Wonder anyone can share their experience on Michellin PP2 tyre. In term of steering feel, hard/soft feel, grip and noise etc.

I upgraded my XMV8 to PP2 last July wih slightly wider width.

Can feel it is more stable cornering and better grip, better wet traction, as quiet as the XMV8 but rather expensive at S$230/tyre for a 16".

Recently got a nail punctured on one of the tyre on the NSE but did not feel anything till I realised it.

Was researching on the PP2 as well. Some say the performance is on par to cheaper tires like Falken 912 or BS GR80 ! Not actually the kind of tires I am looking for.

I'm on my second set of PP2.

 

What I've found with PP2 is not so much outright grip like AD07, RE01R or RS2, but more of all-weather dependability. In that sporty driving class of tires, it has a lot of treads almost as many grooves as a regular treaded tire like GR80 etc. From dry to soaking wet conditions, PP2 retains its grip and handling characteristics much better than other comparable tires. In most standing puddles, it simply cuts through and expels the water out the sides, rather than having the steering go light for a split second. It feels very confident in all conditions, unlike some tires that have less treading - they'd give you all the grip when its dry, and go to pieces when the roads are wet.

 

The drawbacks are that it is noisy. It costs quite a bit also. It wears quite fast as well.

PP2 is a good tyre. Like what most bros here have said - Good grip in dry and wet, fairly comfortable with progressive feedback and steering feel. More an accomplished All-Rounder than a high performance tyre. I used them on my Octavia before. No complains and I drive the car quite hard. [thumbsup]

 

Look for those made in Japan.

I was on PP2 on my last car. Really loved it esp during rainy days. Just bought a 2nd hand car and currently on Eagle F1. Very noisy tire. Will change to PP2 if I were you. I think it's about $125 per tire for 15".

For Goodyear and Michellin, which one is better?

 

Thanks

Both are good only depending on the series
