Description

I'm selling a set of Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season Tires in excellent condition with only 4k lightly driven miles. I had these on my girlfriend's Mercedes C240 but we've decided to sell her car so I took these really nice tires off to sell separately. We also have way too many tires sitting around as you can tell from one of the pictures below, so I need to let these incredible tires go. The tires have 8/32" of tread depth (10/32" when brand-new) so they are almost new.

These tires will also generally fit well on cars that use a 205/55-16, 215/55-16, or 215/50-16. They were originally purchased from TireRack for $700 when new last Fall. And I'll leave it to TireRack to give you a proper description of the tire:

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.

Here you can see even wear (all 4 look like this):


I don't think my girlfriend likes having all my tires in her office (hence the sale):


This is the picture from over on TireRack where I purchased them:

bump, this is an awesome buy for someone with 16" wheels on a 320/323/325/328
