Default Tire Help

I have to purchase 4 tires this week.

I've broken it down to 2 tires
(1) Michelin Pilot PS2's or (2) Yokohoma Advan S4. Can anyone who had these tires in the past chime in? or any exp at all good or bad.

The Yokohamas are about 60.00 bucks cheaper per tire compared to the PS2 but the advans have more tread life.

help!! all comments/suggestions greatly appreciated!

PS2 is stock on the IS-F, Porsches and other high performance cars. They are considered by many to be maybe the best dry performance tire.

Not sure about the Yokos

Jason,
I just recently went through the same thing. Had to purchase new tires and decided to upgrade wheels in the process. My GS430 came stock with PS2 but the price to replace especially going from 18" to 20" was pretty steep. I spent lots of hours reading threads on here and speaking with Tire technicians. The final outcome I ended up going with Bridgestone Potenza 960 Pole Position. I have posted a link that was very helpful in helping me decide. I have had the 960 only a couple of days but liking them alot and so is my bank account

ps: The PS2 were awesome but for the price and mileage you'll get wasn't worth it to me.

Good luck and update on what you chose.

RG
