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

Fitting two PS3 tyres on the front changed the car completely. Exceptional grip in any weather.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 3 255/40R20 101Y XL
These tyres are excellent. They provide good grip on dry roads as well as surprisingly good performance in wet road conditions as well.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 3 255/40R20 101Y XL
I have a lot of fun playing on my PS3s, which I use for driving on the road, for track days, hill climbs, and sprints. With the car staying stable at all times, and the tyres giving a consistent base for me to improve my skills on the track, I am able to track my skills. I'm really impressed with how these have lasted, I think I'll get another 12 months out of them. I can't wait for my next adventure to the Nürburgring!

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 3 255/40R20 101Y XL
For a premium tyre, this is disappointing. In both wet and dry conditions it lacks grip compared to other tyres.
