PS2's Going On Tomorrow

[Obsidian]

Based upon everyone's feedback, I ordered a new set of Michelin PS2's. They arrived today and go on tomorrow. I will report back on the experience.... in the meantime, I need to burn up my existing tires.

Night and day difference for me. Granted mine only had 3k miles on them they were still the originals from '96. My car is a whole lot less scary to say the least!

I'm having mine put on tomorrow!!!! Also replaced my battery while I have the rear tire off.

The PS2's are on. I took it out for a short drive today. Felt good. I want to give it a few runs to settle in... since they didn't feel as sticky as everyone is saying they are. Otherwise, they rode smooth as a whistle. I will get some leg work in on them this weekend and see.

The biggest difference for me was the lack of dartiness with the new ps2's. The car is so much nicer to drive now.

The tires may still have some of the protective coating on them. A nice burnout should take care of the rears, but I wouldn't go taking any fast corners until the fronts get 100 or so miles on them.

I agree. Most noticeable difference for me too.

The Year Matters....

All years report better handling and grip, much less wandering / dartiness (TDS) and faster lap times.
But only SRT owners 03-06 that had RunCraps as OE report a greatly improved RIDE as well.
The PS2 has a more supple sidewall, that gives a better ride than SRT runflats. Gen1-2 guys dont notice.

PartsRack invariably has the lowest prices, and we are also alerting you to incerases: May 1 is a $30 increase on PS2 sets......

No pictures of using up the old tires? Please say it isn't so.
That's the best part.....

No pictures of me burning up the tires... end's up that I am a big *****.

I just put a set on my GTS also this week.

Can't wait to take it out this weekend! My old tires had a yr 2000 date on them hahaa

 

[bvk]

yep, had mine on for a month (only 60 miles though) thanks to Jon B, great deal and very fast service.

I'm giving them a proper scrub in at thunderhill in May, looking forward to seeing how they perform under my penske coilovers on the track.

One of my best mods to date!

 

[slysnake]

I thought they wouldn't be available this soon. Hope mine get shipped soon.

 

[GavinM]

new owner, just ordered them from Jon B as well. definetly looking to improve the "dartiness"

I when for a cruise with them on today. Noticeably a better ride. I didn't lean into them at all (the wifey was with me). But so far, I am very impressed. It does feel like a brand new car.
