Do not aregue with Mr. Michelin:

Well, they have a 30,000 mile warranty, so you shouldn't have any problems getting a replacement set, right?

The 30,000 mile warranty does not apply if you have a staggered setup as in the Sport package. In this case, you get only 15,000 mile warranty. I got 13,500 miles on my first set of PSS rears.

Bought my set two months ago. Yes, 30K warranty UNLESS you have different sizes, then it's only 15K miles. I think it is because you can't rotate the tires.

DarkJak · 08-04-2013, 12:56 AM

Has anyone had experience claiming the warranty?

I've got about 5k miles on mine and maybe 30% left on the rears. Definitely not gonna make it to 15k. I've been driving pretty hard on them though.

did you make sure your alignment is good? having a misaligned toe will wear out the tire very quick!

Alignment looks good; on the +side for toe (i like mine that way)
Michelin tires are a lot lighter than the Bridgestone's-for max power to the road....i never owned a set yet;but i'm sure other member's will chime in.
Also,all tires take a break-in period.....Hopefully they were balanced well.
It may be helpful if you include the tire sizes.

Are you guys running the ZP tires?

markesc · 12-24-2016, 03:03 AM

Just bought my second set! Got roughly 20 months out of the last set..

Went slightly wider: 255/40 front - 285/35 rear. It looks exactly like what stock should have been for us simple folk...

super crappy iphone 6 photos (I want to run this pos phone over every time I use it..it just gets slower and slower with each and every OS update fu apple!):

Next up is Z1 2 piece rotor install (front/rear SPRINKLE slotted!!!) to make up for the weight penalty of the tires...

I recently installed these on my G37 IPL and have to say they are far, far more compliant than the OEM Bridgestones. I run 33psi front and rear with a square setup, 255's all around. Straight line traction, even with -1.6 degrees camber in back is substantially better. I feel as though I could dial up my dampers a few clicks. I was to the point where I was ready to spend $2K plus on a new limited slip differential.

The noise level is also greatly diminished and seems to be in a different frequency range. I ended up saving four pounds for each front wheel and six for each rear. Even with wider rubber.

I have to recalibrate my brain as the ride says these tires are soft but turn-in is just as good, they stick a bit better in the corners and are even more predictable when they break traction. klj
