Fabulous Performance, Rain or Shine!

Comments about Pilot Sport PS2:

The Pilot Sport PS2 just sticks to the road like it's glued there! Even in the rain this tire sticks. Cornering is also vastly improved. The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 gives excellent grip, excellent rain performance and the fuel economy didn't suffer. Great Job Michelin Man! You built a tire that improved the performance and handling of my Corvette! The next Car will be on Michelin's before it leaves the lot!

Not the best tread life.

By Mr. Milo

Comments about Pilot Sport PS2:

I have a set of these tires on my 2008 BMW M3 and they are good tires except for tread life. I only drive this car on the weekend during the summer, spring and fall; on sunny days with exceptional care. After only 14.5k miles the tread has worn down to the bars on the rear tires. I am extremely disappointed because of the three recommended tires this one was the most expensive. I will never spend the money for these tires again.

OE [Vehicle Manufacturer] Sidewall Marking: * = BMW, C1 = Dodge, K1 & K2 = Ferrari, MO & MO1= Mercedes-Benz, N0, N1, N2,N3 & N4 = Porsche, AO & R01 = Audi, TPC= Cadillac and Chevrolet

# The Load and Speed Index data are not shown on the tire sidewall and are provided for information only purposes

XL = Extra Load, LL = Light Load

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local Michelin tire dealer for pricing near you.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

W-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 118 124 130 136 143 149 155 161 168
