Quietly the Best Handling Tire Ever

This tire is clearly the quietest best handling tire I have owned. In wet roads, hot roads, traffic cornering, and basically all levels of traffic conditions and weather they are great. My car is powerful and these tires handle the torque, acceleration and braking without the excessive noise I was accustomed to. Fantastic - another Michelin winner.

Pilot Super Sport

I installed the Pilot Super Sports on my 2011 Porsche Boxster, and am very pleased with the results. The tires stick like glue and I like them better than the PS2's that I replaced. I drive avidly, some track, and NO rain or snow. I recommend these tires as a perfect NEW replacement for my OEM PS2 Michelins.

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.

Mercedes S550 Sport

These came standard on my MB S550 Sport and wow what a solid sticky tire this is. It sticks the car to the road no matter what and it gives me the confidence of throwing the car into curves at high speeds and not worrying about loss of control at any time. Will definitely replace these tires with the same.

I would buy thus product again

I love these tires, I wouldn't buy anything else Micheline are the best tire out there by far. I have the Super Sport they always grip in the rain. I drive a sports car in Florida and trust ne we get alot of rain i wouldn't put any thing else on my car. They always perform and are very quiet when your car sits as low as mine. Love them.

Mercedes-Benz AMG

Last year, I replaced the OEM tires on my Mercedes-Benz AMG with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I use the car mainly on the highway for long trips and seek out winding mountain roads. With the Super Sports, the turn-in is better, corning grip is better, they are as quiet or quieter, the ride is better and they have lasted 40% longer with the same kind of use. Plus, they are less expensive than the OEM brand. Great tires and excellent value!

Outstanding handling and performance

I run the Super Sport on a 2018 BMW M6, and I wouldn't consider any other tire for that vehicle. I've tried Firestone, Continental and Hancook, and none of them handled nearly as well as the Michelin. The rubber is soft so you don't get great mileage out of them, but if you're buying a tires for that reason get a Honda. The BMW is all about performance, and this the tire that will handle the best.

Excellent upgrade for my BMW

I replaced mis-matched tires on my 2004 BMW 330ci with sports package and 18" wheel upgrades. They are much quieter and smoother, handling and grip are excellent. They have really upgraded the feel and performance of the car. It took me a couple of days to get used to the difference but now I would not do any other tire.

Great tire for the Acura TL

I just purchased a pre-owned 2006 Acura TL last year, but it needed new tires asap. After doing some research on-line I found several performance tests of the Super Sport, so I figured I would give them a try. I will say that the dry weather performance is outstanding and the wet weather performance is just as impressive (Wet get a lot of rain here in Florida!). The only downside is the wear. With less than 20K miles I had to replace my tires. The tire store did give me credit towards the new set, but it was an expense I was not ready for. I may rethink my next set for something a bit longer lasting as I do a lot of highway miles. Still, for any performance car, I would say give these tires a try at least once.

Great tire for a CTS-V

Great tire. Grips excellent. Predictable behavior when you want to get the rear end to slide. Quiet tire. Really great in the wet! There is literally no reason (I know of) to buy another tire if you have a higher performance car that you need to perform on the street and track.
