I ditched my run flats a few months ago and got the Michelin PS2's. Much better overall, only thing I miss is the razor sharp turning of the rigid run-flat sidewall. Any recommendations on tire pressure for that similar effect with the PS2? I have:
Tire Size: 245/40R-18 (front)
275/35R-18 (rear)

Same as before is best, do not increase the pressures you will get a hard ride and excessive tyre wear.

I run my 124's at 36psi front and 37psi rear... Slightly above minimum recommended.

Best thing is to experiment within the given limits...

The only way you're going come close to this is by running a higher tire pressure.

What kind of pressure do you currently run? Try something like 38/39, but experiment to see what suits your taste.
