Michelin PS2 or PS3?
I went to a tyre shop wanted the PS3s but the shop keeps telling me PS2 will out perform PS3, although I probably wouldn't drive any of these the the limit, but I wanted the best tyres I can get so .. is it true that the PS2 is still the flagship of Michelin? the PS2s are significantly more expensive too.. or the tyre shop is just tricking me into buying their old stocks that they try to get rid of...?

I already bought the PS2s under heavy marketing talk of those tire man
Liking the tires so far, really really great tires
But i still wonder if PS3s are better :/ while being much cheaper and newer

depends on the weather
the PS2 is still the big dawg when it comes to performance. The Pilot Sport 3 features Michelin’s Green Power Compound to combine grip on wet surfaces with fuel saving and greater longevity. So, basically it will offer lower rolling resistance and longer tread life but, it trades away a good deal of performance to get there.
