Michelin Pilot Sport

OE when new now on 3rd set. Tried Toyo Proxes (set 2) as a cheaper alternative, big mistake! When compared to Michies , Proxes took time to bed, wore more quickly and were not as predictable in the wet.
Highly recommend Michelins on this type of car.

Great looking tyre, lots of grip but wear was terrible. Noticeable more expensive than the Continental equivalent. I have not noticed a difference between the two makes yet.

These tyres feel hard compared to my previous ones, pot holes feel much harsher. Ive had them on the rear of my car since I bought them. Ive found that they are an excellent all round tyre when taking it easy, lots of grip and good wearing. If your going to push on though you really need to let them warm up as they seem very slidy before they get up to heat, although this can be fun at the right time ;) On the plus side, any loss of traction is very progressive and can be easily corrected before anything major happens. Id definitely have these again if I could actually get ahold of them!

Compares well with the Pirelli P Zero Rosso; much better in the wet and snow than the Bridgestone OEMs.

The Bridgestone s02 tyres that come with the s2000 are fantastic but these are another step again.

The dry grip is probably on par but the wet grip is really good and they last a lot longer than the s02.

Would recommend them to anyone.

Had (already used) Pilot Sports on when I bought the car at just under 3 years old. I did around 16,000 on them after that before the front ones needed changing. Very good wear on a powerful front-wheel drive car. Very grippy, perhaps not as good in the wet. Good enough for me to buy the same tyres as replacements on which I've done another 4,000 miles

Easily the best overall tyre I've ever driven on. So much dry grip, so much wet grip and wears better than ANYTHING i've driven on since.

The only draw back is they take a while to warm up and aren't that great from cold, and the very final part of tread goes quite hard.
