Michelin PS2

[Cerano]

Any bros tried PS2?

[Love_hes]

Very good tyres, good grid, acceptable noise level, tyre worn off tread rate is slow. But down side is I find it very expensive

[Kc0378]

i'm on them, great tyres i must say, very grippy, noise level is low, wet grip is good also.

 

downside it's expensive at close to $400 a piece.

 

I'm on 225/40/R18. Tyres come with 5 years warranty by local michelin agent.

 

 

you can read more online reviews from tyrerack

 

will definately use back this tyres once they're worn out

[Jeff49er]

[Cerano]

Yes, no doubts that PS2 is good tires.

No offence to Michellin lover . . . I have used them before

But with that price & compare with Pirelli - then its Mt Faber against Mt Everest.

There're incomparable from all aspects - grip, wet/dry, lasting, sound, comfort ........

In my opinion, des no tires that can beat the Pirellis.

Pirelli originated & specializes from bike performance tires

I'm waiting for the latest Scorpion or Zeros series that c/w runflat by next few months.

Of cos, its not cheap either.

But I'd advice a MO to get a better deal - dats what I did the last time.

 

Cheers,

I am currently on Bridgestone Potenza front 235/40/18 and rear 265/40/18. Thinking of changing to PS2. How is this combo for PS2? Thinking of just changing just the rear tyres if possible as the whole set is still quite new.

what car are you driving? quite a unusual combinations sorry

[Chickenbackside]

Actually not really unusual. It must be a rear wheel drive car.

 

I'd guess probably a BMW.

Hello,

 

Bought a set of PS2 (235x40x18) today, for abt $425 each... Hope not a bad decision.

because im running on pirelli p zeros and its quite noisy. PS2s are supposedly more well rounded i suppose.

 

Pirelli P Zeros are in the 350+ range though quite abit cheaper than the PS2s

Hi, i guess have to see the tyres and also the type of vehicle that you are driving. For me, the car came with a set of stock Pirelli p-zeros running 235/40/18, am in a c70. The tyres i have to say was good, i drove it up to malaysia and it was very stable, though it was very stiff but it was for good high speed driving. Down side is that after just 15,000km, it was very noisy and then i changed the set of tyres to bridgestone re001. It was soft yada yada, but it was no where compared to the pirellis, but very comfortable and quiet.

 

What am trying to say is that i guess its better to choose the tyre for the type of car you are driving. Bridgestones and michellins are very good tyres but if they are too soft for the car, then it will be of no use either. PErsonally i wish i was back to the pirellis just because it was alot stiffer and also because it suits my car better since the car weighs a damn buffalo. Thanks.

 

 

[A_korusawa]

As for me - I fell in love with Pirelli over Michellin simply b'cos the polymers used in their tyres gives better grip and last longer

 

I agree, Bridgestone & Michellin works quieter, but they are much softer and cannot be subjected to hard cornering on heavy cars like SUVs

 

Bridgestone Potenza will be superb for coupes or smaller, lightweight such as sport cars!

 

I think its all' bout thread design for that quietness - asymmetrical over symmetrical etc.....

 

I agree with Volvoc70m that there are tyres for certain types of cars, coupe/saloon/sports/SUV/MPV etc.

[Yattokame]

was on PS2 on my old 156

 

Dry grip was good

Wet too

Quiet

 

Dunno if they r built to last; was on AD07 subsequently

[Cerano]

What about a normal 1.5ton sedan?

 

May do tracking though and take corners at high speeds.

 

Yet like the versatility of having it quiet when cruising.

[Patro]

Unless you're in a track car just get the PSPs. They are almost as good as the PS2s and they are a lot cheaper.
