The Michelin pilot sports are really good tire in the weather, the wet weather which is good as they’ve got good grip and hold the road well Michelin Pilot Sport 3, 205/40 R17 W, these are specific tires for this vehicle and I feel they handle really well with Michelin Pilot Sport 3.

They were an improvement over the bridgestones in the cold, but under about 10 degrees there's a serious change in performance for the worse, lots of understeer and sliding with corners, again getting worse in the cold and wet. But in the summer, rain or sunshine, can guarantee they will stick like crazy, no understeer, wheelspin or aquaplaning. The fronts have only lasted me 6,000 miles though, which I am disappointed by, although the backs are showing almost no signs of wear.
