Michelin Pilot Sport EV Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 16 reviews

Owners' experiences of the Michelin Pilot Sport EV are decidedly mixed (average 68.7%), with its strongest point being longevity: well over a third of reviewers mention excellent tread life, including very high mileages. In dry conditions it's generally seen as grippy and capable, but wet performance is the big sticking point-around three in five owners comment on wet grip and the balance leans negative, with several describing a worrying lack of confidence. Road noise is also a recurring gripe (around two in five mention it, more often critically), while ride comfort is more often praised than criticised.

I have a staggered setup with 255/40R21 in the front and 275/40R21 on the rears I love these tires. They are quite grippy and I find them good not excellent but good in the wet. Yes there are better rain tires but the are not as good in the dry. It's always a compromise. In the winter I'm driving on CrossClimate 2 SUV in 275/40R20 all around and they are better in the rain but much worse in the dry...all about the season and the compromises.

Easy Going

As good it is on dry roads, as disastrous it is in the wet. Comfort and noise are exemplary - the best I have experienced. Road feedback is smooth and pleasant. Full power start is no issue with 605 Nm of torque - there is no slip at all. But this tyre gets very dangerous even after a few drops of rain - the stopping distance is ridiculous, the car feels like driving on ice... Even on dry, the first touch of the brakes, if it's more rapid upsets the tyres and makes them slip a bit (all four by the way). I don't even get it how Michelin released such a (premium) product?! It even has a B rating for wet braking. The wear is not as good as I hoped, too (but this might be because of the high weight). I got it factory fitted but will never buy it again for sure Stay away from this model if you don't live in Cyprus or OAE... Shame on you, Michelin!
