Time for new tires

[Sammy]

My vote is for Goodyear F1's which can be had for a similar price. When it drops below 50 they do get exciting but other than that I'm thoroughly impressed with them.

I love my 19" Michelin PS2's. These are OEM.

Great wet & dry traction. I don't hear any excessive noise. After 15,000 miles I still have about 5-6/32's tread on the fronts and about 3-4/32's on the rears. When new they have 10/32's.

I do expect to buy 2 new rear tires next summer, and then fronts in 2009. I will replace with the PS2's.

I do find, particularly with the rear tires, that 1 or 1.5 PSI makes a big difference in bite and traction.

Sammy, I think Goodyear makes 2 different types of F1s. Based on your comment about "below 50", I think you're talking about the GS-D3s (which I have on the rear now and hope someday to have on the front ). If those are what you mean, it's good to know someone who has experience with them is impressed.

I believe they also make an F1 all-season radial which I was thinking of for the winter here in the Northwest, but I'm not planning on pushing the car hard in the rainy/cold season and decided on the much cheaper Kumho ASXs instead. Back to the F1 Gs-D3s in the spring.

I recommend keeping the Pzero's....$900 is a fair price if that includes everything. You didn't say what size your tires were....I have heard great things about Kumho tires....YMMV.
