Had Falken 452 (feathered wear)...they suck!! Had Kumhos on past car (after 5k performance drops off)...sucked! Had Bridgestone Potenza before...good tire but wore quick. Had BF Goodrich KDW...great tire for the price!! Had Mich PS2 before...perfect all around tire but awful price point! Currently running P-ZeroNero...loving them so far!!

So between the Michelin PS2 and Pirelli P-Zero, from a performance, handling and road noise point of view, which do you like better?

I hate to say it but the Michelin tires have been absolutely perfect. Low road force numbers all the time requiring minimal weights for balancing! Awesome wear characteristics, low noise, and great grip! The price is crazy though!!

The P- Zero Nero tire has worn in nicely lasting longer then the Falken it replaced at similar mileage mark. Grip is alot better also! My only gripe is they are on back order right now.

The rear tires wore out sooooo fast. The fasted I ran through a tire ever. The front tires are wearing unevenly. Feathered tread causing that truck tire sound with vibration! I keep my tires perfect with pressure and use nitrogen so it boils down to low cost tire casing or rubber compound. Also I didn't think they had a really significant improvement over stock on the performance side. The price point is way to high for the quality. It also took a ton of weights to balance out the tires. Just my experience with them.

Thanks Kevr6. The PS2 is still under consideration then, for when I need to replace the OEM tires next year.

Here are a few reviews for the Falken. Exactly what I experienced!

I will be trying the Hankook Ventus in the future also!

Now, I never had my car on the racetrack, and I had the wheels alignment checked and they were slightly off. The shop manager is telling me that because the tire softness rating is 140, that 6,000 miles is normal for this tire. Is he snowing me?

Something is wrong I have 14K miles on mine and 2 track days and have plenty left for daily driving and maybe a few more track days. That can't be normal the alignment must have chewed through the left rear.

I am running Pilot Super Sports and they impress me with every drive I take.

My pops mentioned that one of his neighbors is a michellan test driver at their proving grounds. :D

Since super sports are made in japan(?) I'm sure he's tested them too. I might get a set after my DW's are done. :p

I have Hankooks on right now on my 20's. So far so good. Haven't been in the rain/puddles yet, so haven't experienced the awesome wet traction first hand. Would like to try Michelin Pilot Super Sports too some day...pretty pricey though.

On stocks, as soon as they are done; P-Zeros are next. Had them years back and they have ridiculous grip, loved them. My car is not a DD, so wear is not an issue.
