Time for Tires - Recommendations?

Have a 05 GT2 with 9K miles which I bought last summer and its getting close to new rubber time. I started looking at options and it turns out to be slim pickens at best.

Rears are 315-30ZR-18
Fronts are 235-40ZR-18

The choices I have are limited to:

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
Pirelli P Zero Rosso
Yokohama ADVAN Sport

I have Michelin on now and they seem to be ok but the're orginal equipment, getting a little hard, and almost 4 years old based the DOT date codes.


Need a reasonable steet tire not the softie track or auto cross stuff. I'm leaning toward the Michelin PS2's but would like to get comments on which you feel is better.

i like the PS2. but you'll probably be changing the rear tires every 10K on regular street use.
