πŸ’‘ Is the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ZP 245/35R20 a Good Tire?

The Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ZP 245/35R20 is a summer performance tire designed for sports cars and high-performance sedans. It delivers strong dry grip and responsive wet handling thanks to its asymmetric tread pattern and silica-enhanced compound optimized for warm weather. Ride comfort is firm due to the low-profile sidewall and run-flat construction, with increased road noise typical of performance tires. Tread life is moderate for its category, as the soft compound prioritizes grip over longevity. Rated 3.5/5 by TirePath, it provides run-flat convenience for compatible vehicles but is not winter-rated and requires replacement in cold conditions. Currently priced from $495.99, it is available through major online tire retailers.
