As the title
Compared to other companies tyres, how big do michelins compare?
I'm looking at getting some Dry2 Mountains in either a 2.0" or 2.15" depending on how big they blow up

for eg, how big are they compared to:
Maxxis Crossmark/Advantage 2.1"
Maxxis High Roller 2.35"
Kenda Nevegal/Blue Groove 2.1"
Continental Speed King 2.3"
Continental Race King 2.2"
Continental Mountain King 2.2"
Bontrager ACX non-TLR/TLR 2.2"
Specialized the captain 2.0"
Specialized Fast Trak LT 2.2"

Michelins usually come up pretty much bang on the money for their size in my experience.

I have a pair of the 2.3" Dry 2's (yet to be used, but currently one is fitted to a wheel), and they come up very much like a 2.3" tyre. They're not big for their stated size (unlike say the new Conti tyres) and they're not small for their stated size (unlike say the old Conti Vert Pro's).

So I'd guess the 2 and 2.15 versions are pretty similar!

If in doubt, go bigger I say. They're designed as a fast rolling tyre, they look pretty grippy for what they are, but having a bit more rubber in contact with the ground is always a good thing in my book.
