Thumbs up Thumbs up: Michelin Pilot Sport PS2!

Replaced my worn stock Dunlop SP9000s with a new set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s -and a 4-wheel alignment - *WHAT* a difference. Car handles like a dream in dry and wet, no more "auto-seek" of ruts in the road, and they are quieter.

Haven't had them on long enough to comment on any impact on mileage.

Definitely a tire to consider if you're swapping out all four.

No connection to Michelin/Tirerack -- just a very happy customer...

I'm waiting for the UPS man as I type for my PS 2's!! My car is only a week old, but decided to order the pilot's and use the stock conti's for when the weather gets colder. I have a company car, so I don't need to worry about the snow.

Went from Bridgestone Potenzas to Michelin PS2's. The PS2's are great ! Really quiet and comfortable as well but they stick like glue when needed.

I noted that all cars in the AMG Challenge were riding on PS2s (Michelin is a sponsor).

They do stick very well ... and we wore a lot of them, well at least DOWN if not OUT

Another thumbs up for the PS2!! Just had them installed and like others said, better ride/comfort but they stick like glue when needed. I had SO-3's on my E500 and so far these seem better. Need to see how they do in the rain. Also, w/ the stock cont's I noticed a very slight shimmy in the steering wheel. It is completely gone. Rock solid.

Exclamation When would PS2 become official tires for the E55

When that happens, I'll then complain to the dealer about the slight steering wheel vibration..
