dunlops to michelins
i was thinking of next time when i switch my tires of switching from my current dunlop dz101's to michelin pss's.....i hate the dunlops in the wet and they just feel squishy in the corners......any insight on how the pss's handle? is it a better tire than the dunlop?

The Pilot Super Sport would be a vast improvement over the entry-level DZ101 in pretty much every regard including handling and grip in both wet and dry.

+1 my pilot super sports are great,but like any tires on the rear of an m3,they have worn much faster than the fronts. Now it gets a little squirly in the rain due to the wear. I will definatly get these tires again. Probably sooner than I would like to.

The PSS demolish any other high performance summer street tire on the market this side of R-Comps.
I had PS2s before and I'm on PSS now. They tread life difference is astonishing.

thx guys! even though there a tad more expensive for a way better tire its still worth it...and i have the 20 spoke rims that only put the thin little 205/50/r17 on them so it still wont be very expensive at all.....ive handled the maintenence and im now making my car faster and i think tires are the best place to start seeing as how they affect acceleration cornering and braking and just safety on the streets as well

You planning to change wheels? I don't think the PSS come in a 205/50-17. IMO, you probably don't want a high performance tire like the PSS in a 50 series any way, or in such a narrow width.
