Performance Analysis
Drawn from 3 tests. Updated November 13, 2025.
Across three 2010 ultra-high-performance tests, the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 delivered consistently strong dry performance but struggled in broader all-round scoring, particularly where wet capability, comfort/noise, and efficiency weighed heavily. It placed mid-pack overall (average 5th) with a standout dry pace close to the quickest, yet a last-place finish in a comprehensive Auto Bild test highlights weaknesses outside dry grip and precision.
