PS2's have a very good reputation, they are great for everyday driving in warm weather climates. I run Pilot Sport all seasons and am very happy with them. I have had many different brands of tires including Continental, Dunlop, Pirelli. Bridgestone...
Michelin's are always my favorite but I have also had good experiences with Pirelli Pzeros. Other brands have been OK but I prefer the ride and handling characteristics of the Michelins best. They are expensive but I think they are worth it.

Recently replaced my Bridgestone RFT with Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season. So far i'm liking them a lot. Rides nicer, quieter and i don't get that floaty/drifting feel when I hit bumps on the rd.
Ditching RFT was the best thing I've done on this car.

I am probably going tp get Michelin PS2's. Do they ride harsh?
try the ContiSport tires by Continental, i'm in love with them, excellent grip, smooth ride, the whole works.

My Ride: 535d M Sport / Carbon Black Metallic / Aluminium cube / black leather sports seats / Prof. SatNav / Bluetooth.
I swapped my Dunlop runflats for PS2's and the difference is amazing. I now have around 7,000 miles on them in what has been a very wet British summer. Great for just cruising the motorway or blasting round country lanes. Quieter, smoother, grippier.
Haven't heard that they are worse when worn - these are the standard tyreson the M series here.
They were a bit more expensive but so far have been just the job.

I used to be a fan of run-flats because I liked the harsh driving feel. But, recently it started raining down here in Florida, and I got a glimpse of just how bad the traction on these things is. My stability control icon blinked 5 times on the way home last night, I wasn't even in sport mode, just driving normally. Twice at the stoplight, once while making a U-turn. Once while taking a left turn into my community, going about 25-30mph. And once more in my community at a stop sign. I really don't feel very safe with these Bridgestone Potenza tires. I want to get normal tires, Michelin would be good. I have heard mixed feeling about the PS2's. Can someone give my some suggestions on good tires? I don't need racing tires, just tires that will stick to the road.
Thank you.
