Michelin Pilot Sport Two (PS2) 225/40/18 92Y Extra Load : Review

<< < (2/16) > >>

Mark_GTIV:
Great review!!! thanks!

These tyres were a slow burner for me. When I got them in Oct / Nov last year, at first they did not seem as good as the Continental Eco Sport 2 that were on the car as original equipment from new - they seemed noisier and far more likely to lose grip in the wet.

Of course I didn't change to winter tyres over the course of the winter and we actually had a pretty crappy winter with low average temps. These kinds of tyres don't really work so well below 8c.... so what I may have just been feeling is less adaptability in the Michelins for colder temps.. because now the summer is here, they have been nothing short of fantastic as I've written else where. I'd also state that they seem to get better with a bit of wear. And pressures also play a huge part in getting a better feeling.

Top Cat:
As always a top review. I managed to get the costco 20% deal thanks to PG,   :innocent:  still made my  eyes water though when he came back with a price for all four in 19in  :sad:
I have found there is great rim protection on mine, not to sure whether i have the same spec as yours John_o i will have to check.
I went from 18in exalto's to 19 inch PS2 and i was expecting a harsher ride, but it was softer if anything and the road noise definitely dropped.
Just one quick point in your review you say you plumped for option 2 which was the goodyear F1 i believe in your choices.

Thanks again for taking time to write up this review.  :drinking:

Eccie:
I would have to agree with Top Cat - I have these on my Audi A4 (Costco deal) and have found them to be a softer & quieter ride - which on the S line can be a little harsh – without any loss in performance

They have performed well and are lasting well - it’s the family bus, so it doesn’t get a lot of stick on the twisty bits – I will definitely put them on the GTI when they need swapping.

It’s probably been covered before, however, when the ‘deal’ is on at Costco (members only) must buy 4 to get the discount, but you can have say just 2 fitted and have the other 2 fitted at a later date, just take them with your original receipt.

john_o:
appreciate the positive feedback

@Simon : yeah given I have taken these way past my normal 'tread depth change point' , I reckon the 'normal' mileage for me on these would be just over 10k miles. I prefer to change whilst the tyre still performs 100% , this time circumstance has meant I havent.

@ RR : Yeah I reckon the Assymetric / PS2 are very closely matched, both really good tyres imho.

@TC : thanks adjusted  :happy2:

john_o:
new tyres fitted and event tyres review updated  :happy2:
