Difference between PS2 and PS2-R01
Difference between PS2 and PS2-R01
Does anyone know if there is any actual difference in the regular Michelin PS2 and the PS2 R01 Audi homologation? Funnily enough the R01 are 10% more expensive

RE: Difference between PS2 and PS2-R01
I remember reading that it was something to do with shape of the sidewall on the inside edge, to stop the effect described in this thread: http://www.rs246.com/index.php?name=PNp ... ic&t=80811. I wouldn't mind knowing how to identify the R01, to see if I've been sold the regular ones as I suspect I have.

Easy enough to identify. Says R01 on it just after the size!

I can take a photo of it later if you want.

Yeah please, if it's no hassle. I'll take a look at mine at lunch.

Not quite where I said it was, but it's there:

I personally don't think it makes any difference. It might be interesting to compare tread patterns.
In theory, if you don't put homologated tyres on your car then your insurance might be invalidated (in the same way as if you put mintec pads on, or bilsteins). Maybe this is why they exist?

Well I've had the trouble where the inner section wears through to the stitching well before the rest of the tyre has reached a reasonable lifetime - due to it rubbing on that arm. Is this because it's not the right tyre? I've also had to take it back twice for existing tyres which had slow punctures to be refitted and resealed, since they had no actual punctures. Is this also because they're the wrong tyres I wonder. If I can find something definitive that says they should be R01 on the RS6, then I'll be asking for their incorrectly supplied tyres to be swapped out - at their cost. I just need to find that link..
I certainly haven't had this problem. My tyre wear is nice and even.andyt wrote:Well I've had the trouble where the inner section wears through to the stitching well before the rest of the tyre has reached a reasonable lifetime - due to it rubbing on that arm.

Maybe you should call Michelin? I had a look at their site, but the PS2 isn't even on it!

The wear has nothing to do with the tyre rubbing on the arm ....
