Anyone Tried Michelin Pilot Preceda Pp2's Yet ?

[discopotato03]

Hi all , been sniffing around Michelin tyres to find a good balance of reasonable price/best performance .

I stumbled on the newer (2006 vs 2003) evolution of Michelins Pilot Preceda or PP2 and it looks pretty good so far . People say its quieter than the PP1 and its outer tread pattern is supposed to be or work similar to their Pilot Sport tyre . The Michelin Japan site reckons its water dispersal abilities are improved and load balance across the tread is superior . The same person said not quite as sharp a turn in as "brand B" but far better grip and lots of warning at/near the limit of adhesion .

Nuff blurb . My usual tyre haunt sez yes they are around but probably not in 235 45 17 till early next year .

I don't think there will be a 245 45 in 17 but 235 on 8.5 rim should be alright .

Any info and opinions ?

Cheers Adrian .

Available now for ~ $235 (235/45/17) . Fantastic extention to the full SK/Whitline suspension kit on an R33 GTS25T . Very comfortable and very high adhesion qualities in my limited experience .. I'll be very interested to see how they perform in wet conditions .

Cheers Adrian .

Any comments on these PP2s?

I know it's behind Pilot Sport in terms of performance.
