Pro
- Motorsports Heritage: Derived from Michelin’s extensive experience in endurance motorsports, including Le Mans.
- Collaborative Development: Engineered in cooperation with manufacturers to create OEM tires for high-performance vehicles like the Ferrari 488, Porsche 911, BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, and Audi R8, delivering exceptional performance on the road.
- Dual Compound Tread Technology:
- Outer Shoulder: Hybrid elastomers enhance dry grip for superior cornering stability and precision.
- Inner Tread: Silica-infused compound improves wet traction and braking performance.
- Variable Contact Patch 3.0: Optimizes the tire's footprint during cornering, maximizing rubber contact with the road or track.
- Hydroplaning Resistance: Four wide longitudinal grooves effectively channel water away for improved wet-weather performance.
- Ride Comfort: Provides excellent ride quality and low noise within its category, allowing the driver to enjoy the engine sound or have a conversation with passengers while comfortably navigating everyday rides.
Con
- Premium Pricing: Positioned at the top price range in the Max Performance Summer category (UTQG 300).
- Track Limitations: Will overheat during intermediate to advanced-level driving on lapping days.
- Vehicle Compatibility: Best suited for super high-performance sports cars; for normal sports car owners, the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (AS4) may be a better option.
- Uneven Wear: Due to its asymmetric design and aggressive supercar toe setup, the inner tire tread tends to wear out faster than the outer tread, even with street-only driving. A less aggressive toe alignment is recommended for street use to improve tread life.
Grassroots Motorsports Review
If your daily driving often includes wet conditions, the Continental is the better option thanks to its superior hydroplaning resistance at higher speeds. However, if you primarily drive in dry conditions and only occasionally encounter rain, the new Michelin would be our top pick—especially if you're driving a modern, high-performance vehicle equipped with advanced stability and traction control systems.
