Given 81% while driving a Mazda Mazda 3 MPS Luxury (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 24,000 spirited miles
Came original with our 2010 Mazda 3 MPS Luxury (2.3l turbo). Have since put 45000km on them and it's now time to have them changed (should probably have changed them 3000km ago but they have still been running fairly well). Excellent handling around dry corners (confidence instilling). Could be better in the wet. All round good tyre, I'd rate 8/10 for what you pay.

Good tyres in every respect except wear - unbelievably they have only lasted 5,000 miles on genuine easy going driving by my wife despite the make ! Given how costly they are to buy I will not buy again.I have also put 4 PS2's on my VW Phaeton and,again, they are down to the wear bar after only 8,000 miles.That is,frankly ridiculous !

Cracking performance very predictable. Can be pushed to the limit with plenty of warning when they begin to break. Brilliant in the wet will bring a smile when pushed hard and tail end Charlie's fall back from view, best tyres I've used will buy again. Wear has been even and very reasonable considering hard use, starting to marble a bit as I approach the wear bars but again predictable, now going on to Michelin Pilot Alpin 3 for winter.

The michelin PS2 is one of the best tyres in the world if not the best, I have ran them on a few cars now and they are superb. They are the best tyre for dry handling and still offer excellent grip in the wet even though the eagle F1A2 is the wet tyre king ( but the ps2 has been around longer so newer technology will always win )

I get decent mileage out of them too on all my previous cars they have done over 20k.

Only gripe is the price but these are the daddy's.

Best tyre for my 996T. Tried both Pirelli's (too noisy) and Conti's (tramlining) but they got nowhere near the Michelin's in terms of overall performance. Fantastic grip and decent wear.

These replaced the Bridgestone Potenzas on my BMW Z4 (225 40 18 on the front, 255 35 18 on the back). The Michelins are much quieter, have better steering (don't tramline or tug at the wheel), ride better, and have better wet grip than the Potenzas. They cost more but are a great replacement - they have improved the car a great deal.

Another 6000 summer miles have past with these tyres on the rear of my car. Can't really fault them in general, they are generally very grippy and seem to be wearing very well considering. They can't quite match the grip of the newer Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 2's I have on the front so the car can be a little tail happy in the wet due to the alteration of balance. They are progressive and feelsome enough to know when this is going to happen though.

They are also a little noisy and hard in use due to their hard sidewalls, but this also has it's handling upsides.

These were once talked about to be the best road tyres to go for. So I went for them. And they were excellent. No complaints from me. I found they wore out quick on the rear of my car but the fronts lasted ages so theres mixed feelings there. Also as they got near their tread limit I had one of the scariest moments in my driving life. I went into a 180 degress spin around a roundabout. Something thats never happened to me before with any other tyre. But still I cannot really blame the tyres because they were near their tread limit, it was wet and I was overtaking a car in the inside lane of the roundabout in a rear wheel drive car. Plus I guess I didnt have the skills to correct my driving mistake. So if I ignore that incident, these michelins have been superb. Have got these on my girlfriends Golf GTI and she rates them highly too. Infact they are the only tyres she wants in future because she hasnt been too impressed with other midrange brands I bought her in the past. These PS2's used to be the ones to go for but now there are a few other newer choices that from reviews seem to be better. I think I might give the Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 2 to her next time because they seem to be a highly rated tyre right now. And me Ive got some Toyo T1 Sports as I dont mind the midrange brands.
