Performance Analysis

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 - Official Image

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.

Performance Strengths

Dry Performance Strong Details
• 2010 Sport Auto UHP: described as "still the tyre to beat in the dry," matched only by P Zero; fastest dry laptime group with Hankook S1 EVO and PS2 just 0s off
• 2010 EVO FWD: solid 4/9 overall with positive dry dynamics implied in a performance-focused field
Track/Laptime Capability Strong Details
• 2010 Sport Auto UHP: PS2 part of fastest dry laptime cluster ("just 0" behind best)
• Multiple mentions of top-tier dry pace relative to Pirelli P Zero

Performance Weaknesses

Wet Weather Performance Strong Details
• 2010 Auto Bild UHP: 6/6 overall with commentary citing poor overall showing; expectation that PS3 would improve wet
• 2010 Sport Auto UHP: praise focused on dry, implying relative drop-off when wet
Comfort/Noise and Efficiency Moderate Details
• 2010 Auto Bild UHP: notes PS2 underperformed in noise and rolling resistance versus newer designs
• Commentary suggests PS3 launch aimed to address noise/rolling resistance deficits
Steering Precision/Feel Consistency Minor Details
• 2010 Sport Auto UHP: noted slight vague steering feel compared to Conti and P Zero
• Despite strong dry grip, subjective steering feedback not best-in-class
