Review Summary
The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires are widely praised for their excellent performance, handling, and grip in both dry and wet conditions, providing a significant improvement in the driving experience with enhanced responsiveness, stability, and confidence-inspiring control. However, some customers have experienced issues with premature wear and tread loss, as well as problems with the internal foam construction causing balance and vibration. While the tires offer superb all-around capabilities, a small subset of users have encountered durability concerns.

Good grip, awful howl
These came factory fitted on my Cupra Born. Otherwise a good performance tire, but there is a very irritating cavity noise at around 200hz on anything but the smoothest of road surfaces. I have experienced Pilot Sports previously and understand the comfort sacrifices, but the sound that these tires make is almost unbearable. I have around 2000km on these tires so they might get slightly better but so far they are as loud as when they were new.
born2bewild, sorry you are experiencing noise. A Consumer Care team member will be in touch to discuss further and help with a solution.

Great tires---need more sizes available!
Have Pilot Sport 4S (an outstanding tire) on two of our cars (including one EV) and really wanting the EV version to help a bit with range and (hopefully) beefier construction to handle the battery weight. The foam is more of a repair nuisance, adds weight, and not a benefit to me. Of course it will not have more range than a stock low rolling resistance all season tire! Lol other reviewer, you buy this summer tire for the great handling! The issue is that the range of available sizes is too small to accommodate a growing world of EVs. Looking for 265/40/21 and 285/40/21 for a staggered setup, which are missing in action. Please build.

J'ai acheté mes quatre pneus en mai 2021 qui répondent parfaitement à ce que je m'attendais
Absolutely the best tire money can buy
After trying numerous other brands over the years for everything from a Light truck tire to a Corvette & Lexus IS, nothing performs or lasts like a Michelin and is what keeps me coming back when I have the money. Unfortunately, they are not inexpensive tires. :)
63K+
I bought my PS/2's for the front of my SLK350 in March '11 and recently replaced them after 63,531 miles! I've been very pleased overall with Michelin's and these were noteworthy because of the longevity. I've replaced them with PS A/S3's. I recommend these tires.
Poor Tire
2008 BMW 335. Tires are 18 months old, less than 20K miles. Rear tires. 1 catastrophic failure (blow out) and 1 with cords showing necessitating replacement. My car is 100% mechanically sound with no issues. I have all my service done at the dealship (or stealership depending on your perspective). I do not spin the tires, do burnouts, hit curbs and avoid potholes. These tires should have lasted much longer than the did. I have photos to prove and would support a class action lawsuit for a defective product.
Great Tire !!!
These tires are magnificent. The grip, handling and braking is simply fantastic. Not to mention, i'm above 32k miles and just now buying 2 front PS2's. The rear PS2's have a considerable amount of tread left. I think me and the ZR1 will burn those babies off for a little fun and to expedite the purchase of 2 more rears. I do want to try to keep the tread wear as even as i can. I'm sure Michelin will appreciate that....
05 GTO Incredible Upgrade
Put these on my 05 GTO at 20K. What a difference. Felt like I wasted the first two years of owning this car. They're smooth, quiet and SUPER STICKY. I've had them on for 3 years and 20,000 miles. I've never had a Z rated tire wear this well or last this long. I've had over thirty personal and business vehicles since 1976 and every one of them eventually gets Michelins. They cost more.... cause they're worth it. As Always... Thank You Michelin.
Pilot PS 2
I upgraded to a 19" RS5 wheel and decided to go back to the rubber that came with the car when I bought it, as a dedicated summer tire. The PS2's are the best performace tires I have had the pleasure of rolling on. We do a ton of road trips with Audi Club WC and I am thoroughly impressed how reliable the PS2's are even under the toughest of conditions. Easy buying decision that was based on the overwhelming survey results of other Audi Club members.
Excellent Tieres
Recently installed N-Spec Pilot Sport PS2 tires on my 2002 Porsche 911. Tires not only improved ride comfort and vehicle dynamics, but also were very responsive and grippy during a recent track-day session, leading to improved lap times. I really recommend these tires for this application.
