Product description

  • High-performance tyre for powerful cars.
  • Road holding and braking on wet surfaces.
  • Fuel savings and mileage.

A high-performance tyre, the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 combines road, environmental and technological qualities. More universal than its predecessor, the PS2, it is suitable for both sports MPV's and powerful saloons.

Safety. On wet roads, the new compound of the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyre ensures excellent road-holding in corners and unrivalled braking performance*. By evacuating large volumes of water, the Anti Surf System pushes the limits of aquaplaning even further away.

Drive. Good driving sensations: high steering precsion, due to the planned deformation programmée of the tread that stiffens at high speed.

Environment. The Green Power Compound technology reduces fuel consumption and increases mileage (+ 10% compared to the Pilot Sport2).

* The Michelin Pilot Sport 3 brakes 3 metres shorter than the Michelin Pilot Sport 2. Test conducted in 2009 by the independent test centre TÜV SÜD Automotive in the dimension 245/40 ZR 18 Y.

What is the rezulteo score?

The rezulteo score is calculated considering three performance categories: economy, comfort and safety. When it comes to winter tyres, the performance criteria snow and ice are added. By weighting different basic performance criteria an overall score is determined. This weighting is calculated based on the tyre size category: economic, high performance or sports.
