Key Features
- Dual-Compound Asymmetric Technology – Features two specialized rubber compounds strategically positioned across the tread—hybrid silica/carbon black for outer shoulder grip and high-silica for inner traction—delivering exceptional performance in both dry and wet conditions while maximizing cornering capability
- Original Equipment Motorsport Pedigree – Selected by world-leading manufacturers including BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and Chevrolet for their most prestigious performance vehicles, validating its world-class capabilities and meeting the exacting standards of ultra-high performance applications
- Advanced High-Speed Stability – Aramid/nylon hybrid reinforcement and optimized steel belt construction provide exceptional stability and durability at high speeds, maintaining uniformity under extreme pressure while delivering precise steering response and resistance to distortion during aggressive driving
- Superior Wet Weather Performance – Sophisticated asymmetric tread design with wide circumferential grooves and lateral notches effectively evacuates water from the contact patch, providing outstanding hydroplaning resistance and confident grip even in heavy rain conditions
- Acoustically Tuned Comfort – Despite its track-focused performance capabilities, the precision-engineered tread pattern channels sound waves through strategically designed grooves, significantly reducing road noise and delivering a refined, comfortable driving experience for everyday use and extended highway cruising

These were not the cheapest option (by far) when I needed tyres for our Subaru Liberty wagon however I am so glad I purchased these. The grip is fantastic in both wet & dry conditions. I always rotate the tyres every 5,000 and they have worn exceptionally well. They have lasted much longer than expected. I will certianly look at the new Pilot Sport range when I need replacements.
