Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

The Pilot Sport GT M is Michelin's Racetrack and Autocross Only tire developed for a wide variety of vehicles looking for maximum performance to match their race-ready vehicles. They're built to deliver stable dry handling, repeatable lap performance, high grip levels, and the durability required for prolonged race events.

The Pilot Sport GT M is constructed with a high-friction racing compound engineered to optimize traction through prolonged racing sessions. Michelin's Track Longevity 2.0 helps preserve compound integrity under heat and sustained mechanical load during extended sessions, while reinforced shoulder architecture minimizes wear during aggressive cornering. Dynamic Response technology integrates aramid and nylon materials in a hybrid reinforcement layer to enhance steering precision by optimizing force distribution across the contact patch. Integrated tread wear indicators on the tire surface allow for rapid visual assessment of remaining treadlife.

Available in S7, S8 and S9 compounds to support a multitude of race events in different locales or ambient conditions.

Compound Surface Abrasivity Conditions Ground Temperature

If you use a heater cabinet or tire warmers: the maximum heating temperature must not exceed the internal rolling temperature of the tires.

Above this temperature, the properties of the rubber can change and thus degrade performance.

The minimum warm-up time is 45 minutes to reach stabilization. The maximum heating time is 2 hours (beyond this, there is a risk of the rubber changing).

Michelin Pilot Sport GT M tires do not meet DOT requirements, and are not appropriate for roadway use. Michelin Pilot Sport GT M tires are not intended for driving in wet conditions where standing water is present and there is the risk of hydroplaning; drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds if they encounter these conditions. Like all Racetrack & Autocross Only tires, Pilot Sport GT M tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. It's essential these tires be stored indoors according to Michelin recommendations.

During storage and transport, the temperature must be higher than:

Circuit, Hill Climb and Classic Competition Range
Minimum Storage Temperature Minimum Transport Temperature
Slick 10°C/50°F 15°C/59°F
Wet 5°C/41°F 10°C/50°F

On Storage: Tires must not be subject to:

  • Direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight
  • Sources of extreme heat and humidity
  • Solvents, lubricants, fuels and other chemicals
  • Ozone emissions from equipment such as a transformer, welder, electric motor, etc.
  • Long-term storage in a stack.

Non-compliance with these storage recommendations may significantly reduce the period over which the tire retains its performance. The storage location must be dry, ventilated, out of direct light and kept solely for tires. Racks allowing tires to be stored vertically are to be used in order to avoid tension on the casings.

Note on Tire Aging: Michelin recommends using Michelin Competition tires within a maximum of 24 months following their date of purchase (within 4 months in the event of storage in severe tropical- type conditions) or within 12 months for wet tires.

...In wet conditions, they handle heavy rain and standing water confidently with excellent hydroplaning resistance. Traction is strong when accelerating, braking, and cornering both in wet and dry conditions-making the tires feel stable and secure in all kinds of driving situations...

After several months of driving on the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season tires in a wide range of conditions, I can confidently say they’ve exceeded expectations across multiple performance metrics. In wet conditions, they handle heavy rain and standing water confidently with excellent hydroplaning resistance. Traction is strong when accelerating, braking, and cornering—both in wet and dry conditions—making the tires feel stable and secure in all kinds of driving situations. Cornering feels particularly solid thanks to the tire’s well-designed structure, which keeps the vehicle composed through turns. Dry road performance is equally impressive: the grip is dependable under aggressive acceleration, firm braking, and tight curves. Steering responsiveness is sharp without being twitchy, offering a thrilling sense of connection to the road. Ride comfort is another highlight—bumps and road imperfections are absorbed well, resulting in a smooth and composed driving experience. Road noise levels are impressively low. On both city streets and highways, road noise is well controlled with no annoying whine or hum. The tone is soft and unobtrusive—more of a gentle background presence than a disturbance, which adds to the upscale, refined feel. The treadwear has been very reasonable and in line with expectations for a premium all-season tire. After a thousand miles, wear is even and minimal. Drivers expecting longevity will appreciate that these tires are built not only for performance but also for durability. The Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season tires strike a compelling balance between performance, comfort, and durability. Whether you''re navigating wet roads, carving through dry corners, or simply cruising down the highway, these tires provide a confident, refined, and quiet driving experience. I would without a doubt definitely recommend!

...Even in heavy rain, these tires maintain stability, and I feel confident behind the wheel.

I’ve been using the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season tires for just over a year now, and I have to say, I’m thoroughly impressed with their performance. These tires offer a great balance of comfort, performance, and longevity, making them ideal for my daily driving in a hot climate like central Florida. The traction is excellent on both dry and wet roads. The tread pattern is well-designed to provide grip without sacrificing fuel efficiency, which is a huge bonus during the scorching summer months when I do a lot of highway driving. Even in heavy rain, these tires maintain stability, and I feel confident behind the wheel. One of the standout features for me is their low rolling resistance, which really contributes to better fuel economy, something that’s essential in a hot climate with high temperatures. Even after the first year, the tires have held up well with minimal wear, which is a testament to their durability. Another reason I love the Cinturato P7 tires is the comfort they provide. They offer a smooth and quiet ride, even at higher speeds, which is ideal for long drives or daily commutes in a warm area where the roads can get pretty hot and rough. The overall performance is reliable, and they handle turns and corners without any issues. If you’re in a warm climate and looking for all-season tires that can handle the heat, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 is a fantastic choice. They offer a great mix of comfort, performance, and fuel efficiency, all while being durable enough to withstand the challenges of hot weather conditions. Highly recommended!

...It handles well in snow, dirt, mud, and sand (low levels, not a dune)...

Sensational driving experience. I’m driving from MA to TX, TN, GA, & FL. Dealing with all type of weather and road conditions. From snow storm to hurricane weather. It’s smooth handling makes for the quiet and comfortable ride. Especially long distance. I’m fearless with weather but cautious on how to handle in various conditions and the handling is great in my car. It handles well in snow, dirt, mud, and sand (low levels, not a dune). Tread doesn’t wear too bad. Only thing I have is that it does create a bubble if you hit a pothole (which I avoid at all COSTS). Up north there’s a lot of that, especially with the snow plows. Its ability to handle humid temps, given the moisture left, it helps me be a little more confident on long stretch highways, such as Florida. I recommend these tires to anyone and in my opinion, is worth the investment. Remember to do basic maintenance to ensure the best and durable experience!

...They behave predictably when pushed in dry or wet conditions, and they handle well enough in the snow that I sold the snow tires I had for this vehicle...

Heavy all-wheel drive vehicles are not kind to tires, but these traditionally last longer than expected on the A7. They behave predictably when pushed in dry or wet conditions, and they handle well enough in the snow that I sold the snow tires I had for this vehicle. (I have higher ground clearance vehicles for deep snow)

...They were quite literally the best tires I have ever owned and far exceeded the mileage warranty...

These tires were simply amazing! I had them on the Fusion I later sold when I got my Camry (miss my Fusion!). They were quite literally the best tires I have ever owned and far exceeded the mileage warranty. Was sad I couldn't get the exact same tire on my new car. But the Pirellis I have on it are excellent. Just not stellar like these were.
