context :
after several sports cars i had to settle on this wagon for money and familly reasons.
bought the car with half worn cheap silverstone evol8 on 4 corners.
ditched them before the limit as they where bad and wore too slowly
my engine is low power but i don't like to slow down in corners so now with just 4 ps3 and 4 bilstein shocks it is a momentum car
tyre :
in the dry i obviously can't fault traction but it is very hard to make it understeer anymore and not reasonably on public road
in the wet grip is impressive and they let go very progressively and grip back very early. I recently made 200 km of motorway at 135 km/h gps speed with governor under heavy rain with great confidence
braking is good especially in the wet
confort and especially noise are an improvement over previous cheap tyre
i was surprised my fuel consumption went down about 0.5 L from 10 to 9.5l/100km and wear is good so far (35000 km estimated)
steering could be more precise but as my car is not a sports car anyway i am happy trading a little steering for more confort

i would choose a different tyre for a real sports car (pss, ps4, csc6; eagle F1 asym3) but for fast and safe touring they are great even if they are a bit expensive (500 euros for 4 fitted)

I bought these tyres two and a half years ago and have driven them for 20000 miles. They are the worst Michelin set I have had for years .The car was spining during the start and braking deteriorated after 10000 miles especially when cold or in the city.The wear rate was fast.This was not what i expected from michelin sport tyres.This was the reason i switched to contisport contact 5 for my other car which proved to be a trully superior tyre.Sorry Michelin but u should take care of longstanding customers by the performance you advertise..

i brought these tyres February last year and certainly wasn't disappointed, i needed a pair of tyres on the front of the car to replace the mullered conti sport contact 3's that i bought the car on. for me given the car and the power it had, i wasn't going to settle with cheap tyres or ones that had less than great reviews. i have worked in the tyre industry for nearly 10 years and through customer recommendations and through my knowledge i took the plunge and bought ps3's. so glad i did. nice and quiet, stick to the road like the proverbial to a blanket, great in the wet, amazing feedback, soft forgiving sidewalls but nothing in the way of understeer, absolutely love them, probably got around 12000miles to a pair which i consider good for my car as its driven quite hard. I'm looking to replace very soon, now I'm torn weather to stick to what i know or up[grade to the ps4...

The best tyres I've ever had, extremely grippy wet and dry. The tyres lasted a lot longer than i expected. I highly recommend these tyres, I've just ordered a new pair. Very confident in tyre performance on a wet road.

amazing tyres! great in all respects

Very comfortable tyre and brilliant compliance compared to previous Bridgestone RE001s on there. They don't feel anywhere near as sticky however the wear and comfort between the 2 are on completely different levels. Would definitely buy again and helps especially with the road noise and harshness of a classic model WRX.

Very good tyres. Superb handling in dry and wet. Never had any problem although they did wear a bit too fast. Recently sold my car so I don't know how they did when worn more. For the 35k kilometers I drove them they were excellent. For the hot Greek roads in the summer the soft compound of Michelin is currently the best.

Wet and dry grip are excellent and the tyres are comfortable enough. Noise is not an issue as any tyres tend to be noisy on the rough finish secondary roads of the rural area where they are used. This means that I am much more concerned about grip and stability and these tyres do this very well indeed particularly so when travelling quickly on twisting narrow roads with sudden dips and climbs off camber. Wear is not what you may reasonably expect from a premium tyre even allowing for the abrasive surfaces that they spend most of the time on. The fronts lasted 13K before they needed replacing and dropped off quite quickly. On long distance motorway/autobahn trips they were fine, not intrusively noisy.

Started by buying these tyres after having a asian made cheap tyre. Thought of it as a treat for myself.
From the outset I the car felt better! Half the road noise and much less rolling resistance. In the dry felt planted to the road. In the wet you still felt attached to the road, took a fair push to make the tyres break traction. The fuel consumption in my case went from 13.8 to 13.4 over time. I am very happy with the tyres paying some of their cost back that way. Living in Melbourne Australia, the road conditions never get that bad in real terms. But these tyres are great!

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.

great tyre but wear not as good as expected
