I can only compare them to the earlier version. I purchased the M&S a few years ago. Michelin sent me a recall notice (I am glad I filled out the on line paperwork) so I was able to get in early and get a new set of tires (MS2). I had put about 2~3K miles on the M&S and had just come back from a trip to FL. I found the new set, the MS2, to ride much better. The speedometer also read closer to the speed the GPS showed. On the MS the error was - 5mph when traveling 55-60 mph. I was running the same tire pressure in each set of tires. I noticed that the tires did not take much in the way of weights from the wheel balancing - a good sign. I do not really push the RV in the corners so I can not speak in depth about handling, but turn in and road feel are about the same as the earlier set.
I am very happy with the MS2 and would likely buy a new set if again in two to three years if the tires continue to hold up as they are now. I have traveled from VA to FL 4 times as well as on trips up to NH and PA in addition to the local trips so the tires have some miles on them now.
