Have done for the last 2.5 years. Awsome grip and very quiet, and they look tough too.I have 19's they cost me 320-340 a corner. They also come in 235/17 Edited 11/12/08 03:23 AM by ENVY-T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good tyre no doubt, but no where near as good as the PS2's I had previously nor the PP2's I ran on the Falcon. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know the treadwear & traction rating on the Michelins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aiboart Member 665 Member For: 19y 9m 28d Posted 11/12/08 08:27 PM Share Posted 11/12/08 08:27 PM The analogy referred to Cro's relentless and unbridled enthusiasm and promotion of his favorite tyre.It is always great to see some into their chosen passion. I thoroughly enjoy and anticipate Cro's responses whenever the tyre topic is raised.Certainly no offence was contemplated or meant; from my perspective I really do not see how this could be inferred. The Michelin man is one of the worlds most respected and trusted icons; I think it is consistently #1 in fondness and trust ratings.

Not realy complaining though, they have been good tyres for a long time now. Im still debating which tyres to get on my standard 17'sCheers DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
