Which Michelins?

Hey 'fellas. I'm in the market for some tires and have been looking at the Michelins, just not sure which to pursue. Anyone have any input on which to get. Also I live in Vegas and on stock rims (BBS). Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks in advance

PS2 is a great tire, just not cheap. in vegas you don't get much rain so there are plenty of other tires for a lot less money that meet your needs.

why not the trusted falken 615? what kind of driving do you do?

I thinking about the Yoko S-drives based on the price and the reviews on tire rack. Thoughts?

I have only gotten about 13k miles out of the Stock Yoko's

again, without stating how and where you drive your evo it's impossible to say what tire fits your needs.

I have the Pilot Sport SP2. They are OK, not great. If you have the Advans they are a step down for sure but cheaper. I would go with something else...like Advans or the Kumho Ecsta MX if you want to save money

The stock Advans ride like crap. There sticky as hell but they suck for a DD, sorry.
The Michelin has a soft sidewall so it rides way better. There great in the wet too, but you don't need that. If I were you I would try BFG KD, not KDW. I think there like $150ea. But thats me...

PS2 has been a pretty solid performer for quite some time. However, you may want to check out the B-Stone RE050A Pole Position. Great dry/wet traction, rides well, quiet, etc. Haven't had an EVO owner who didnt like them.



Stop by Casa Fuente in Ceasars and send me some Casa Fuente cigars! hehe.

I second that about KDs... awesome tires... BTW, BFG is owned by Michelin.
