THE Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 is another average carrier in the high-performance sector. About six years old now, it is outstanding for replacement with a new edition to be launched soon but the PS2 is still a worthy competitor.
Michelin has an excellent status for ride comfort and the PS2 is no different even though it is an overtly sporty model. The OEM tyre for Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and Bugatti, its Variable Contact Patch puts more rubber on the road for enhanced cornering and straight-line routine.
According to the French tyre giant, the PS2 has two distinctive tread patterns and two specialised tread compounds for the highest combination of wet and dry performance in its class. The RRP of a PS2 in 225/40 R18 is $525 (including GST) but a dealer could quote it at $470.
