Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3 Reviews - Page 8

Given 80% while driving a Jaguar S Type R (4.2 Supercharged) (245/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 4,000 spirited miles
Very good grip in the dry, and good in wet conditions too. Very sporty tyres which suited my Jag S Type R very well but they seemed very lacking in comfort and a lot noisier than I'd have expected from a top end tyre.

I'm not sure I'd bug again as offerings from Goodyear, Dunlop and continental are cheaper and seem to get similar write ups. I'd hope the Goodyear's/Dunlop's would be quieter given the EU noise ratings they have.

A tremendous tyre. In earlier days ran Bridgestone RFT's which without exaggeration were dangerous for their tramlining habits - on a Z4 coupe at least. Moved to [non-run-flat] Pilot Sport 3's on the rear after also fitting non-run-flat PS2's to the run, and the difference is night and day: the car rides beautifully considering a fairly stiff set-up to start with, behaves impeccably as a rule - no more tramlining to speak of, is a generally comfortable and pleasant tyre, and they have lasted very well indeed - 33,000 miles, which for a Z4 coupe I think is incredible. Finally need replacing now though, so a second set of PS3's has just been ordered. If your car suffers from tramlining or has a tendency to wear prematurely on cheaper tyres I can recommend the PS3 wholeheartedly - all in all they're fantastic value.

Driven for 34,000KMs now, tyre starting to worn out at the inside cause of camber, still has 20% from the safety indicator. Very good tyre, grips great during dry and wet is pretty much just as good. Spirited driving and some trackdays.

Given 83% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TDI 170 Quattro (245/40 R18 V) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
The tyres have been on for some time and are now starting to fade. They have been very good until recently when the fronts started to show serious wear and had to have them replaced rather in an emergency as I banged a kerb 2 miles from my destination after an 18 hour journey across the continent.
The tyres early form was great and they really did stick to the road, they really start to fade as they hit 14/15k miles. I rotated the tyres to even the fade but the original fronts got to 16k miles and needed replacement.
Great tyre, fades faster than I would expect but definitely would buy again. In fact, I bought them again!
Oh, and people who sit in the car always think I have a flat when driving across cobbled streets. The road noise over these surfaces at low speed is horrendous and does sound like you have a flat.
One final note, my second fronts came from Costco in the UK and were not AO Audi Original. I have not noticed any difference at all.
