Message: Michelin PS2s on a Toyota Echo would be a placebo, too,

Michelin PS2s on a Toyota Echo would be a placebo, too,
but on a Ferrari they would noticeably enhance the performance in comparison to the Echo's OE tires being fitted to that Ferrari. Any given component becomes more critical as the a system's other components are qualitatively enhanced. Having one more place to remove abrasive particles from an engine seems like a good idea, diminished as the return on investment may be. I've had more than one "by the numbers" person as much as "astounded" by the difference in resolution, sound stage, etc, between junk RCA interconnects and, e.g., Audioquests. And it happened without first trying to "sell" them on the idea. It's not a matter of whatever "objective" or "subjective" means conceptually, but "observational."
