Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 Reviews - Page 5

Given 99% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TDi 170 S Line (235/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 8,000 average miles
I had these on the rears a while ago and after 10k they were down to 7mm which i thought was awesome wear rates for a sports tyre. I then took them off as I replaced all 4 with Eagle F1A and again was impressed with them.

I put these back on but now they are on the front of a heavy front end diesel lump kicking out 170 BHP. I have done approx 8k on these and they are down to 6mm and wearing evenly.

The performance in the wet and dry is as good as it gets and they are very comfortable at all speeds. Only gripe is the cost at £180 each is quite harsh .

Great tyre both wet and dry and is the only tyre that will keep my rwd in a straight line, only down side to these great tyres is the price, but I guess you get what you pay for...

Given 83% while driving a Ford Mustang (295/35 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Needed tyres on the back of my Mustang. I had serious traction issues before and after going 295 I hoped I wouldn`t still be burning rubber in most gears.
Expensive but you get what you pay for. Most important thing is now I have traction. I can hook up and accelerate without snaking all over the road. Even able to drive in the wet although not with any conviction. Thats good enough for me. I didn`t add a progressive rating as I havent had the car at the limit-and never will probably unless I manage a track day.

Given 93% while driving a Vauxhall Omega (235/45 R17 W) on mostly motorways for 21,000 spirited miles
Fitted a set of 4 of these to my rear wheel drive V6 Omega. Lasted for around 21000 miles all round which i thought was pretty good going. Amazing grip in the wet and even better in the dry. Through the car into alot of corners and the tyres never gave up even down to the last 2mm. Highly recommend them.

Given 93% while driving a Audi A5 (255/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
Car came with Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres which have been pretty poor. Required replacing after 14,000 miles. Feedback and torque steer was awful and grip in wet and snow terrible. The Michelin Pilot Sports make the entire driving experience a joy, torque steer gone, no tramlining and more comfortable as well as quiet. Fantastic

Given 81% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GT Tdi 110 (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 10,000 spirited miles
Great feedback from these tyres, car handles much better with these fitted compared to budget tyres. The big downside I found was that they wear extremely quickly on the front of my golf gt Tdi! One of the fastest wearing I think I’ve had on any of my cars! For that reason I don’t think that I would spend that much on the tyre again! I found the Goodyear eagle ultra grip to be just as responsive and far more hardwearing, if a little noiser!

Given 93% while driving a Vauxhall Vectra SRI 1.9 (150) (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 24,000 spirited miles
First time i've had sufficient money to buy a set of Michelins and after 24000 miles the fronts have finally given up, great wear rate compared to others i've had and the old adage you get what you pay for certainly is true in this instance. The only fault i could find with these tyres is just how bad they are in snowy conditions but as they aren't designed for that purpose i'm not going to mark them down on it. Its actually worked out cheaper replacing the ps2's with ps3's so i'll have to see how they compare. If they are of equal quality i'll be very happy. In short simply a great tyre.

Given 94% while driving a Audi A3 TDi quattro sport (225/45 R17 W) on mostly country roads for 90 spirited miles
A fantastic tyre for this car but very expensive to replace. Wear is good, 2 full sets have last 90,000 miles and still 4mm left on rear tyres. Very quiet on motorways and give a firm footed ride on the twisty bits. Wet weather grip is fantastic, not lost grip yet and thats down to 1.8mm.

Given 93% while driving a Audi A5 (245/35 R19 W) on mostly motorways for 18,000 average miles
Excellent tyre which is probably the best dry handling tyre out there however it is not as good as most people claim on here in the wet the CSC3 and F1A are much better in the wet from my experience. They wear well too giving me 18k which is impressive on a heavy diesel car.

Given 81% while driving a SEAT Leon Cupra Tdi (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
These tyres have lasted almost twice as long (20,000 miles)on the front two wheels as some other similar premium brand tyres and have much better wet weather grip.
They do give quite a firm ride which can mask the road feedback a little at times although they are quiet, but they are the tyre I've been most happy with so far.
They don't give fantastic forward grip in the snow but they are not a winter tyre.
I have also tried Goodyear F1 GSD3's and Vredestein Ultrac on the front of this car (Seat Leon TDi Cupra 150).
