Some vehicles come from the vehicle manufacturer with “split fitments”— meaning different size tires on the front and rear axles. Because these tires cannot be rotated as recommended by Michelin, the mileage warranty on each rear tire will cover half the number of miles as the standard mileage warranty for that particular tire design. ZP (Zero Pressure) tires have the same mileage warranty as the standard tire line they are part of, but not to exceed 30,000-miles. PAX ® System tires are covered by a 36,000-mile warranty. MICHELIN ® Winter tires require documentation of the timing of the installation and removal of the tires each winter to maintain coverage under the limited warranty for tread wear. Winter months is defined as the period beginning on or after September 1 of a given year, and ending no later than April 30 of the following year.
Are you guys sure you can claim warranty on tires? it says that you can only claim the warranty if the tire came as OE

man, drove in pouring rain yesterday (to the point where some roads got flooded) and the tires didn't complain once. I'm really loving these tires for daily driving. The noise issue I had initially seems to have gone away.

2012 C63 Coupe. Eurocharged, Charcoal Filters Removed, R-S3 Tires
I switched from Hankook R-S3 to Michelin PSS one week ago. The traction is way more superior!!! I just love this tire.
Attached are the pics of my rear R-S3.

On that note, people in miami just aren't very friendly. I've waved to so many amg's and they look at me like I'm a weirdo. Although there have been a rare few who recognize and wave back! Bmw owners however just make it seem like they don't see you.
Looking forward on these tires when time comes to replace the rears. Seems crazy how these tires have such an overwhelmingly positive response.

What's wrong with those people?!...I guess some of them are like that. That's alright, those of us who will wave back will wave at each other. Screw the rest of those unfriendly ones.

Update on the warranty as I had to use it today for my PSS 275/35/18's.
I've put about 14,000 miles on them and they are worn. Took the car to Tire Rack where I bought the tires about the mileage warranty and getting new tires. Seems they prorate based on the mileage expected (15,000 miles since we're staggered and can't rotate).
I'm basically getting 1 tire free and paying for the 2nd tire. Still not too bad of a deal.

If so, that is a crazy good deal.
How worn were those old tires?

If your looking for straight line/ cornering dry grip and don't want to put a full Track tire it's one of the best if not the best choice

I'm just curious how much traction you guys are getting with the PSS? I just got my car a couple months ago and today is the warmest day since I got them which is about 18c(65f) and I noticed today that with stock non performance package car they almost dead hook from a stop. They're 265s. They kind of squeal and slip a bit but barely at all. I know this tires are pretty bad with traction in cold weather but today the car almost feels like a dog and I'm thinking they're just hooking better since it's warmed up a bit. If I wanted to do a nice long burnout today I'd probably have to preload the car up with brake a bit first or they'd def hook right away. It seems like with a ton and the better throttle response that I'd get from a tune that they'd probably just shred from a dead stop. Does that sound right?
