Testimonials
- Pilot® Sport PS2™
- July 19, 2009
- Tomorrow – July 20, 2009 – we will be replacing our rear tires on our 2004
Chrysler Crossfire. The original rear Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires have lasted 33,500 miles,
which is, in our opinion, exceptional for sport tires used on a high performance automobile.
These Michelin tires have performed above our expectations both in wet and dry weather conditions.
Our new Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires will be installed tomorrow by Discount Tire in Lexington, SC. Thanks for great tires.*

- I love my MICHELIN Pilot® Sport PS2™ tires.
As far as performance and overall satisfaction, nothing comes close to them. I now only run
MICHELINS on my two cars. Winter or summer. My MICHELIN tires always entertain when I pass
4-wheel-drives vehicles on snowy days. Thank you for bringing excitement and peace of mind
to driving. I am a very satisfied customer.*

- In all these years, I have had ONLY MICHELIN® tires on my car.
I feel safe having the best on my car. Two months ago I again purchased MICHELIN Pilot®
Sport PS2™ tires. I have 101,440 miles on my car, and it runs great. Safety is always a factor
when it comes to my car. I won't quibble over money when it comes to tires. Only the best will do.
Oh, I love your commercials, too!*

1. 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.
2. Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
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.
