I was disappointed on these tires for wear of the tread. Tires 0315 drove them 30,000 driving mostly moderate wife. Tires on the front 4mm. Tyre, so 6mm. Not worth the price.

I looked for a suitable tyre for summer for a BMW 318d E91 with sports suspension (M-kit) and I decided to buy Michelin Pilot Sport 3, expecting this tyre to achieve high results. As for now, I am partially satisfied. Here is the answer why. Its advantages are very good handling, high driving precision, also on wet surfaces, short braking distance, low rolling resistance (since I fitted Michelin Pilot Sport 3 to my car, I didn’t notice any change in fuel consumption). It has good resistance to mechanical damage – I happened to drive on a curb at ca. 25 MPH at the angle of 30 degrees, the wheel slid off and the edge scraped the wheel. The alloy wheel was damaged and the tyre didn’t have any signs of that hit. They also absorb the bumps well (and these are non-Run Flat tyres) despite its relatively low profile. Its drawback is definitely its noise level. I can hear their humming (tyres are 225/45R17) at 40 MPH already, and above 60 MPH it combines with the sound of the air around the car. I was expecting this tyre to be much more quiet, despite the fact it’s a “sports” tyre. I don’t rate its wear as I have only done ca. 1800 miles, and as for now there are no signs of wear.

very good grip on dry roads and speed as well as slightly wet, the regret I changed the tires and put another type (michellin pilot-sport) is very soft an and does not make for fast driving in connection with the pilot exalto

Very good in the wet, but tire wear on the edge of theft! Maybe not suitable for peugeot 508/gt, but excessive strains the length of 20.000km not recommended. Same problem on a similar car to your colleague!

Absolutely a marvelous tyre! I have 255/35/18 fitted all round on my BMW 330ci M Sport and the grip is unbelievable. I trust these tyres totally in the dry and wet. I do recommennd for summer driving only.... ....and are NOT suitable for slush/ice/snow. They are useless..... but however, I change my tyres over to Michelin Winter tyres between the months of late November to April and again they are brilliant....No getting stuck in the snow with these! Highly recommend the above tyres. NR

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 is a great tyre which has nevel let me down. It's a high class product, but its wear is very poot. It had less than 4 mm of tread after only one season. Other than that, I have nothing to complain about, but Michelin should be ashamed of such tricks like they did with Michelin Pilot Sport 3.

I have 320HP and 700Nm BMW. Tire sensational - quiet soft, traction improved by PZ Rosso. Few come down after 10 tys.km 1mm on the rear axle, so far there is no better.
