Since the purchase of Michelin Pilot Sport 3, I stopped to notice other brands. As for now, I did over 20 thousand miles. The wheels have gone through much, the wear is insignificant. I wore down many sets of tyres, but Michelin Pilot Sport 3 are one of the best. I definitely recommend them.

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 is a very good tyre. I did a very long trip to Bulgaria and back on these tyres in the summer. They keep the car on the course very well on both wet and dry surface. They are very quiet and due to low rolling resistance, the fuel consumption also was lower. Michelin Pilot Sport 3 is definitely worth recommending.

The best Tyre by far, I have noticed how much more speed I can take round corners without the car letting go and how much harder I can accelerate out of very low speed corners. The grip in the wet is phenomenal, the first time I drove in the wet with these tyres on the front I forgot it was raining the handling did not change until I noticed the car over steer in tight corners. I do not have the Michelin pilot sport 3's on the rear axle, since fitting them to the front I have noticed that the car now likes to over steer and loose the rear end in wet conditions due to the much higher levels of front end grip. My rear tyres are no way near the wear limit but I shall be upgrading the rears to ps3's within the next week. It is not coincidence that high powered cars such as koenigseggs ect all come with either pilot super sport tyres or sport cup 2 tyres. If you have a Fiesta ST PLEAS FORGET any other Tyre, these are the ones to have, I have tried many top range and middle such as Hankook v12 evo (current rear tyres) and Uniroyal RS3, Contisc3 and pirelli P Zero and whilst they have some good characteristics the PS3's blow them out of the water

Some of these reviews are hilarious. I appreciate comments are global but some of the chinglish is funny. Anyway back to the tyres. I appreciate tyres are a personal thing, and after so many cars and so many different sizes, one thing i find constant is tyre wear. Now i find when i replace tyre on my cars, here in the UK you can bank on it being a 50 50 mix of wet and dry most of the year can't we ? other brands grip just fine, some even last a while, some refuse to wear out and crumble away (Pirelli) and others just refuse to grip full stop. I choose michelins now because apart from lasting nearly lasting twice as long as budget tyres, the low road noise is important but one bug bear of mine is when a tyre is half worn and you hit white lines to be dragged off in all directions - well the Michelins seem to wear well and are far more predictable than others. Yes they are expensive, but they last, they wear well, they are comfortable but most importantly they grip when you need it. Funnily enough the Michelin pilot road 3's on bikes work just as well too. and no i don't work for them.

For my leave Michelin PILOT SPORT 3 is the best tire of walking. Driving on Golf 6 GTI 230ch, a little power. I ride very often and fast attack on curves, roundabouts ... The tire as outstanding performance. I frequent a lot of the German highway, 230/240 km / h in curve no default. I would tend to say that the product is exceptional, I average 10 000 km with the front tires on all that I try (8-9 different brands) there is 6000 km I always find myself not at the half. Only downside are price a little but raise the tire remains security.

Tires behave well on dry and wet roads. The quality of the highest level. The longer you ride, the more I feel that the tires are more more comfortable (quiet). Some running at highway speeds and on winding roads (very good handling in the corners). The tire as the most worth recommending.
