I bet the PS2's are going to make the stock Bridgestones feel like they are coated in teflon....

I am using even worse Dunlop's since G37x, hate this tires. Possibly worse tires I ever have. I got bit wider 235/50-18, should be OK for summer.

I'm not running stock sizes but I am running PS2's. They are very good tires, you will be pleased with their performance. I wouldnt run them in temps below freezing.

anything below 45 degrees and you need to adjust your driving habits with summer tires.

PS2's are older tires. Dry grip, they are not as good as recent tires, but their wet grip is outstanding.

What other suggestions does everyone have for replacing the sedan's tires? I have an '09 S model. The choices seem very limited. I'd give up some handling for a smoother ride in the colder months and longer durability.

Went with a great tire. Top ranked in its class right now, been out/proven in the field for quite some time, oe on many high end sport cars, etc. Good choice.

next time, try the Continental ExtremeContact DW...had them on my Audi when I traded it in...awesome tire and a little less expensive than the Michelins

Excellent dry tire and great steering response. Works well down to 40 deg and definitely should not be driven in winter conditions. Similar for less money would be the Conti DW, or Sumitomo Z-III.
