Tire Description

The Pilot Sport A/S is an Ultra High Performance All-Season tire member of the Michelin' Pilot family of low profile, high-speed tires. The Pilot Sport A/S was developed for the drivers of sports cars, coupes and sedans who desire year round traction, including in light snow. The Pilot Sport A/S is designed to minimize dry and wet driving compromises while maximizing all-weather traction. On the outside, the Pilot Sport A/S features three different tread compounds applied side-by-side using the precise capabilities of Michelin's innovative "C3M" tire manufacturing process. The tread compound in both shoulders improves dry handling, while the compound used between the shoulders and center rib balances dry, wet, snow and cold weather traction. The compound used in the center rib boosts wet traction. These three tread compounds are molded into a directional tread design with a continuous circumferential center rib flanked by high angle directional tread blocks. The continuous center rib sharpens steering response and provides communicative road feel while reducing tire noise on dry roads. The high angle lateral tread blocks enhance responsiveness and handling while the tire's circumferential and high angle lateral grooves efficiently evacuate water to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction. On the inside, two high-tensile, lightweight steel cord belts are reinforced with Michelin's "Filament At Zero" (FAZ) technology under the tread area. Michelin's FAZ spirally wraps an individual strand of KEVLAR across the entire tread area under the steel belts, and again above the steel belt's edges to enhance wear and ride comfort while providing high speed durability and predictable handling.

Customer Reviews

Best all around tire I have ever owned! I waited until we had a few inches of snow to write this review and well we just got about a foot of the white stuff. Stabilty on snow coupled with the Audi Quattro system is incredible! It will allow you to travel at the speed limit on snow covered roads! Rain conditions are excellent. Sure footed and cornering holding power is right there. I have over 600,000 miles driving Audi's Quattro's and I have found this tire to be the best. Period! They certainly compliment the Audi Q system and is an excellent match for this vehicle in all conditions. I often read the reviews here on TR and wonder just who is writing the review as far as their driving experiance. I have over 22 years of high performance driving and instructing I have over 30,000 miles of actual race/track experiance driving Porsches and Audi's at speed on the track... I know what a tire should feel like and what the characteristics should be. This tire is it!... Dear Michelin, Please dont change a thing!!! You have a great thing going here so please don't mess it up!!
