Michelin Pilot Sport

The Michelin Pilot Sport tyre has been used by some of the world’s most glamorous performance cars. The list of users includes BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Chrysler and Ferrari. Michelin have developed and patented their C3M manufacturing technology. If you compare it on price to its competitors you will see that throughout the tyre range the Michelin tyres are at times 30% more expensive. Is this justifiable? We think it is. The tyre product is consistently good and the Michelin Pilot Sport tyre in particular offers top scores on all fronts. The only cpmpetitor we feel mounts a credible challenge is the Pirelli Pzero Rosso.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup

This is as close as it gets to track tyres on the road! Used more recently as original equipment on the BMW M3 CSL this tyre is built for pure performance driving. The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup is a competition tyre designed specifically for serious performance enthusiasts featuring a racing tyre tread compound built for track performance. Word is that this tyre is best when being used at 160 - 220°F, anyone driving in cold, icy or snowy weather should be very aware that this tyre does not empathise with any of these conditions – be careful! Toyo have also created a track ready tyre more recently so we await the early customer feedback on that.

Blackcircles constantly offer excellent deals across a range of different tyre sizes, so please check our latest tyre deals on our Special Offers page. Do you know that on some vehicles it is possible to fit a different brand of tyre from what is currently on the car, you may find a different brand suits your budget and driving style better – so it’s always worth investigating. However some vehicle manufacturers do recommend that you keep the same brand of tyres that originally came on the vehicle as they have worked with the tyre manufacturers to develop vehicle specific fitments to improve the vehicle’s performance.

If you are at all unsure whether you can change brand, please call our customer service team on 0845 200 0022 who will be able to let you know whether there are any alternative brands for your vehicle. Don’t forget that Blackcircles remain independent and we pride ourselves on offering our customers impartial advice on tyres.
