Expert Verdict
The Michelin Pilot Sport offers impressive dry and wet grip for an ultra high performance summer tire, making it a solid choice for enthusiasts focused on handling. However, its higher noise level and lower comfort may deter those looking for a more refined ride experience.
Pros
Dry grip score of 6.4, which is significantly above the ultra high performance summer category average of 4.7.
Wet grip score of 6.0 also surpasses the category average of 3.6, providing better-than-typical performance in rainy conditions.
Comes with a 20,000-mile treadwear warranty, which is rare in this segment where many competitors offer none.
Cons
The noise level and comfort may not be ideal for those seeking a quieter, more comfortable ride in an ultra high performance summer tire.
Comfort score of 5.7 is lower than some competitors, which might be noticeable on longer drives.
Noise level is relatively high with a score of 5.4, potentially making it less pleasant for daily commuting compared to the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6.
Handling score of 6.2, while decent, doesn't quite match the responsiveness of top competitors like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R.
