anybody know how this compares to other tires in its class like the Pilot Sport PS2, the Potenza S-03, and the Potenza RE050A ?

"Ultra-reinforced sidewalls promote fast steering response and powerful cornering..."

Sounds promising; I would like to find something that has the quick turn-in of the 070's. I imagine they would be better than the PS2 in that respect (which I am running now - you can practically put your finger through the sidewall.) Sizing is pretty limited though, would you do a 255?

either a 255/40 or 245/40

Doesn't look like there is a 245 available...? I couldn't find any mention of them on Michelin's site. They remind me of the old Pilot Sports that came OEM on my Miata - I was pretty happy with those.
