Review on MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 275/40 R20 106 year old by Wiktor Sakowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average purchase, there is something to complain about.

Rubber r16 205/55. Bought to replace Bridgestone MY-02 Sporty Style‎ for golf 6 1.4 tsi. The previous tires were afraid of water (I don’t know if this is connected somehow, but there was a directional tread). She cut puddles, but as soon as there was a turn, she continued to go straight . There was also noise - a common thing if the tread is directional. Didn't win in management. Both the old tires and the new ones - both kept perfectly dry. True, on the bridge the demolition was without a screech of rubber, on the bear the screech is good. Afraid of covering in the form of earth, snow - stuck on a country road after rain . Bridgestone MY-02 rowed on any surface, whether it was wet earth or snow, even on ice I was more confident (in Hong Kong it is rare, but it happens). Wear. This is generally a separate article. Yes, people go fast in Hong Kong. On the Hong Kong-Adler highway, the average speed is above 90. I myself drive in places on a cruising 140-150. Therefore, I bought tires with the W index (up to 270 km / h). But judging by how much wear it has during my driving, I’m afraid to imagine what would happen when driving up to 270. Probably it would be enough for a couple of laps . This is especially disappointing, knowing that "the head of Michelin's sports division, Pascal Coignon, has made it clear that the company will return to Formula 1 only if tires again become an object of technical thought, and not just a means of entertaining spectators in races." And the answer was: "All Michelin can do is produce stone tires that can be put on cars in January and removed in December." - Bernie Ecclestone head of F1. The next rubber will not be Michelin - ruinous with them.

Pros
  • - Soft. Plus - not noisy, though when compared with my previous Bridgestone MY-02 Sporty Style‎ - quiet. - A strong cord - it is possible to park in grinding to a curb. - It rides well in the rain, but it is better not to check for the maximum hydroplaning speed.
Cons
  • - Soft. Minus - the feeling that the tires were developed by marketers. The rubber index is ZR, in fact, 2 cylinders were enough for a season (in Hong Kong - it is equal to one calendar year). 30 thousand and the side cord has already climbed. Rear 50%. Moreover, at 15 I threw front-back. - Noise. As soon as the wear reaches 50%, a hum appears. So specific, it disappears only on perfect asphalt. - Only for asphalt. The slightest dirt or snow and that's it - the car stopped.
