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

The price is considerably lower than what is offered by tyre dealers. The tyre is good, very good grip, low rolling noise, seems to have good durability. I recommend it.

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.

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 are definitely worth the money spent for them. The highest class, as Michelin should be. Driving on dry is as on any other tyres. But what happens on wet is something great. The car is like on tracks, the grip is awesome. You feel that you are fully in control of the car and it goes where you want it to go. And I think it's the most important thing, to feel safe. Michelin Pilot Sport 3 are my yet another tyres from the same brand and I wasn't let down yet another time. I highly recommend Micheline Pilot Sport 3 to everyone!

Really good wet and dry tyre, bump ebsorption isn't excellent but my abarh is an essesse model with koni suspension so it going to be hard. But overall really good tyre.

On a Renault Twingo RS Coupe, I needed tyres that could withstand the stresses and have excellent grip, and these are really top-notch.

Riding on these tires is fun to what son admitted doing wonders for the car parking. You probably know what I'm writing. I would recommend.

previously rode Yokohama ADVAN Sport V103 - were good but I was not entirely happy with them. 4x4 car and I had the feeling that sometimes have side slippage on faster corners. PILOT SPORT 3 basically do not improve the situation, sometimes appear to be slightly better and sometimes worse. Yokohama certainly have a low attrition, we'll see how Michelin.
