Amazing tyre. Have used Pirelli Pzero previously and these have out classed the Pzero in every aspect! Dry handling of the PSS is phenomenal!

The tyres perform well but are very noisy especially on coarse grit highways. Will go back to Pirelli P Zero 4s as they are definitely quieter

These tyres are great for road but are not so good on the track. So if you are tracking regularly get a different tyre or an second set for track use. If you are a casual track driver then they will be good enough for most casuals. They will overheat quickly if you push them.

Best tyres I've had for a long time. Even tyre wear at all four corners and very durable. They are very stable and predictable under heavy footed situations.

I believe these tyres were a defective product, as you can see in the attached images only 1 tyre delaminated after 3000km. I've used various tyres over the years including Michelin and I know this isn't "normal wear" from hard driving as stated by Michelin reps. The Previous set of Bridgestone RE050A I used lasted 40 000km.
They gripped well in the wet and dry but were never taken to the limit before they delaminated and fell apart cruising along at 50kph! I would never use these again based on Michelin's poor customer service alone. Its not good practice to falsely accuse the customer on "tracking" and "drifting" a tyre that is not even a month old especially considering this model of Michelin is renowned for delamination issues, according to Michelin Reps these tyres have overheated not delaminated and no refund could be made.
