I'm in the market for a new set of tires. Handling/Braking are the most important features for me, followed by Rolling Resistance, Tread Life then Noise. I will be running 215/40/17 and 255/35/18 (could go to 235/265 if nec) and am considering the following:
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s (235/265)
Pirelli PZeros (235/265)
Falken 452 (215/255)
I was all set to go with the PS2s given their reputation and rating, but have been told that Michelin's are not all that grippy in colder climates (Vancouver BC Canada - 3 hrs North of Seattle). I'm thinking of trying the Falkens as they are about 1/2 the price of the Michelins and I'm told offer similar performance.
I need grip for high-speed canyon carving during the Spring/Summer/Autumn months. Great roads here in BC, but unforgiving.
Any thoughts?
