I've on my 2nd set of P3's now after the first set lasted me about 55k which is quite impressive for a soft tyre, that being said I read reviews people claiming these only lasted like 2000km or that they have poor grip. Here's what I have to say to them....If I was driving a high powered rear wheel drive and I chose to accelerate into a corner I would most likely fishtail too, especially when the car may weigh about 2t, looking at you older falcons and commodores.

But back to the point. This is a great tyre, I imagine I enjoy longevity more then others because I'm not pushing down 200hp+ on them but all the same these bad boys can take a corner, totally worth the money.

Quiet, grippy and lasts. Worth the money. Due for a whole new set soon. Should get another 5k before rego is due. I will stick with these. Tempe tyres are the cheapest. Shop around and price match. Even though tread is worn mostly, it still really well. I don't know how others only get 20k. Maybe drifting?

waaaaa amazing best tyres i had in my life the gti is front wheels drive and i always get wheels spin and noise at the traffic light when i put my foot down i had pirelli brigestone... Michelin the best no spinning not noisy!!! they well worth the price i love it very happy with it

Just purchased PS3 for my V6 Commodore and when I first got them, they were fantastic. Now that I have put about 1,000km they are nowhere near as good. Now they tend to be 'slippy'. If I need to get away in a hurry, these tires loose traction. In a straight line they just barely hold on under full acceleration. In a corner you can forget it. I'm thinking these tyres must have a thin initial gripy layer from factory. When it wears off, it is no better than any other 'general tyre'. I drive gently, but when I need to move or get out of the way, these tyres tend to let me down.

There's a reason this tyre has so many positive reviews and I'm glad I came across it. The plush ride is outstanding for a sport tyre. It's quiet and the steering is brilliant. Plus they are cheaper then Bridgestones.

I found they had excellent grip in all Aussie weather conditions, especially in the wet. I also found that they had low noise and good tread life.

Class leading grip in both dry & wet, very quiet -beyond my expectations, keep to higher tyre pressures 40psi. Rotate the tyres every 10K kms if you want any kind of longevity out of them. Looking for a tyre that'll do 50K kms & more, then look else where.

update: Okay so I've done a little over 10,100kms in 5mths of fitment and have checked the tread depth, measured up at 6.0mm in three places (7.0mm when fitted new). I didn't think they were going to last but that's a great indication of how I'm going. Very happy with that. Just regular driving.

I recently fitted four new Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres (215/45R17) and they are great. They are relatively quiet (we have some patches of coarse blacktop in Australia where nothing is noiseless). They grip well in both dry and wet conditions, and do not tramline. Would recommend these tyres as great value for money.

I drive around 30,000 km per year and have tried Maxxis, Toyo and Continental tyres on my 2005 V8 Commodore. Most of my km are on the highway but never got more than 40,000 km per set of tyres. The Michelin PS3 tyres lasted 50k and were cheaper than the other brands I've used. Never had a problem with traction around town or on the highway in wet or dry conditions, they always gripped under spirited driving. Road noise from the tyres is almost non-existent. I may try the Michelin Primacy 3 for my next set but for now have just purchased a second set of PS3's.

Just fitted my second set of PS3 to my Alfa 147 after 4 years. (215/45 17) I got 36000km out of them, and very happy. Good grip and fairly quiet on the road. The last lot were 91W and these are 91V but these are less than half the price I paid 4 years ago! $495 for 4 fitted. Thanks in part to $100 cashback from Michelin through Jax tyres but the base price was still a lot cheaper than when I first got them.

These tyres are the bomb. Purchased a set of 245/40/R18 97Y for $1100 from Tyreright (John Hughes tyres) and the price included a wheel alignment and a free loan car for the day.

Finally I can get the power down in the DRY without losing traction with these on my XR6T. Not that I'm a hoon, rather the Dunlops and Firestones I had on this car since new provided minimal grip in the DRY and were absolutely useless in the wet.

There's a reason this tyre has so many positive reviews and I'm glad I came across it. Plus they are cheaper then Bridgestones

I put Michelin Pilot Sport 3's onto my TT and they have been magnificent, even on the crappy roads in the NSW Central West, which are notoriously harsh on road tyres. The ride isn't pure sports tyre, which is a relief. They definitely reduced my perceived NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) in the cabin. It felt like every bump had been softened a hair, but there is no perceptible loss in grip and agility. They're not cheap, but so what? Those few inches of rubber on the road are what's between you and God knows what. Never skimp on tyres!

very very grippy have been happy with these tyres over all.
tread wear is not the best as to be expected
they are very quiet
they feel good as a midrange tyre and are better than most oem fitted tyres such as the stock dunlops.
however for the price i guess i expected more.
having had hundreds of tyres in the past they i would rate them a 80/100
good for a spirited daily driver but if you want more id suggest getting something like a semi slick or even the bridgestone re003.
they just dont have the turn in or feedback i desire
if your a saftey concious driver get them no issues
if your a boy racer or have some serious power go grab some hancook rs3's or bridgstone re003's

Had Michelin Pilot Sport 3's (215x45x17s) fitted to my Subaru Liberty Sports, I took the advice, Sweet As! Will be fitting them to the Outback next (55 profile). Presently converted, thanks Michelin, the reviews are correct about wet and dry, and I"m not a Hoon but I know how to drive after 37yrs. I'd probably like to keep them running for up 3yrs max anyway, upgrade, I like the smell and look of new tyres, beats replacing every 2yrs, and I'd rather the family had good tread under them, bargain :D

Thought I would try some Michelin Pilot Sport 3 as they were on special and way cheaper than the 205/55/16 Dunlop SP Sport 01 which are the factory fitted tyres. Seems that the Dunlops can only be bought from Goodyear or Beaurepaires tyre shops. I wasn't unhappy with them other than they seemed noisy even when half worn.
I upgraded to 215/45/17 on 17x7 inch rims. I wasnt sure whether this was a good idea or not but I gotta say I love the Michelins. Very grippy, quiet and smooth. Time will tell how many kms they last.

I drive a CLK500 and have used Pilot Sport 2&3 in the past. The wear was generally good - roughly 14000 miles per set. The latest set however were dreadful. Same car, same driver and actually more motorway based driving. The mileage? 4500 - absolutely ridiculous. Michelin now refuse to sell these tyres for my car. Yet despite this they checked the tyres and claimed they were overinflated this refusing to replace them. Poor quality and poor support. I'm driving Pirelli MO next time.

These Michelin Pilot Sport 3's are just about as good as road tyres go. I have them fitted to my high performance vehicle.

I found they had excellent grip in all Aussie weather conditions, especially in the wet. I also found that they had low noise and good tread life.

The only real downside is that they can be a little more expensive than more common tyres, but i think they are worth the extra money for the added grip and the extra safety that grip affords.

I would highly recommend these tyres to anyone wanting safe, dependable tyres for their vehicle.
