Michelin Pilot Sport ZP's

offthewall · 04-14-2010, 06:18 PM

I just replaced my stock Bridgestone Run Flats (225/255's on OEM 162 18's) on my 328xi with Pilot Sport ZP run flats. What a difference! The ride over bumps is SO smooth now. Previously when I switched out my winter tires (Blizzak's on 16's), the ride harshness took awhile to get used to. These Michelin's provide a softer ride than even the winter tires with no decrease in performance from the Bridgestones. I am a very happy man.

They are exactly the same price as the Bridgestones I replaced. Both are expensive! So was the car

They're awesome tires as long as it's not snowing. I have them now. Hopefully I won't miss them too much - getting non-RFT Hankook V12 Evos on my new VMR VB3s that are on the way.

I've got dedicated winter tires. I wouldn't even think about running summer performance tires through a NJ winter.

They are great. The xi with them on is the best snow vehicle I've ever owned. Also very confident in cold rainy conditions which the summer Bridgestones were treacherous in. I did finally exceed their performance limits last week, the day before I put the Pilot Sport's on, when it reached 96F here in NJ in early April! They were actually slippery on dry pavement.

Agreed, the PS2 tires are outstanding.
