Transforms good into wow

Got a new 2011 Audi A4 loaded. The car handled ok until the sidewall blew out on 1 tire at 6k miles. Researched 245/40 R 18 fitments and saw the rave reviews about the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tireline. Bought the tires and they transformed the ride, which was already good. As the ratings show some comfort is lost but handling particularly into corners is top notch. The first thing you notice after driving a few miles is that the tires are warm and become very sticky and picked up grit off my driveway. I was already feeling like an F1 driver! If I wanted to wander up and down the freeway all day then the 30k warrantly might scare you off but as I do 10k miles a year I wanted to get everything out of the car as these tires allow me to do that.

Amazing, Sticky even in the rain!

Just put a set of these on my 350z Roadster and the grip is amazing. It's been raining here for days and the conversion from the old tires has happened during the rains. This has been a great opportunity to compare the old tires to the new and the difference is night and day. I accelerated aggressively from stop into a 90 degree right hand turn and not a hint spin from the rears. In the past I would get a little sideways before the traction control would kick in. Not today! Just acceleration without spin. Stop is just as amazing. I whole heartedly recommend these tires to sports cars enthusiasts.

Absolutely Brilliant

Time and time again, Michelin tires exceed expectations. I had PS/2s on my previous car and was very happy with them. When I purchased a different car, it did not arrive with Michelins so I drove on them for a little while, and then found an excuse to replace them when part of the sidewall was peeling. I purchased Pilot Super Sports and they are fantastic. The ride in my car is so much smoother and they grip through the corners very, very well. Michelins are far and way the best tire you can get and worth every penny.

Persistent leak down tire

After a year and a half this tire has a persistent leak down that accelerates as pressure lowers. It is unreliable and there is no excuse for producing such a poorly manufactured tire. Tire seller is unable to repair this tire despite 2 attempts. So get ready to replace more than one.

Much better than OEM

I need replacements for my Cadillac CTS-V which eats tires. There are few good run-flat options that are also high-performance tires. I decided to go with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports after reading a lot of good reviews on them. So far performance wise they have been great, low noise, and very sticky in the dry. I don't drive this car in the winter snow, so I cannot comment on wet or cold weather performance. I haven't done a lot of mileage so I also cannot comment on wear, but after some "spirited" driving, they have held up well. I gave up on the run-flat option, and just carry a can of fix-a-flat in the trunk. The better ride is worth the trade-off. If they wear well, I would definitely buy these tires again.

Best Tire Ever!!!

One of best wet traction tires on the market. Feels like the roads are dry when it raining like crazy. Best handling tires on the market also. Makes the car handle like it's on rails. I recommend these tires for the best summer tires out there. BEST Choice EVER.

Look versus feel, new Pilot Super Sports

I recently purchased a set of Pilot Super Sports 245/40 ZR17 on the back and 225/45s in the front, for my 10 year old CLK 430 AMG convertible. I only have 28,000 miles on this car and I really liked the original equipment tires which were the Pilot Sport model, recently discontinued. I really liked the look of that old tread pattern and recall the tires felt great at higher speeds. So I was concerned about how the new super sport tires would feel, and looked. After a recent trip to Boston, about 4+ hours each way at highway speeds, the new tires felt great on the road. We had rain at one point for over an hour, and I felt just fine. The Super Sports have a deeper channel for throwing off the rain, so at higher speeds I felt more comfortable than I recall feeling when running the old tires in the rain at highway speeds. The old model tires certainly had a lower profile for rain. On the new tires in the rain, I did not have any instances of slippage or instability at any point in time, particularly when taking the entrance and exit ramps from the highway at reasonable speeds. I also have not noticed any unusual wear on the new tires after about 2,000 miles of usage. However, I do miss the more aggressive tread pattern on the old tires and how they looked on this particular sports car. MB.

Didnt last long

Only 8500 miles on a new 2018 C63S AMG with 285/30ZR20 in rear and 255/35ZR19 in front. The rears are gone and only have another 500-1000 miles of life left till they are completely shot out. The front tires are holding up just fine. Very disappointing. I have never done any burnouts and never taken any long road trips and only drive the car hard occasionally on regular roads.

Best Street Tire in the world !

I used this Michelin Pilot Super Sport size 225/40ZR18 on my 2013 Honda Fit. No matter how hard I drive this car on the corner, never once this tire let go ! The Grip is tremendous, the ride is as comfortable as the stock tire, and the noise level is acceptable ! I think this is The Best Street Tire in The World !

World Class Tire, Michelin Super Sport

It has been well documented by Corvette owners that the original equipment tires that came on the C5/C6 cars was at best a very poor tire. The Michelin Super Sport is a wonderful option for a ultra high performance summer tire. Driving away from my tire dealer, the change was evident immediately. Quieter, less harsh, more responsive and with a 30,000 mile warranty, the Super Sport advances tire technology like no other. I highly recommend this tire over others regardless of price. You will be pleased with your buying decision I am confident.
