The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible equipped with Michelin Tires, Tire Line: Pilot Super Sport ZR, Tire Size: P285/35/ZR20, DOT: (N/A). The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, he heard an abnormal sound outside of the vehicle and the vehicle started to shake abnormally. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the tires were inspected and it was determined that the rear driver's side inside tire sidewall was split, and all four tires were warped and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

I HAVE A 2001 PORSCHE 911 TURBO. ON IT, I HAVE PS2 TIRES FROM MICHELIN. BOTH OF MY REAR TIRES HAVE SPLIT ON THE INNER SIDEWALL, NECESSITATING REPLACEMENT. THE TIRES OBVIOUSLY WOULD HOLD NO AIR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT DRIVING FAST WHEN EITHER TIRE FAILED, BUT THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TIRE SIZES ARE 315/19/25 ZR RATED AND COST ALMOST $500 EACH. FROM MY READING AND POSTING ON 6SPEEDONLINE.COM, I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED JUST TO ME.

Michelin pilot sport PS2: what the numbers tell you
A UTQG of 220 is short-life by design. This is a high-grip compound that trades wear life for grip. Expect 15,000-25,000 miles of useful tread on a daily-driven vehicle. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.
Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a general tire built for the passenger segment, the Pilot Sport PS2 is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires are praised for their exceptional grip, responsive steering, and precise cornering in both dry and wet conditions. Customers report a smooth, comfortable ride with impressive performance. The tires are described as durable and long-lasting, though some note they may wear faster than standard all-season tires. Overall, the tires are highly recommended for their outstanding handling and traction, though the premium price is noted as a potential drawback. Michelin pilot sport ps2 were nearly perfect for smothe rides absolutely perfect for grip and have an interesting tread pattern, they offered multiple opportunities to get the feel of wet roads Great tires fit great, great traction handle very good and overall a very good tire highly recommend these. Going ti get another set for my other car soon
