about the same price factoring in the $70 rebate. I really like the tires and highly recommend them. For what it's worth.

    Another one sees the light.

    The Pirellis just don't hold a candle to the PS2's.

    Good to hear that you're happy with them.

    fwiw, they'll give you more notice of when they're about to let go than the Pirellis do and when they do let go, it's generally a smooth transition, not a sudden "Why am I sliding?"

    Duly noted! My factory tires were bald and the rear would easily slide out! A few scary episodes for sure. The new tires are like glue. Huge difference. Thanks for the info.

    Curious....How many miles did you get out of your Pirelli's? And was that under regular driving or did you track your car?

    The Pirelli Corsa is probably a better track tire than the PS2s.
