Question Anyone have any experience with Michelin PS2s?

About to get new tires, coming from S-03s. Read the tirerack's test of them vs. PS2s and GS-D3, where the PS2s won. But Luke above states that his ratings show the S-03s on top.

Would like to try another tire, so was thinking of the PS2s. Anyone have them currently? If so, thoughts? TIA.

No experience, but they WILL be my next set!! I love Michelin to begin with but the new tread pattern and the fact that it is F1 inspired has me hooked.

Luke - that's why I'm confused. You have them (the PS2s) ranked at #4 on your "which tires are best" list. Would you mind clearing up the difference for me, please?

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s on my s500. They're actually used for my 20" wheels and everyone including myself who've riden in my car all claim that no other tire has provided such a smooth ride for such a large rim. The grip is amazing and reacts to my command immediately. I actually bought my tires from a good friend and might be able to get a couple more sets at the discounted price if anyone here is interested. Just mail my aol account: ArMaNiS500@aol.com

I have about 500 miles on my 19" Pilot Sport 2's now.

So far I have been very impressed. Super quiet, rides well and sticks like glue.
