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.

If all of the cars had them at the challenge, maybe 05s will be getting them??? I know..wishful thinking...

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..
