Thanx for the clarification henry,

I downloaded the pictures from that thread when it first started and quit checking back for the posts.


michelin a/s or michelin PS2 ???

If its Michelin PS2 then dont have the 245/30/22 while they have 295/25/22

Any suggestions ...Shall i go with Michelin 250/30/22 28.1" because thats what they have... ?

i have the ps2 in that size... although i have only had them for a week and they are expensive they are great tires. The only thing is the road noise but you will get that with any 22" low profile. The car rides and handles great and in the rain its a comfortable ride. i would recommend these tires if you have the extra cash to drop.

the ps2 are no doubt one of the best tires out there in terms of performance. that's why the is-f and m3 use them. but keep in mind they wear out fast too

I wanted to install the springs as well, but after i put the wheels on the car it looks so perfect. I think it will def. be to low for me if I do the tanabes now.
