I was surprised how badly the Michelin PS2 fared in the latest Auto Express trye test. All testing was carried out at Michelin's own tre testing facility in France too!
There doesn't seem to be any online versions of the test available for viewing though, just what was printed in the mag.
Can you scan it? E-mail it to me if you don't wanna post it, as I'd be very interested in reading it, and picking over the finer points!
Or when was the relevant issue - is it still on the shelves?
~The only test the PS2 was outright winner was the rolling resistance test, which we all knew anyway as they tend to last the longest.
Low rolling resistance and long tyre life arn't directly related. One has to do with tread compound, and the other has to do with constructural rigidity of the carcass.

Sorry I ain't got a scanner! It was issue 1027 dated 27 Aug-2 Sept, maybe available from back issues?
The wet handling test was the real fall-down for Michelin, with it coming position 12 out of 15.
I would really question the validity of that! Anyone will tell you that Michelins (the entire range) in the wet are where they really excel. On a very wet trackday in my last S4, I consistently - and literally run rings around other cars, all with a variety of other tyre makes. The real shocker for me was the latest RS4 (which I now have), which had Pirelli P Zero Rossos. We took turns in following each other, and he (in the RS4 with Pirellis) kept loosing on every single corner in the wet. His tyres were virtually brand new, with about 6½mm tread, and my Mich PS2s were about half worn at 3-4mm.


Pirelli P Zero Y rated XL was the overall winner of the test.
That does not relate to any real-life experiences. Every single person I know who had the Pirelli P Zero Rossos on their RS4s had some serious complaints,

would never recommend them, would never refit them again,

and would go for either Mich PS2, Conti CSC3, or Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics - and ALL said the Pirelli was considerably worse than what they had been replaced with!
The ONLY time the P Zero gets any kind of good reports from owners - is if they have "over tyred" their car.

What I mean, is if they have put BFO 18" or so rims on a Corsa/Saxo/Ibiza - which clearly does not have the weight of say an RS4, and nor do their cars "stress" the tyres either.
On my RS4, I had to bin the OEM Pirellis when they still had 5mm of tread, because they really were fcuking lethal in the wet. Total aquaplaning (on roads I know like the back of my hand) at 40mph! ABS activating on all four wheels at even modest braking. And in the dry, the fronts would always lock and be completely overwhealmed by my ceramic brakes. Changed them to PS2s, and the car was very dramatically changed, for the better.
