Fast wearing

Purchased these Pilot Super Sport tires for the rear as I only got 10,000 miles from the originals. The handling and smoothness was great. I am a smart/safe driver and regiously check the air pressure but only got 7,000 miles off these tires, especially the right rear, which is the torc side. The left rear still has at least half the tread left but I will have to change them both. I was told that's the nature of the beast. I will think of sacrificing smoothness for a little more wear life and look for something else.

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.

Excellent Street Tire!!!

Aggressive Street Driving/Autocross Excellent Street grip in either dry or wet conditions, wear rate is also great. Only problem I had with the tires is that they did not match my demands of them in autocross, about 1 second off the pace compared to other cars running the extreme performance category tires, since these are only max performance I give them the benefit of the doubt. Love these as street tires though.

Extraordinary handling

I was impressed with the Pilot Super Sports on my BMW M6 so I bought them for my wife's Nissan 350Z when it came time for replacement of the OEM tires. The car was absolutely transformed! Already a quick handler, turn in became more precise, lateral grip eyeball bending and ride much quieter and smoother. Neither of these cars goes out in winter weather, so the limitations of a tire like this on driving in the snow are irrelevant. I now have Michelins on all 4 of my cars and am completely satisfied. The Pilot SS is the best street tire I have ever experienced.

Spectacular Tire

I purchased this tire for my BMW M3. The tire transformed the car in both handling and how much quieter the car rode. I recently sold my M3 and purchased a new Audi S7, I have ordered a set of Michelin Super Sports to put on an new set of 21" wheels and can not wait to drive on the superior driving tire

My Mini JCW Coupe is HAPPY NOW!!!

These tires WOKE UP my Mini! The handling is incredible and road noise had dropped over the factory runflats to half or more! Handling is off the charts, compared again to the factory runflats. I now can't wait to drive my car every day! I love these tires!

Superb tires

When I bought my BMW 330i new in 04, it came with Pilot Sports. I loved that set of tires and went thru probably three sets with no real problems, aside from some noise issues. Never even had to have a re-balance thru their life. The last set of Sports, though, developed some issues after about 3k miles. Balance problems, stability problems. Incredibly enough, Michelin stepped up to the plate and REPLACED them free of charge with the Super Sport and, man, are these things good. They are even stickier than the originals, and with better ride quality to boot! Not only were the new set of tires provided at no charge, they even paid for installation. This is what customer service should be like (BMW could learn a HUGE lesson here)

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.

2008 BMW M3

I originally acquired the car with a staggered setup and PS2 tires. I thought the PS2's were the bomb until I needed to replace them with Pilot Super Sports. Michelin keeps stepping up the bar on these high performance tires. Excelent ride handling and wet weather performance.

Sticky, Smooth, Quiet, Confident

My Mercedes roadster is now equipped with Pilot Super Sports. These performance tires are smooth, quiet, and confident, both around town and on the highway. Pilot Super Sprots were an excellent replacement choice for the original equipment tires. Road noise is diminished, handling and overall ride comfort are greatly improved. The tires are also very attractive and compliment the good looks of my car. They are an excellent value.....I couldn't be more satisfied!
