Tire Buyer.com

Linked through ebates.com = 5% rebate
Use code "retailmenot12"= 12% off
Michelin rebate = $70

Net delivered after rebates was under $1,300 for the set. Mine were 285/315's though.

I had my new tires installed yesterday and they are awesome. I will post pics as soon as I can.

I'm thinking about selling my near new F1 tires for the Michelins. Can anyone tell me which one and what size for the fronts and rears?

I love mine!

Glad you like them, Knew you would!!!

Oh heck no, you won't get any nagging from me. These tires and the chosen size are perfect for these cars.

I checked my car's speedo along with my GPS at 55mph and they were only off by a little over 1mph. That tells me going from the stock 305 to the 315 affects the speedo's accuracy very minimal.

Did you get the 295's in front, Costco told me they could get 285's but no 295's. Do you have a part #?

I don't have a part number but these are the 295 fronts and these are the 315 rears from Tirerack.

Thanks!

I took these two shots comparing the difference in size between the rear and front. The tires on the left are the Goodyears.

I need to see if they hook up any at all drag racing. I get tired of switching out to my dr's.

Michelin PSS is the one to have. Period.

WELCOME TO THE PSS FAMILY! LONG LIVE THE SUPER SPORTS!! I got mine back in November and I've loved them ever since. I've already put more miles on them than I had on my GYs and they still have more tread left.

I sold my stock tires. I will post some pics after I clean the car this weekend. These daily showers we have make it almost impossible to keep my car clean.
