Another Michelin PS2 user

[jgv]

Today I switched from the Bridgestone Potenza RE-040 to the new Michelin Pilot Sport 2 on my 17" wheels.
Their size is 225/45-17 but they fill much better the rim, they look better and as are wider should behave better too.
I also like their thread pattern design

I had the regular Pilot Sport in the same size back in 2001.

Probably, the best tire I have ever had. From road noise down to sticky handling, they were a very, very solid all around ultra high performance dry weather tire. (They were good in rain too). I agree, the tread pattern was awesome!

However, I have snow in the winter and had issues! I didn't want to spend the money on snow tires. I think the PS All Seasons are supposed to be great.

My only issue was tread life. They didn't last very long. I know they are high performance, but I was still disapointed. Especially since they were a fortune to buy.

I replaced them with Sumitomo HTR+ Ultra High Performance All Season tires. $88 a piece!! I love them. It's been 15,000 miles and barely a sign of wear (rotated @ every 6000 miles). I got them because f their tread life. I have done 100 mph numerous times with zero issues. Excellent snow traction too! The best tire for the money.

They look great and are rated well enough We don't have that brand here though, and as I've used mostly Goodyear and Bridgestone I decided to give Michelin a chance, with this new tire. They costed me 170 euros each but that's how our prices are.

About that 100mph you did a few times, that's uncommon there, isn't it? Lats week I was driving on a highway followed by a new series 5 BMW at 220Km/h when we passed by a stoped on the right side Police car :scared Imagine what they thought when they saw us passing

I normally drive .... regular..., not that time though
