Given 81% while driving a Porsche BOXSTER 2.7 (265/35 R18 N) on mostly country roads for 16,000 spirited miles
Great tire. Had the N2's before these and PS2's are a huge improvement. On my 2001 Boxster I got 16000 miles on the rears, so I just ordered two. I love these.
I had the Perelli PZero's which I through away after a few thousand miles.
These handle extremely well. Haven't been in the rain much to make a comment.
Braking is awesome.

Given 87% while driving a Porsche Boxter S (265/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
I have had my Porsche Boxster 3.2S for 7 years and have always used these tyres. The mileage is now just under 60,000.
In pretty much every respect this is a fantastic car and a lot of that is down to how it handles, especially around bends but also on motorways and faster roads. I can't be that subjective because I have not tried the car on any other tyres but I think that a lot the driving enjoyment comes from having absolute faith in the tyres and the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 has always provided that. In every weather and temperature condition (apart from snow where the car is useless!) they stick like glue even under extreme provocation.

There has been the odd tiny sideways slip/slide around a wet roundabout but that may well be to do with oil on the road or something. I have had some pretty scary moments in other cars with different tyres, including a BMW M5 on Falken tyres, which may give you an indication of how spirited my driving can be and how good the Michelin tyres really are.

My only two complaints are cost and wear - If I get 10,000 - 12,000 miles out of the rear tyres I am doing well and I wear them right down to the in-built depth gauge without any noticeable impact on performance. They are also the most expensive tyre option for my car which until recently had a fairly low choice because I want the same tyres all round and it has different size front and back tyres. The choice has increased a lot over the years and so now the cheapest branded option I can get are Toyo Proxes T1 sport which are not far off half the price, e.g. feb 2017 Michelins all round cost £844 but Toyos cost £490. I may well try them next "just to see"!

Given 70% while driving a Ford fiesta st (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 5,000 average miles
Got these tyres to replace the potenzas on my fiesta ST. The drop in cabin road noise was instantly noticeable and the handling in the wet also improved remarkably. Overall the driving experience has been awesome with these on and I've never felt anything less than stuck to the road.

However, this has come at a price which is needing to replace both front tyres after only 10,000 kms, most of which was highway driving! Love these tyres but not sure if I'll buy again at $500 every 8 months

Stick like Velcro on my Impreza. No heart stopping moments when putting the power down and no squirms or slides in the corners. Very sticky compound and soft when you get some heat in them.
Too early to comment on wear but I've been told they are good.

Given 86% while driving a Renault Megane RS250 CUP (235/40 R18 W) on mostly country roads for 6,000 spirited miles
Superb tyres for a hot hatch (with 315bhp and 370 lb/ft) - Monumental grip on track and fantastic on a winding back road. Great grip in the wet as well, inspiring mega confidence. Only slight downside being they seem to wear a bit quicker than I'd like, due to the softer compound, but my driving may have something to do with that as well! Will not buy anything other than these for my car.

Given 97% while driving a Skoda Octavia GT 193hp (225/45 R17 W) on mostly motorways for 18,000 spirited miles
I had these tyres on my Skoda Octavia and i was really satisfied. Dry grip was excellent and on wet fantastic even with 3.5mm thread left at 30.ooo km. It is a superb tyre and after them, i put Pzeros on which are very good. I do not care about tyre wear because i think that the first thing is grip and safety,PS2 gave me plenty of these.If one can afford,i think that it is one good choise.

Excellent while they last. Sad, i would love to buy them again, but cannot afford it. sure, my foot is "a bit" heavy, but 11000km out of a set is awful...

Given 91% while driving a Ford c max (205/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
One of the best tire I have ever used. It lasted about 60.000km without any trouble. It is a pity there are no more in production.
Very good grip in dry and wet, it was a pleasure driving around with these.
