Tires
I think the Potenzas for the lesser cost are the way to go, just my opinion. I've had the Michelins and noticed no difference for about 30% more money, plus the larger lugs on the outside tend to get noisier as the tires wear, again, JMO

I've got Michelin PS2's on the rear and loved them for wet and dry traction, noise and comfort.
Wear is another issue, they're rated 220 for wear ... I got 5,000 miles out of them.

Does 5,000 miles seem low to anyone else? I've been to the track exactly once with them and had 5 passes, no burn outs.
I may try the Eagle F1 GS-D3 or Potenza RE050A Pole Position - both tires are rated equally high as the PS2.
