Great feedback- Thanks to all- I think I will go with the Potenza's when the time comes- very close to the PS2's in performance almost half the price...

I have PS2's on my turbo and I will say that while I have been impressed with their performance wet and dry, when it comes time to change I am also going to give the Hankook's a go. Besides cost, the Michelins are getting noisier by the mile and I have read reviews that say the Hankook is quieter riding as well as having grip levels wet and dry comparable to the PS2.

JJG is infamous around these parts
I have Toyo Proxes. Have no idea how they compare to the other brands. I think they are good, there is road noise but I'm not sure if they are louder than PS2s. I think they grip well, but I'm not a skilled track owner. Anyone have a basis to compare the Toyos with the other brands?

I have PS2's too. The backs need to be replaced but the fronts are still good.

I can put a whole new set of Hankooks on for less than the cost of new PS2 rears.

I am going to call tirerack and probably get the Hankooks and keep the front PS2's in case I don't like the Hankooks.
