Michelin Pilot Sport 2 available again

[dredgeguy]

Checked with Costco and they are now available again. They are 335/35ZR17 in the rear and 275/40ZR17 for the front. This is the combo I have had on mine for a couple of years and very pleased with wet/dry performance and just a real nice ride. Price for the rears are $367.99 and $327.99 for the front. Add $15/tire for install and lifetime balance. Includes road hazard insurance as well.
Every other month they also have a $70 off coupon for a set of 4.
Just another option now available again.

Best street tire available for stock wheels.

Agree 100%. Expensive tire but as the saying go's "you get what you pay for".

[JThomas]

I know this has been asked before, but how is the fitment of the 335 on the stock rear wheel? Does it rub the inner wheel well? Is it too close to the edge of the fender? Does it actually fit the rim properly or should it be on a 12 inch wide wheel?

Thanks for any feedback. Any pictures of how the tire/wheel looks on the car would be appreciated. (Stock sized wheels) :cheers:

[efnfast]

Joe, I had them on my stock rims on my 90. No issues at all. Liked them much more than the Eagle F1's I replaced them with.

[VetteFantasy]

Good to know they're back! I've heard Michelins tend to run narrow, so it makes sense that they'd fit fine.

[Z51JEFF]

I just sold a pair of these in a 275-35-18 with 700 miles for $300,I didn't think I was ever going to get rid of these things.

Thanks for the feedback, it is a tire I'm considering but was concerned about the 335 fitment. :cheers:

I appreciate your input Phil. :cheers:

[dredgeguy]

I think they look good mounted. Just a hair taller than stock size so at 65 MPH your speed will be off by about 2-3 MPH. Just have to remember that for the speed cameras in MD and VA. I will take some photos to show them but they are nice and wide.

[FU]

The 335's fit perfectly. No worries about the fitment at all.

Phil are these quieter than the GY F1s ?

May I ask why ? I have always ran these vs the crap sumitomo's they look meaner and have the awesome big tread. Are the Pilot sports quieter? Have better grip? GC

[efnfast]

Way better grip. Didn't notice a difference in noise, but didn't care about noise either. Other than squelling tires.

[henryr]

i thought costco had a thing about installing non stock tires sizes ?

[Jagdpanzer]

Yes, less running noise and in my opinion better handling.

[ZRapid-1]

Traction is outstanding - dry and wet.

They are super wide and look great on the car too.

Thanks for the pictures, that helps a lot! :handshak:

[efnfast]

My tire guy tells me they are being discontinued. To be replaced with the S4's. The S4's are not yet available in our size.
I may spring for a set of PS2's when I get back from BG.

After spending time on the track, you will need to:cheers:

That is true but as long as you are within some percentage of the original and the front and rear are an acceptable pairing, they will go with it.

Just wow . Those new tires are amazing . The car is a lot quieter and whole lot smoother . It almost felt like the C6 . Our other tires were just at the wear bars and since we had no idea when they were installed by the previous owner I am guessing they had become hockey pucks . They sure felt like it lol ...
Very very happy with the install from Nurse Chevrolet . They informed us the rims have a bit of surface rust inside the rim so a new set may be in the picture if these begins to show leakage .

;) ;) ;)

Only time I was in the rain was during last year BG trip and we were going 70-75 mph with no issues.

[Tripler]

Got caught in heavy rain last year with the older pilots which were just replaced and felt no issues with traction yet cars around me were hydroplaining and I was not so yes , there good in the rain .

Great tires. No probs here, in our weather anyway.

[Fully Vetted]

I love my PS's but I'm dead in the water with a nail through the sidewall and now they don't come in a 335/30ZR18 anymore. I had to switch to Pirelli Rosso's. Got them from Tire Rack. Hopefully, they get here in time to go to BG.

[diamond zr1]

David/I have a set of Michelins 335/30/18 mounted on oz wheels//the pair are 10 years old but look new/welcome to run them if you need/can send pictures/they are spare for my callaway cr1

Sumitomos are NOT crap.....1st not everyone has 1600 bucks laying around for new Goodyear's. 2nd, I'd like to know why you think they are crap? I love mine....tread has held up over 2 years of hard driving. There is virtually no road noise from these Sumos. Grip is just fine for me, I don't track my car and don't plan on it. I have never had any issue with mine.

My Z's are daily drivers. The tires (sumitomos) have exceedingly poor treadwear. Maybe it's the heat in Arizona? They have a smaller profile than any other tire that fits our Z and they are the tire you would expect to find on a potential car you plan on buying so the seller can state the car has new tires. Your mileage may vary however they are what they are cheap tires.

My Beast is a daily driver over the past 2 summers. Rain or shine, in fact it is a downpour this morning and my Z drove beautifully. My treadwear is non existent, I bought the Sumos when I bought the car 2 years ago...... and that was followed by about a week of random burnouts :) The Arizona heat could be a factor, so could driving styles. We can agree to disagree on this one. I know that Goodyear probably makes a better tire than Sumos. But from my seat time, I think they are a great quiet road tire, with a smooth ride.
