Just been offered 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 2's for £473 fitted. Which I thought was amazing, if not a mistake!

Think I'll be plumping for those, remember T_T being on here a while back and having very good things to say about the PS2's.
I've just had 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 2 fitted today on my Ed30.
I was running Dunlops since I bought the car and the difference is night and day!
You can feel the difference immediately and they inspire confidence - great choice of tyre.
Lets see how long they last though as I remember my old Pilot Sports were quite a soft compound....

Can't believe it took until page 4 to mention PS2's! They are excellent, noticeably more grip than Sport Maxx. I need two new fronts asap, where did you get that quote from?

I got them from my local costco, there was a 20% off offer on which runs out tomorrow I think.

Really pleased with them and they seem a lot smoother than the conti sport contact 2's that were on before although I have no complaints with the old tyres.

Had a set of PS2s on my S4 - FANTASTIC tyres. Also had em, Eagle F1 (GSD3) and Toyo T1s, on my Scoobies. Didn't really notice road noise (mind you a scooby with de-cat renders you pretty deaf to most things!!LOL! :grin:)

Current tyres are Dunlop Sport max on front, and Conti on the back. Road noise not an issue really.
Will be looking at PS2 or depending how I get on, the Contis (only had the car a month)
