[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 267118, member: 81"] The PP2's were developed in Michelin's R&D center in Taiwan from what I read unlike the PS2's. I have them on the wife's Jazz to replace the ageing Potenza RE040's. They are very decent tyres for the Jazz at stock tyre size of 185/55/15 (V rated) and are in my opinion better than the RE040 (V rated also at the same size) in wet and comfort/noise. The RE040 gives better road feedback and the PP2 is a bit more muted and numb. However, I've also read many similar complaints of the PP2's when shod on bigger, more powerful cars, and people comparing the PP2's to the FK452's (about the same price). The FK452's is the better performance tyre for the price. PS2's are in a different league if you ask me. Performance wise they are slightly better than the FK452's but the strength is in the way its excels in normal daily driving. Its superbly comfy and quiet and transforms the car compared to other max performance tyres. So far I haven't come across any max performance tyre which betters it in this area. PS2's are definitely worth giving a shot at :). [/QUOTE]
