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 #1 Upgrade of Your Cars Handling

I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina by choice mainly because of the outstanding paved mountain roads in this area. I drive a 2007 Corvette Z06 and have recently purchased the Pilot Super Sport tires. This tire was made for the Z06; at least in my opinion. Everything about the car is better; braking, turn-in, corner speed and exit speed. I also have a spare set of wheels with Sport Cup tires and the Super Sports are not far behind the Sport Cups in traction but much better in any standing water. I have a 21 year old Grandson that drives a RX8 and he asked me what would be the best upgrade for his money. I recommended he install Super Sport tires for his upgrade and he loves the way it made the car handle. Only downside is they are expensive but well worth it.

Great tires

I love these tire on my SRT 8. I had slipping problems on my SuperCharged Challenger (630hp/590lb) at the track and certain "stoplight" duals. Now my traction is awesome. Import crowd with all of their stickers and coffee can mufflers are in for more terror on the street now. I never lost before, but now its two of more car lenghts instead of just one.

longest tread life ever on a performance

as a performance car enthusiast, I always have high performance tires on my cars. after having chewed through a several sets of p-zero's, I switched to pilot super sports and have not looked back! better handling, braking & cornering and almost 50% more tread life. I just took delivery of a new SLS GTC and it came with pilot super sports as standard. I guess the boys in Affalterbach have finally discovered what I already knew!

Second Set

I just bought my second set of PSS tires for my Lexus IS350C. I had about 25,000 miles on them, which is good considering I can't rotate the tires due to the size difference between front and rear. I didn't have any handling issues as the tires aged, and I didn't notice much difference in noise. This tire is outstanding in the dry or wet. Hopefully, I get another 25,000 miles out of these!

Review Michelin pilot super sports

Have put just under 1000 miles on this set of four Michelin Pilot Super sports tires under spirited driving conditions in my AMG Mercedes. Quiet, comfortable ride quality. No problems in the rain. Went up to 140 mph without difficulty. I hope that I get good life out of this set. If I can get 20K or better miles, I will be ecstatic.

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!! FAR SUPERIOR THAN THE PSs

Just put the Super Sports on my 2005 Porsche Boxster and I am absolutely beyond impressed! These new tires already handle better, ride better, look better, and sound better than my original Pilot Sports ever did. The only downfall was I had to wait 2 months on back order until they finally arrived. However, it was most certainly worth the wait.

Good wear, wet and dry performance GREAT feedback.

Have had these on an ALFA Romeo 4C with some mods. The stock P tires didn't last that long and on track got "greasy" after 3 laps. Worse was they emphasized tramming. The PSS have been on the car for 2 years now....much better wear, tramming dramatically less, Feedback is very good on these...perhaps even better than latest P4S although on paper the P4S is very slightly better in wet pretty even in dry. I might have tried P4S but at the they didn't have them in 215 size. The PSS also are better than my old stock tires on track in just about every way. 245/215 combo (+1 sizeing) on a 4C and maintain the same aspect ratio as stock makes for a greatly improved ride for street and occasional track day. There are tires more suitable for track only but those generally are poor as a daily driver/occasional track day tire.

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.
