Finally - The Michelin PS2s Are Here!

I called Michelin Customer Assistance earlier today and our front sizes (265/40/17) are now in production - even Tire Rack did not know until I called 'em! The part number is 44359. As you know, the rear sizes are already available. Call Conner at Tire Rack - extension 269. The news keeps getting better - stock GY rear tire weight is 33 lbs, the Michelin rears are 27 lbs, that is a big unsprung weight reduction!

I have been waiting for this news for months, as I am sure some of you have been. If these tires are good enough to be used by LPE and Mallet on their tuner packages, and by production cars such as the Porsche GT2 and GT3, they are good enough fer ol' blue...

Since Tire Rack is a supporting vendor, I'm assuming you could post the price.

I hate calling them just to ask.

I believe the fronts will go for about $265 each and the rears will run around $335 each. I talked to both the LPE and Mallet folks at Carlisle about these tires they are using on their packages and they both think very highly of them...

The PS2 are very nice tires. They are $$$ like most other Michelins but well worth it from what I've been told. Luckily, I've got some good tread left on the F1SC's... but I'll be going with PS2s or Toyos.
