Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 Owner Reviews
Review this tireWhat owners say summarised from 123 reviews
Drivers largely praise the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 for outstanding dry grip, confident wet performance for a max-performance summer tire, strong steering feel, and stability at high speed and on track; many Porsche and performance-car owners consider it a benchmark. Comfort and noise are generally better than rival OE fitments, and several report surprisingly good longevity, though wear can vary widely by vehicle and driving style. The main recurring downsides are high price and faster rear/overall wear for powerful cars; a minority cite wet grip shortfalls versus newer rivals and increased noise as they wear. Overall sentiment is strongly positive given the high proportion of top scores.

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

Needed tires 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.

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 tires never gave up even down to the last 2mm. Highly recommend them.

Car came with Dunlop Sport Maxx tires 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

Great feedback from these tires, car handles much better with these fitted compared to budget tires. 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 tire again! I found the Goodyear eagle ultra grip to be just as responsive and far more hardwearing, if a little noiser!

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 tires 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 tire.

A fantastic tire 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 tires. 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.

Excellent tire which is probably the best dry handling tire 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.
