Michelin PS2 335/35/17 back in production - Page 3 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Bob Eyres · 09-30-2016

What kind of wear do you get out of these Michelins?
The Michelins I have on other cars get amazing long tread life, so much so that I've had to change them out because of age long before they wear out.
The Pilot Sports must be a much softer compound to be "sticky".

I'd love to get that 335 size for the rear, but not at twice the price of my 315 Toyo R888's.
If Toyo made that tire in the 335 size, there would be no need for Drag Radials

The 335/35/17 is a wide assed combo on the 17x13" Viper wheels.
Whats the fitment like on the 17x11" ZR-1 rims? Do they wear outr the centers of the tread?

Too bad the Vredersteins are no more.

The BFG drag radial was a nice sticky tire, including the 315/35/17.

I seem to recall the Toyo R1R was better shaved, it is still favored in some sizes where the others aren't available. It's now been long enough since I used street rubber that I forget LOL!

Best,

The Michelin 335’s needs a rim in the range of 11-13” according to Michelin. They are available at Discount Tire Direct for $372.99 each with free shipping and if you buy 4 Michelin’s there is a mail in rebate of $17.50 each. Net price is $355.49. Sam’s club has them as a special order for $406 each and Tire Rack has them for $385.15 plus shipping costs of $17.35 (dependent on your zip code) for a net total of $402.05

Did you talk to them? Discount Direct website says out of stock and tire rack.com doesn't show Michelin 335 30 18.

Never mind. This is for 335 35 17.

Just went shopping for fronts. I was hoping for the PS2's. Unavailable. Ended up with the Continental Extreme Contact. We shall see.

I can report that the Nitto 555 G2s are significantly better in the rain. Where my 555s would start to 'float" much above 48mph when sheeting (est. 1/4" to 1cm or 3/8"), where the "G2s" continued to grip perhaps 10 to 15 mph beyond the point the 555s dared to go.

This is anecdotal for sure, but my personal observations while driving in heavy rain while riding on 555s following Robert DeMarco's GS riding on "G2s". My next set of front tires will be the "G2s". (555r on the rear).

Paul, are you saying the Nitto 555 compared to Nitto 555 G2?
