Good grief, the tires

[efnfast]

I'll be putting a set of 335 PS2's on the rear this spring. We'll see how it goes. The rears seem to wear out so much faster than the fronts.

Thanks Rick, I thought they only made wooden sneakers in holland

just kidding I hope I don't get hammered too bad on that one.

Can you get the these tires at Tire Rack or some other source.

I've bought two sets from them in the last 6 years. They always arrived in 4 days of the transaction. If you don't see the sizes your looking for just pm him and he'll have them all the way up to 335.

I too have the Vredsteins and can't say enough good things about these tires. Here's the East coast supplier I used with 2 day shipping. These tires grip amazingly well off the line and in wet and dry.very smooth quiet ride.

I think I am going to go with the 335 Michelin PS2s.

I don't think you'll go wrong with the Michelin PS2!

I'm curious about contact patch width of the various tires. My 315 D3s measure a full 12 inches in contact with the ground, 335 PS2s only measured 11.25 inches. I have been thinking about the Nitto 555 EPs 315, can someone tell me how wide they are?

If no one posts by the time I get home from work, I'll post actual measurement off my new, mounted NT555s (not sure what EPs are) on stock wheels. The Nitto website should have the tech data, but I know what you mean about real numbers.

How much better are PS2s that Pilot Sports? The regular Michelin Pilot Sports suck and I need to replace them on my 18" CCW wheels. Thanks!

The ET = Extreme Performance
I was really surprised when I measured the 335 Michelin's and found out how skinny they were.
Thanks
