There is a stretch of road I take daily that really seems loud with the top up. The P-Zeros on the same road were fairly quiet. With top down - not a problem.

PS - Even with the noise, I'd still pick the Michelins over the Pirellis.

 

Not misleading in the slightest.
Remember, I mounted 305's on the rear.
You can see the inset of the wheel from 20 paces.
Personally, I like the depth it gives to the wheel, and the protection it affords. Can't imagine why anyone would be concerned...

 

Whoops, my bad.

Correction: When using stock rear size, the lip on the rear is present but not noticeable unless up-close.

 

Best tyres you can buy.. will transform your cars ability.
Note it takes about 500 miles to wear them in.

 

Very much agreed. In every tire performance category, once I go Michelin, I don't ever go back.

 

Just a brief update - I got my PSS's installed today and the price was about $100 lower than I was originally quoted (final costs updated below). The crew at Costco was great. They gave me an appointment, saw the car when I pulled in, and snared the keys before I even got to the counter. Two crews worked in parallel and I was in and out in less than an hour.

Meanwhile, all I can do is echo others' comments about how much better the Michelins feel than the P-Zeros. I could tell the difference before I left the parking lot.

 

Did you get the 295s or the 305s for the rear?

 

Stayed with 295's in the rear.

 

Out of curiosity, has anyone else noticed a fuel economy improvement since switching from P-Zeros to MPSS? I swear I am seeing about a 1.5 mpg improvement.

 

I'm sitting at the dealership right now, about to have Michelin PSS installed on my new F-Type (just 500 miles). The car is a lease and the Pirelli will go back on before the car is turned in.

I have been installing PSS on nearly every vehicle in recent years. They are an excellent street performance tire. They do get a bit greasy at the track on hot days, but temps will be cooler in early November when this car has a track day planned

 

I swapped to the PSS before I took delivery, so I can't speak to comparable fuel economy.

 

Didn't look for this specifically during normal driving, but I get about 36L/100km when on the track.

 

No improvement here. Did about 11k miles on the P-Zeros and 5k so far on the MPSS. Exact same average.

 

Then I am chalking it up to the new wheels. An unexpected benefit it seems.

 

I love them. They aren't wearing as fast, and they feel a lot better (for the unhelpful and subjective notation).

But... you are dead on with adhesion. I've surprised myself two times, doing something I would have done on the Pirellis, without an issue. But the Pirelli's on my rear wore at approx 10K miles, which blew my mind. These will last a lot longer. I'm about to change out the front Pirelli's post the extra 4K I just drove on them, and will match up the PSS to my rear, for sure.

Man... it rained in Vegas, and on a brand new blacktop, I took off for a right turn and lost my back end like a happy puppy wagging it's butt. LOL

Great tires tho. MAYBE... I shouldn't accelerate into turns. Maybe that's not the tire's fault.

 

Well...apparently if you don't mind a bit of frayed cord showing, these tires might make it to 17k miles. I noticed the rear tires suddenly got slippery as snot and decided to investigate. The rear tires were fairly evenly worn down to the wear bars, but the fronts were showing frayed edges on the inside, yet decent tread on the outside edges. I'll try to get the fronts aligned with a bit less camber. Fortunately, I have a fresh pair of the hard to get 305s sitting in the garage, but hopefully can source the 255s fairly quickly.

 

I saw a ready supply on Tire Rack the other day when browsing for snow tires for my son's IPL

 

How many track days?

 

I have 15K on mine, with 6-6.5/32" left. Don't know if I'll get 20K out of them.

 

Every day.
