Tyre Details

The Michelin Pilot Sport 3 represents a sophisticated blend of high-performance capability and environmental responsibility, developed through collaboration with the world's most prestigious automotive manufacturers. Based on Michelin's expertise from over a dozen consecutive Le Mans 24-Hour Race victories, this tyre delivers exceptional performance for drivers of premium sports cars, performance coupes, and high-end sedans who demand both exhilarating driving dynamics and everyday usability. At the core of the Pilot Sport 3 is Michelin's innovative Green Power Compound technology, which combines outstanding grip on wet surfaces with improved fuel efficiency and extended longevity—earning it the coveted Green X label for reduced rolling resistance. This advanced compound is molded into an asymmetric tread design featuring larger outer shoulder blocks and continuous intermediate ribs that enhance dry road response, cornering stability, and precise steering feedback for a truly engaging driving experience. The tyre's Anti-Surf System technology provides optimal traction on wet surfaces, delivering peace of mind during rainy conditions with an 'A' rating on the European labeling scale for wet grip. Wide circumferential grooves effectively channel water through the footprint, providing excellent hydroplaning resistance even in heavy downpours. Customer experiences consistently highlight the Pilot Sport 3's exceptional performance in both wet and dry conditions, with drivers praising its reliability across diverse weather conditions, noticeably improved grip compared to budget alternatives, and significantly reduced road noise. Whether navigating spirited country roads or daily commuting, the Pilot Sport 3 delivers confidence-inspiring performance that makes every journey enjoyable.
