I have always heard good things about the road 2s.
I still have plenty left on the sides too! Just the center is about gone... Hmmmm, how to ride at a 50* angle all the time...

I'm wondering about the funny wear and vibes from them too, also being a michelin.

I've had zero issues with them in that department. Actually, zero issues with them at all. They stick to the road very well and there's almost no wear on them so far.

Try riding around Laramie, WY. It's so windy there, you can be riding straight and still be leaned way over. Just watch out when you go behind a hill and the wind's blocked--you'll scoot over into the next lane.
