I'll never buy another brand again!

It was time to start searching for tires for my BMW 550i. Based off my experience with my X5 (Michelin MXV4+), I knew that I absolutely loved Michelin's quality, performance, comfort, and overall feel. In my search for tires I discovered there was a new animal in the game, the Pilot Super Sport. After reading reviews from many of the major automobile magazines, I decided to get the PSS. WOW!!! These tires are amazing! It's hard to believe that Michelin could produce a better tire than the PS2, but they did! In fact, not only is it a better performing tire in every aspect, it gets 10% better mileage on the road and 50% better mileage on the track! 100% satisfied with my purchase and Michelin has gained a customer for life!

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.

Pilot Super Sports for everyone!

I purchased Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires for my 2001 Audi S4 with 600 whp. These are the quietest and smoothest tires I have ever experienced. Also these tires perform better than any other tire I have had, I never lose traction and never hydroplane! Truly an amazing tire, I would recommend these to anyone looking for a summer tire whether they use them on the track or not. Absolutely amazing!

What a Diference!

I replaced the factory run-flats on my BMW 135i convertible with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. This tire kept coming up in all the BMW forums. Boy, were they right! Before, I called the car the Flintstone mobile because it rode like it was on rocks. The Super Sports made it a totally different car. Rides MUCH better. I also autoX and do track days, and the Super Sport has proven to be a very competitive modern grippy tire. I recommend it highly.

Super Great Tires

I am extremely glad that I read other people's reviews before I bought a set of tires. Michelin Pilot Super Sport came on top on many websites by consumers, so I decided to give them a try. The best way to notice the difference is to have a set of cheap tires on your car and replace them with premium set like these. Exactly what happened to me. EVERYTHING improved, from handling to braking to cornering. But what really impressed me was how sticky they are, never had a thought that I could lose control of the vehicle in any corner (no matter how fast). They are a bit nosier but hey... you can't have everything. I love my new set of Michelins and would definitely buy another set.

Great Performance

Use it on my 08 BMW M3 as a daily driver to and from work, have not been to the track and keep traction control on so no drifting either. Tires have grip through everything and were great in rain. 7,400 miles later, I have chords showing as of yesterday. Great performance all the way up to the chords. Would definitely advice others to get these, great grip, really low noise. Other than tread life, I have no complaints about these tires.

I love these tires

I bought a set of 4 Super Sports for my 2006 BMW 330i and I couldn't be happier. I swap them on every summer (set of PA3's for my winter set) and they never fail to be awesome. They have insane grip, great wet performance and didn't even hurt my fuel economy. Five stars all around!

Amazing

I had some older Michelin Sport PS2's on my 2005 M3. The Pilot Super Sports are impressive to say the least. I am actually going to miss having less traction and being able to get a litlle crazy easier. I have yet to push these tires to the limit becuase it is so much farther than my older Michelin's. I am very excited to try them out on a track. These tires are an excellent addition to an excellent car.

Good Traction

I have these Super Sports on my 2004 Honda S2000 and I'm very happy with them. Immediately I noticed how much quieter they are. The second thing I noticed is that this high performance summer tire does really well in the rain. I don't really push my S2K to the limit but for my daily driving these tires seam to have plenty of grip when I take spirited corners. I've only had these tires for three months and have not driven on them in the cold weather yet but I suspect they will perform fine. Another fine product by Michelin.
