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.

Best tires for my BMW M3

Super Sports came standard on my 2017 BMW M3 (with competition package) I am soon updating my ECU etc with a Dinan ECU tuner, intake and Heat Exchanger. Traction will become a real issue, so I'm upping my rear 275s to Pilot Super Sport 305s. In spite of my present 507 HP the Michelins really grip the road. In tight corners I feel like I'm on rails.

Best performing tire ever

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.

Highly recommened purchase

Fair weather driving only. The handling 4 sure,look of the tire is also a plus but this was one of the best upgrades I could have done to my 350Z. These are just an all around well designed tire. You can tell when taking high speed turns,the stopping and acceleration. Michelin is the best they put it all together in this tire. They make me want to get another set for my Z now. I hope Michelin never stops making this tire and if they do please put me on the contest list to win a set. Thank you very much Michelin for making this driver very happy on my purchase.

Look versus feel, new Pilot Super Sports

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.

Mixed feelings about PSS tires

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.

Super sport

I have these on my 2014 corvette. It's a vette! I'm Canadian and the winters are cold. The tires are by far the best. Not so much spring and fall. They cannot survive the cold. I'm looking into the as3+. I hope they are as good as these super sports.

Superb tires

I purchased the tires in June for my BMW 650i convertible and have driven cross country - some 6000 miles - in the last two months and have beem amazed at the ride comfort, lack of road noise compared to the factory run flats and the handling and grip of these tires. I tend to drive aggressively and the tires have responded well in every situation. Highly remommend these tires.

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.

Road huggers

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.
