What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 12 owner reviews found online.

The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP generally receives positive reviews for successfully bridging the gap between run-flat safety and high-performance capabilities. Users frequently praise its exceptional dry and wet grip, impressive tread life for a performance tire, and surprisingly refined comfort compared to other run-flats.

Pros

Exceptional dry and wet grip with a glued-to-the-road feel
Improved ride comfort and lower cabin noise compared to standard run-flats
Predictable handling with gentle breakaway characteristics near limits
Impressive tread life and durability over multiple years and miles

Cons

Stiff or rock-hard ride quality when kept at recommended manufacturer pressures
Softer sidewalls can introduce a spongy or wobbly feel during rapid direction changes on certain vehicles
Frustrating warranty terms for staggered setups
Higher noise levels compared to non-performance tires

Worth knowing

BMW owners (such as E93 320 and Z4 models) report varying experiences, ranging from incredible high-speed stability to a slightly spongy responsiveness due to flexible sidewalls.
Cadillac CTS V-Sport drivers noted that the tires effectively prevent rear-wheel spin during hard acceleration while outperforming original OEM Pirelli options.
