Micheln Pilot Sport 3

[Juicetin]

Costco currently have these at £98 a corner fitted, are they any good?
Would like some user feedback if anybody has had them on a Gti\Gtd or similar.
Thanks

You should only consider 3 tyres (not in order of preference):
1. Michelin PSS - expensive but worth it according to the majority of users. Best steering feel.
2. Continental Contisport 5 - noisy, excellent all round performance
3. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 = very balanced performance, trumped by the PSS and possibly the CS5, but quieter than either and one of the quietest. Compound has been updated recently so it might produce even better results.

All the above are excellent and way better than the Michelin PS3 which is a bit of a dud unfortunately.

One thing you can be sure of: Bridgestones are the worst Premium tyres

Yes its a good tyre, you won't have any problems with them.  Some better options out there now, but unless you drive at 9/10ths you wouldn't notice easily and you will find a lot of worse tyres so don't be put off too much.

You can get most of the top brand tyres for the same money as Costco I would have thought, so its not like its a really special deal..

I ran PS3s on my MK5 and they were the best tyre I've used in wet weather. I subsequently changed them for Eagle F1s and overall they are a far better tyre. I've not got them on my MK7 GTD and they're excellent - think I paid about £85 a corner fitter too.

I have the PSS on my M135i as standard.They are fantastic- really confidence inspiring.

The PSS'S were awesome on the M135i. Do they do the right size for the GTI/R?
Evo's latest test has the Conti 5's winning easily with Yokohama placing a strong second, Pirelli n Goodyear 3rd n 4th.
Bridgestones were 9th...I have them on the S1 as well.

There is a tyre thread on the forum in which I posted lots of reviews.

Yes they are indeed like super-glue in all conditions.Even wet roundabouts!.I know once they are down to about 4mm they take on a whole different personality  .
I'm not sure about the GTI sizes.At least if they do you won't have to source different sizes for the front and rears as with the M Lite.
May i ask why you sold it?.I love mine to bits but it's fuel economy is ruining me.It also seems to constantly provoke me into doing some silly speeds.It's so easy to get yourself into big trouble such is it's nature.

They are a great tyre - the Michelin PSS are better, but wet or dry the PS3 will impress at that price-point fitted. The difference between PS3 and Bridgestones on a tramp-happy MK5 was night and day. They're grippy and reasonably hard wearing - a rare combination.

Personally I'd much rather take other drivers opinions of their experiences than a magazines top 10.

To the OP mytyres are doing them for £85.50 so Costco are not a "must buy now offer" although I believe Costco do a decent fitting service.
