Michelin feedback

I sent the following letter to Michelin:

Despite the abundance of high performance tires available for my 2000
Ferrari Modena, I decided to go with Michelin because you had the courage to
do what was right (and SAFE) in the face of a storm of adversity at the
Formula One Grand Prix of Indianapolis. Trouble is, you folks decided not
to make the PS2's in my size. What were you thinking???

To which I recieved the following reply:

There are currently no plans to produce the Pilot Sport PS2 in the sizes
required for your 2000 Ferrari Modena. However, the Michelin Pilot Sport is
available.

I responded thusly:

I am aware of this. However, you did not address my question; you simply restated the obvious. There are plenty of other manufacturers these days developing high performance tires that are equal in performance with the PS2's (and better than the original Pilot Sports) in my size. If you are not going to manufacture the PS2's in all sizes, then do not wonder when we buy tires from those manufacturers.

Having said this, anyone care to make any recommendations for the best tire for my car?
Thanks.

 

The stock front size is the 215/45/18. The closest PS2 available is the 225/40/18. These will look silly (bulge out on the sides). I have a friend with the exact same problem. I have the S-03's on my daily driver and they are a fantastic tire in my opinion. But they are not listed as a tire that will fit on the red car either (on Tirerack). Only the S-02's, and I don't know anything about those. Same with the Goodyear F1's. If I can't get a recommendation on a better tire than the Pilot Sports, I might just go with those again. It's just a shame that Michelin doesn't make the successors to the Pilot Sport in the same sizes that they make the Pilot Sport in. Seems silly to me.
