Product description & features

The Michelin Pilot Sport 3 is a summer performance tyre that balances wet-weather performance and tread-life. It uses an asymmetric tread along with Michelin Anti Surf System that helps clear standing water at speed. The Anti Surf System shapes the grooves and channels in the tread to quickly divert water away from the tyre tread in case of heavy rainfall. It features a rubber compound called Green Power Compound that helps enhance wet grip and lowers rolling resistance.

The next generation of the Pilot Sport tyre range is the Pilot Sport 4. The self-supporting tyre sidewalls in the ZP runflat versions are designed to carry the vehicle in case of a tyre puncture or loss of pressure. Here at Tyres.co.uk, we readily stock the runflat ZP versions of Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric tread pattern
  • Water-clearing tread channels
  • Green Power rubber compound
  • ZP run-flat versions available

As expected, these tyres perform remarkably well in wet conditions, especially considering how frequently it rains here.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 3 245/40R18 97Y XL
Exactly what I hoped for. The car handles superbly in the rain and grips the road on dry surfaces. I would definitely buy these again.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 3 245/40R18 97Y XL
The performance has improved in both wet and dry conditions. The car has an excellent road grip. From my experience, I would inadvertently spin the wheels with the old tyres, but with these, I am yet to have one.
