Michelin

Frankly, they (Michelin) are the ONLY tires that I will have on a car. Always had them, probably always will. They are on my E now (275 and 235). Love them! The sport 2's are currently at 34k and still lookling good - not great - but good!

A SL55 delivered 8/18/07, and an E55 wagon delivered 5/11/05
One possible problem, I also want to put PS2's on my car, I have been checking Tirerack site for 2months now and it keeps showing the rear tires on back order. I Emailed Luke who responded Michilin has not released the size we need for rear tires yet and he is not sure when they will. If anyone knows where to order these tires let me know Wolf

I am not a fan of Michelins in general. Overpriced, average (at best) grip in the dry even worse in the wet. Michelins are no where near the best tires. They are probably the truest to round tires but not the best in any other measure.

That being said I have only heard good things about the PS2's and will probably go with them when I have to replace my tires. Currently these are the only Michelins I would consider putting on any car I own.

I've got PS2s on my 911 at the moment, and they are good. They are quite expensive though.

I have PS2's on my SL55 and I think they are great...I had to wait about 4 months to get the tires though. They were backordered.

I had PS2's on my Porsche GT3 as OE and had nothing but problems. I will never buy another Michelin again. Their customer service is terrible and they were useless in trying to come up with a solution. They went as far as to blame me for their defective tires! I'll take Pirelli any day over Michelin.
