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.

I have used other tires on two or three occasions with regret in the past 25 years. Michelin tires are the best. There is no substitute. I am very particular with my cars and tires. Any car with Michelin tires is a better car. Especially the summer tires. They grip on any surface: dry, wet, snow, even ice. Yes, even ice. They are quiet, comfort and handling are amazing. PS I never write reviews. I made an exception to help anyone with less tire buying experience. I did not give excellent on wear-life or fuel efficiency because I have performance tires and drive aggressively. Not the tires fault. They perform as designed.

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.

I've had Michelin tires over many years, but this is my first experience with the Michelin Super Sport. Outstanding performance and feel. I was initially concerned about wet weather handling because the tread depth is not as deep as other Michelin tires I've had, but that concern was put to rest during the first storm I drove through. Super smooth and confident in wet and dry weather. The tire even gets a little sticky once they get hot and are driven hard, which results in fantastic handling, just like a true racing tire has. Given the super high performance category, it doesn't last as long as a regular family sedan tire does, but it's well worth the extra money and last longer than other brands in the same category!! So far, this is by far the best tire I've ever had and I've owned 23 cars in my life.

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.

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!

I recently purchased a set of Pilot Super Sports 245/40 ZR17 on the back and 225/45s in the front, for my 10 year old CLK 430 AMG convertible. I only have 28,000 miles on this car and I really liked the original equipment tires which were the Pilot Sport model, recently discontinued. I really liked the look of that old tread pattern and recall the tires felt great at higher speeds. So I was concerned about how the new super sport tires would feel, and looked. After a recent trip to Boston, about 4+ hours each way at highway speeds, the new tires felt great on the road. We had rain at one point for over an hour, and I felt just fine. The Super Sports have a deeper channel for throwing off the rain, so at higher speeds I felt more comfortable than I recall feeling when running the old tires in the rain at highway speeds. The old model tires certainly had a lower profile for rain. On the new tires in the rain, I did not have any instances of slippage or instability at any point in time, particularly when taking the entrance and exit ramps from the highway at reasonable speeds. I also have not noticed any unusual wear on the new tires after about 2,000 miles of usage. However, I do miss the more aggressive tread pattern on the old tires and how they looked on this particular sports car. MB.

I bought Pilot Super Sport 255/40/R19 tires 7 years ago, but I do not use my car much in a summer. For 7 years I made exactly 35,000 KM (about 22K Miles). Over the weekend, replaced my wheels to Winter set and discovered my Pilot Super Sport has significant issue. The thread started to separate. All tires have very extensive wear on the inside edge of the tire (about 2 cm edge) and the rest of the threads is very good. It appeared to me the design issue. Looks like Audi A8 is pretty heavy for those tires, and yet, Pilot Super Sport has the right load index. My winter tires are already 55K KM with identical wear on all threads! Other than that, tires hold the road good! Only this year I could feed slight vibration. Now I know why.

Mounted a set on my 997 when the factory PS2s had gotten a few punctures. These tires feel like they were designed with high performance cars in mind. Grip is great and the ride quality is also very good. I wouldn't hesitate to track these tires and yet I feel totally confident on the road even in the wet.

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.
