Tire Description

Michelin Pilot Sport "Rib" Max Performance tires have been developed for original equipment use on late model Porsche cars. They are a straight rib tread design derivative of Michelin's Pilot Sport tire line. As Porsche original equipment tires, designated "N-1" (18-inch sizes) and "N-2" (17-inch sizes), Pilot Sport "Rib" tires are designed to offer enhanced acoustic comfort and refined road manners while providing the driver with exceptional feedback and progressive handling. On the outside, the Michelin Pilot Sport "Rib" tires combine some of the construction technologies of the standard Pilot Sport with the straight rib type tread design of Michelin's Pilot SX MXX3 tire line. The uninterrupted center ribs reduce tire noise on dry roads while they sharpen steering response and provide communicative road feel. On the inside, the tread design is supported by two belts made of high-tensile, lightweight steel cords which are further reinforced by size-optimized, spirally wrapped nylon cord utilizing Michelin's BAZ (Banded At Zero) Technology to improve steering response and resist distortion while they enhance ride quality and high speed durability.Ultra-reinforced sidewalls promote fast steering response and powerful cornering, while Michelin's cable beads help maintain the shape of a running tire for better tire/wheel uniformity.

Customer Reviews

I bought these tires for my heavily modified 530+ WHP 911 Turbo. Shortly after getting them, I was at VIR with PCA when I corded a PS Cup tire and was relegated to these tires for the last half of my track weekend... They didn't slow me down much, and the cornering was amazing. I probably cut the life down on the by a fair margain, but I was able to finish the weekend and I still managed to stay at the fast end of white run group! On the street the noise reduction is amazing. This tire is so much quieter than the PZeros I took off the car. I'm also very happy with how this tire tracks on uneven pavement and in the wet. Very predictable and very good choice! I'll put them on it again for sure!
