Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3 Reviews - Page 6

Given 71% while driving a Volkswagen Golf MK5 GT 170 (225/45 R17 W) on mostly motorways for 14,000 average miles
Very good grip in dry and wet conditions. Driving in curves, I found them a bit softer compared to Good Year Assymetric 2 F1. In terms of noisy levels, I would say that were low. The front tires lasted about 7,000 miles and therefore I had to bring the back tires in front. They lasted a bit more compared to Assym 2 F1. On the road, I enjoyed more the Assymetric 2 F1 compared to PS3. However, If you are looking for a comfortable sport tire, then the Pilot Sport 3 should be your choice. My next choice was Michelin Primacy 3.

Very good dry and wet grip, one of the best, but, they have lasted just 12000 miles. I don't drive aggressively or at high speed, mainly 40-50 mph on A roads. I expected around 15000 miles at least owning to the fact they are quite a soft compound. They are definitely a summer tire as below 5 degrees they were very noisy and lacked grip. Didn't like them at all in the winter mornings. When they get to 3mm they are also quite noisy. In summary, they are a good tire but the terrible wear rate and the cost would put me off having them again. I have used Continental CSC 3 and Goodyear Eagle F1 as well and while both may not grip as well (only by the narrowest of margins) they are better in colder conditions and wear better.

Factory tires on S85D and my first impression was very good. The tires would control the quite enormous torque of the car really well, both on dry and wet. Never managed to really spin them, even though I tried some stuff I didn't believe were possible (full throttle in the middle of a highway exit from 20 to 50mph). Braking distance, comfort noise and rolling resistance are all scoring high. My issue is the wear. After 20k miles, all tires are about to meet their creator. Great performance for the first 5-8k miles, but after that, their performance was constantly dropping. Maybe it is just the car and its camber setting that is meant to destroy tires, but I was not really pushing the car (well 95% of the times). Next tire is ASY3.

Haftung bei Nässe und Trockenheit sind atemberaubend und die Reifen sind dazu hinreichend komfortabel. Kein Problem mit Geräuschentwicklung, zumal alle Reifen auf den rauen Nebenstraßen in ländlichen Gegenden, wo wir sie fahren, ein paar Geräusche machen. Ich meine damit einfach, dass ich mir viel mehr Gedanken und Grip und Stabilität mache, und diese Reifen sind in diesen Bereichen hervorragend, besonders beim schnellen Fahren auf engen, kurvenreichen Straßen und plötzlichen Schräghängen mit Gefälle und Steigungen. Der Verschleiß ist nicht das, was man vernünftigerweise von einem Premiumreifen erwarten könnte, selbst wenn man die rauen Oberflächen bei unseren meisten Fahrten in Betracht zieht. Die Vorderreifen hielten 21.000 Kilometer, bevor wir sie ersetzen mussten, weil sie schon ziemlich nachließen. Über die lange Distanz/auf Autobahnen waren sie in Ordnung, nicht aufdringlich geräuschvoll.

Habe meine Continental Sport Contact 2 Reifen gegen diese getauscht. Handling und Grip sind auf nasser wie trockener Fahrbahn exzellent. Sehr gut für Fahrsport. Ich hoffe, dass der Abrieb gering ist.

Die besten Reifen, die ich je hatte... extrem griffig bei Nässe und Trockenheit. Die Reifen hielten viel länger als gedacht. Sehr empfehlenswert, ich habe gerade ein neues Paar bestellt. Bin vollkommen von der Performance dieses Reifens auf nasser Strecke überzeugt.

Given 94% while driving a Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec B (225/40 R18) on mostly town for 5,000 average miles
Ai commencé à acheter ces pneus après avoir eu des pneus pas cher asiatiques. Bonne leçon pour moi.
Dès le début, j'ai mieux senti la voiture! Moitié moins de bruit de la route et beaucoup moins de résistance au roulement. Sur le sec pneu accroché à la route. Sur le mouillé vous vous sentez encore attaché à la route, nécessite une bonne poussée juste que les pneus arrêtent la traction. La consommation de carburant dans mon cas est allée de 13,8 à 13,4 au fil du temps. Je suis très heureux que ces pneus amortissent une partie de leur coût de cette façon. Vivant à Melbourne, en Australie, les conditions routières ne sont jamais très mauvaises en vrai. Mais ces pneus sont super!

Contexte :
après plusieurs voitures de sport j'ai dû prendre ce break pour des raisons familiales et financières
acheté la voiture avec des silverstone evol8 pas cher à moitié usés.
les ai abandonnés avant la limite car ils étaient mauvais et s'usaient trop vite
mon moteur est de faible puissance, mais je n'aime pas ralentir dans les virages maintenant avec seulement 4 ps3 et 4 amortisseurs bilstein c'est une voiture dynamique
pneu :
sur le sec je ne peux évidemment pas rien reprocher à la traction, mais il est très difficile de faire du sous-virage plus et pas raisonnablement sur la voie publique
l'adhérence sur sol mouillé est impressionnante et ils sont très progressifs et reprennent l'adhérence très tôt. J'ai récemment fait 200 km d'autoroute à 135 km / h vitesse GPS avec le régulateur sous la pluie avec une grande confiance
le freinage est bon, surtout sur le mouillé
le confort et surtout le bruit sont une amélioration par rapport aux précédent pneus pas cher
j'ai été surpris de ma consommation de carburant qui a baissé d'environ 0,5 L de 10 à 9.5L / 100 km et l'usure est bonne à ce jour (35000 km estimés)
la direction pourrait être plus précise, mais comme ma voiture n'est pas une voiture de sport de toute façon je suis heureux de laisser un peu de direction pour plus de confort

je choisirais un pneu différent pour une vraie voiture de sport (pss, PS4, csc6; eagle F1 asym3), mais pour le tourisme rapide et sûr, ils sont biens, même si ils sont un peu cher (500 euros pour 4, montés)

Les meilleurs pneus que j'ai jamais eus, très adhérents sur le mouillé et le sec. Les pneus ont duré beaucoup plus longtemps que prévu. Je recommande fortement ces pneus, je viens d'en commander une nouvelle paire. Très confiant dans la performance des pneus sur route mouillée.

Given 87% while driving a Skoda Fabia vRS (205/45 R16) on a combination of roads for 27,961 average miles
Exceptional tire from the beggining.I use them in both urban and highway use,very little in gravel and 5 or 6 times in snow.In dry conditions and with good tarmac they are just superb.There is no need to warm them before use such as other tires because they have soft rubber,even if you want to push them with high speeds or in fast bends.The same performance you will meet in worse quality tarmac where other tires will slip,these ones just gives you full grip.In wet roads and in heavy rain, they are awesome, not even thinking of aquaplaning, these tires gives you freedom to drive the car as you want with no fear at all.In snow,i use them a little.As long as they are summer tires you do not seek too much grip but with low speed and carefull driving they are ok. The wear is what are you waiting for a soft tire,after 1 year and about 12.500 miles (20000 km) the first signs of wear shown up,from the inside first,because the car is lowered from its factory unlike the cheaper versions of fabias, and some other very small split and cracks in the sidewalls.Unti then no problems in handling.They are very very comfort in driving,the car runs smoothly in every surface and no noises from the road and tires comes into the cabin.The second year of use,i change the front tires to the back and use them for another 15.500 miles (25000 km). They were still very good in dry and wet roads but when second year passed, the first months they show enough "tired" and it slips a little if you puss them hard,or in slippery surfaces.I don't say they are dangerous but the show you that its time to change them...With carefull driving and no "street races" etc they are very safe,very comfort,they dont become harder and it will last you 3 years for sure.The noise stays in teh same levels (very quiet) such as the driving comfort and road feedback.I strongly recommend to everyone to choose them.

The wet and dry is really good. This tire enable to cut puddles of water confident in high speed of 90km/h. Only disappointed is the wear off is pretty fast.

AWESOME.
Stick like stuff to a blanket in the wet, brilliant feedback it's like they are one with the tarmac.
Comfortable, great stopping distance feedback nice understeer. What more can I say.

Replaced Eagle F1's which had developed a nasty vibration due to collapsed casings, even with 5K still left to go.

Purchasing again.
