I cant decide between the GY or Mich.

Definately do the triple tred...700 treadwear rating, and deep channels are excellent. Have a freind with them on his 01 GAGT and they work excellent in dry/wet/snowy weather. Wish they'd make them in larger sizes (I would put them on my GTP)

Besides, Michelin really blew the US Gran Prix.

How do they corner? Do they have hard sidewalls? I hate the squishy sidewall feeling when cornering, escepially with the stock Uniroyals. Thanks.

They are pretty firm. I don't own them personally, but when I drive my friends GAGT with them, they are awesome. They are pretty stiff and don't give way in corners (and I usually take corners pretty fast...usually almost 2 times the recommended speed )

MHadden - I hate to ask this now but what tires did you order for your vehicle? I don't know if it is covered in your signature list of options or not?

The GTP has 2 types of 18 inch tire available. They are the same size P225/50R18 but the standard version is a varient of the Goodyear Eagle LS but the other is ID'd as Summer-Only performance - I am not sure who makes that one (Bridgestone?)

I ordered the standard, all-season Goodyears LS2's...I can't afford to have dedicated winter tires. The "summer-only" tires are indeed the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's. People will probably be disappointed with them considering they are only a whoping 140 AA tread...that's almost on par with a racing tire...sad.

As I posted somewhere else, these 2 tires are the ONLY tires I can find to fit the OEM specs. I'm sure someone who is an expert at tire sizing can make them a little wider while having the same RPMile. That would certianly open up some different brands/models.
