Review on MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 275/40 R20 106 year old by Ada Kowalczyk ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

225/45 R 17 Y for Skoda Superb. I installed it in May 2022, I rode it until November 2022, when it started to snow, because at minus 5 the rubber does not harden, I traveled 15,000 km. Didn't rotate tires. Front cylinders wear 90%, rear wear about 60%. There are no hernias, cuts, the protector is worn evenly. The driving style is moderate: I never started with axle box, I didn’t slow down with a whistle. The average speed on the highway is 130-140 km / h. A couple of times accelerated to 245 when you get hooked with someone. I think that I made a mistake in choosing the "Y" speed index, because I read on the Internet that the higher it is, the higher the concentration of the soft mixture in the cylinder, which allows the cylinder to almost dig into the asphalt, but also wear out at "cosmic speed". Now I'll ride somewhere until May, and most likely I'll take the same one, but with a speed index "W" in the hope that for such a lot of money, the rubber will live longer. I stopped at Michelin, because before Skoda I had an Avensis 2.4L. stood on it Dunlup. Frank g. But this DUNLOOP or DUNLOOP. The herringbone protector went and there was terrible acoustic discomfort in the cabin. I threw it away, took the Michelin Pilot Exalto (made in France) Cylinders were brought by a friend from France itself. My friends - it was a fairy tale. Drove about 30,000 km. , Wear 50%, and sold in 2022 Avensis with tires. I wanted to take the same Skoda, but Pilot Exalto with a width of 225 mm. do not release, only up to 215 mm.

Pros
  • Quiet, holds the road well, the track is not felt, soft, the presence of a protective side for the disk, cuts puddles perfectly, absolute confidence on wet pavement, the car enters turns amazingly, like on rails.
Cons
  • WEAR, WEAR, WEAR!
