Terrible Tred Wear

I normally put about 7,000 miles a year on this car. Mostly driven on short trips. Last year drove across country, about 7300 miles. The car handles well, but the wear factor is awful. After less than12,000 I am almost down to the wear bar. Needless to say I am looking for another brand of tire that will give longer tred wear.

Best tire made since the original X

I have only ever bought Michelin because they usually are OEM equipment but mostly, I have the utmost confidence in the company. I own over 15 Vintage Lincolns all with their original Michelin X or XA radials. They still do not even look like they have been driven on. Now, these New Super Sports not only are lasting but look good, handle like a dream and ride like I'm on a cloud. Two of the tires didnt even require any weights. The other two only took 1/4 oz. Ive never had a car that had a perfect balance and Ive had over 100 cars in my lifetime. These are the finest tires since the original X which came on the 68 1/2 Lincoln Mark III. These make my car ride like IM on a cloud. I wouldnt have any other tire. The only thing is they should be about 340 tread wear to keep up with the Contientals but other than that. No complaints here!!! These are leaps and bounds ahead of the original Pilots. Those are the WORST wearing tires EVER. I made the dealership change them 3 times. I finally gave up and bought the Super Sports. Best thing I ever did. Don't try and save a few dollars and buy anything but these tires. That is if your application calls for Utra Ultra High Performance tires. My CL 600 which is a bi-Turbo V 12 and has a 25k suspension is very finicky about what it rides on and this tire can handle what ever is thrown its way. Congradulations Michelin!

Great tire besides comfort

Expected more but a great tire in the dry and wet. I am amazed at how well it does with both. The comfort is way below the rating Michelin gives in my opinion. It has been the most harsh tire I have had so far comparing to other summer sport tires in its class. Besides the comfort level everything is amazing and also the tread life compared to others in its class, seems to last around 50% longer than tires that are just as good performers in the dry.

Amazing tires.

I bought these to be my 3-season tire for my 2006 Audi A4 Avant. After 25,000 miles and life still to go, I cannot fathom how sticky these tires were. I say "were" because I got a nail in the sidewall last week and couldn't find a replacement set quick enough. Road feel is exceptional with these tires. Incredibly communicative. The grip is nothing short of exceptional. I could turn hard enough at autocross events to lift both my inside tires if I wasn't careful. Compared to the PS2, these really need some heat in them to perform optimally. I also think their hydroplane resistance is not as good as a normal PS2. By no means is it bad, but driving back to back you can tell a difference. With that said, these things grip sooooo much better in the dry than my PS2's ever did.

THE BEST FOR MY LADY "G"

Wouldn't have any other tire, especially with a sports car like my Mercedes Benz. The brand itself is why I chose Michelin. The ZR rating that the SL500 needs is met by this brand. I believe in this brand, have owned Michelin tires before on other Mercedes I have owned.

Far superior to the old tires!

We chose the Pilot Super Sport tires based on the sales reps recommendation and our good experience with Michelin's in the past. The original tires on our 2012 G37 were very noisy, rough riding and pulled left or right with steering wheel input. The new Super Sports are extremely quiet and smooth riding (for a high performance tire) and have exceptional grip! While these tires are new, we are confident that we will enjoy them.

39k still have tread

These tires took me across the US 6x. 39k miles tread just at bars. Very good wet weather traction and also snow. I was caught in a sudden unexpected blizzard while crossing the Continental divide in southern Colorado. Halfway up it hit and after 20 to 30 tense minutes I crossed over the summit. Only vehicle on the road was me and Corvette snowplow. I passed a Policeman going the other direction I could see his jaw drop when he saw me :) Mighty fine tire ! New ones being put on Monday.

Up Grade to Pilot Super Sport

Just up graded my tires to 18 inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport. The same tires on my Z06 Corvette . Very happy with this tire on all my cars . I drive hard . My Honda Accord EX-L Touring Sedan came with 17 inch Michelins . I wanted more meat on the street , went to 18x8 wheels with the Super Sport tires . Better grip in turns and braking . Off to Road Atlanta to break in the new tires . Thanks Michelin ! Another great job .

Finally, a tire that lives up to its rep

Finally, a tire that lives up to the on-line reviews I have read. The previous tires on my 08' Mercedes E350 w/ sport suspension were extremely noisy and although they had plenty of tread I couldn't take the noise after 15K miles. The Pilot Super Sports are quiet and grip the road well. I can't comment yet on how much life I will get, but thus far I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. My Mercedes dealer recommended these tires initially.

Road huggers

I put four new super sports on my audi S5 and they are awesome. They were not the cheapest or the most expensive option but I very content with my purchase. They really grip the road have outstanding traction rain or shine. My car seems to like them as well. I have no issues in the first 6 months of driving on them.
