Super Sports are a huge improvement

I bought the Pilot Super Sports to replace the stock run flats on my BMW 335i coupe. Huge improvement. I can feel how the car is gripping the road now. I tracked the car with the run flats before moving to the super sports and what an amazing difference. Tires ae a bit quieter as well.

Best tires, I would buy this tires again

These 235/40ZR-18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport XL tires are on my 2007 Audi A4 3.2 Sports Line and they are GREAT!!! These tires have better traction, rides smoother and quieter than before. Most of all, they made the car feel much better, leading to greater confidence when cornering and braking and thus, overall safety. I would certainly recommend these tires to my family members and friends. One should never compromise on brakes and tires and this is a good example of me buying these excellent tires for summer driving. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance of these tires.

Wobble under accelleration

A tire I want to love, however on high powered Mustangs and Corvettes they have a wobble issue under acceleration. Sure wish this wasn't the case but it is. Do a search on the internet, it's a common issue. I have a 2014 GT500 and the tires will scare you as they are unstable with 600hp. Traction, handling, wear, all excellent, stability under acceleration poor. Michelin, I'd love to talk to someone about this and get it resolved in a future high performance tire.

Pilot Super Sport on a Staggered Tesla Model S

First off, I buy and have bought tires from other manufacturers, but I always come back to Michelins... They always have the most consistent wear patterns and dependable grip across all conditions. I use them on my motorcycles where they have literally saved my life and on all my vehicles, to trucks, and our two Tesla Model S'. This review is for the cars, which weigh in a a hulking 4825 and 4945 lbs a piece!!! The Michelin Pilot Super Sports shouldn't be able to carry that kind of load, but they do it easily. We use the power of the electric motors and the rear tires show the burden of that power, but it's not the tires fault. Love them!

Finally, a tire that lives up to its rep

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.

Top Notch Performance Tire!

Before buying I did lots of research and it was nearly unanimous that the Michelin Pilot Super Sport is the absolute best wet and dry performance tires you can get for my car (Honda S2000). If you have a nice sports car that might see wet road conditions, this is the one for you.While a softer Extreme Summer Performance (ESP) tire is a bit better in dry conditions, this tire will give you superior wet grip. Plus, it'll have more life than an ESP tire. I've been very happy with this tire and hope they'll give me many miles of life.

Great grip on this tire!

I wore my previous tire down to the cord on the inside edge of both tires. Bad camber maybe? They were 265/40/18 and I moved to the Michelin Super Sport 265/35/18 and the ride and grip is amazing. It is totally stable and it grabs hard when I accelerate through a tight corner. It just won't slide on me anymore. My 11 year old Porsche feels like it did the day I bought it! Kudos Michelin!

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.

Best tires ever.

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.

Best tire made since the original X

I have only ever bought Michelin because they usually are OEM equipment but mostly, I have the utmost confidence in the company. I own over 15 Vintage Lincolns all with their original Michelin X or XA radials. They still do not even look like they have been driven on. Now, these New Super Sports not only are lasting but look good, handle like a dream and ride like I'm on a cloud. Two of the tires didnt even require any weights. The other two only took 1/4 oz. Ive never had a car that had a perfect balance and Ive had over 100 cars in my lifetime. These are the finest tires since the original X which came on the 68 1/2 Lincoln Mark III. These make my car ride like IM on a cloud. I wouldnt have any other tire. The only thing is they should be about 340 tread wear to keep up with the Contientals but other than that. No complaints here!!! These are leaps and bounds ahead of the original Pilots. Those are the WORST wearing tires EVER. I made the dealership change them 3 times. I finally gave up and bought the Super Sports. Best thing I ever did. Don't try and save a few dollars and buy anything but these tires. That is if your application calls for Utra Ultra High Performance tires. My CL 600 which is a bi-Turbo V 12 and has a 25k suspension is very finicky about what it rides on and this tire can handle what ever is thrown its way. Congradulations Michelin!
