Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ZP
The Bottom Line
The Pilot Sport 3 ZP is well-suited for drivers who need strong wet grip and handling in a summer tire, with the bonus of a 20,000-mile treadwear warranty. However, its 'R' speed rating may not satisfy those seeking maximum speed potential in this category.
Important Note
The 'R' speed rating is a limitation for drivers seeking the highest speed capabilities typical of ultra-high performance summer tires.

- Dry grip and handling both score 8, providing a balanced and responsive driving experience.
- Treadwear warranty of 20,000 miles is a plus for an ultra-high performance summer tire, offering some assurance on longevity.
Cons
- Comfort score of 6 may be a concern for those seeking a smoother ride, as it falls on the firmer side.
- Noise level at 6.5 could be intrusive on long highway drives compared to quieter competitors.
