This tire is one of the best high performance summer tires out there, built by Michelin for ultimate traction and steering response. The Pilot Sport 3 comes as original equipment on Audi A5's, Mercedes E63 AMG's, and more. Available speed ratings for this tire are: Y (186 mph) and W (168 mph). When going max speed on tires like these you want to increase the psi in your tires accordingly.
The Michelin Pilot Sport 3 is a performance tire that also gives enhanced fuel efficiency which is a rare combination. Normally low rolling resistance tires do not give the best traction and steering response, but that is not the case with this tire. A 'Green Power' compound and energySaver tread give this tire the best of both worlds. The Pilot Sport 3 is a summer tire that is designed for dry and wet traction but will provide zero grip in the snow and on ice. The tire features an asymmetric tread pattern that gives great handling and cornering control, while the continuous circumferential grooves channel water for traction in the rain.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 3 is the third generation of this tire and it Michelin has improved this tire again and again. Traction and steering response is outstanding in both dry and wet conditions. This is a highly recommended tire that sticks to the road even when pushed to the limit. Price ranges from about $170 to $400 depending on size.
