Best Street Tire in the world !

I used this Michelin Pilot Super Sport size 225/40ZR18 on my 2013 Honda Fit. No matter how hard I drive this car on the corner, never once this tire let go ! The Grip is tremendous, the ride is as comfortable as the stock tire, and the noise level is acceptable ! I think this is The Best Street Tire in The World !

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!

Great all around street tire.

Currently have 7,000 miles on these on a C6 ZR1, no descernible tread wear yet to speak of! Inside shoulders look great. Alignment is super important! I have more than enough traction above 50-55 degrees. More into spring and summer temperatures, these tires really shine. Next to no road noise. I previously had the non run flat versions from factory on my previous M3 and M4, nothing but praise for those applications.

Absolutely Brilliant

Time and time again, Michelin tires exceed expectations. I had PS/2s on my previous car and was very happy with them. When I purchased a different car, it did not arrive with Michelins so I drove on them for a little while, and then found an excuse to replace them when part of the sidewall was peeling. I purchased Pilot Super Sports and they are fantastic. The ride in my car is so much smoother and they grip through the corners very, very well. Michelins are far and way the best tire you can get and worth every penny.

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.

New Michelin Pilot Super Sport 4S

I drive a small sports coupe as a daily most of the year and experience nearly all types of driving conditions. So far the tires have lived up their reputation. The performance is second to none - very nice grip, predictable, crisp response to steering inputs and good wet grip. They are a bit noisier than the OEM's I took off, but that's not really a fair comparison at this point. (I didn't buy them because they were quiet either!) For some reason I get a bit more steering wheel vibration at speed - the tire dealer has balanced the fronts twice now. Caveat: I only have put about 250 miles on these bad boys.

Great tire for a CTS-V

Great tire. Grips excellent. Predictable behavior when you want to get the rear end to slide. Quiet tire. Really great in the wet! There is literally no reason (I know of) to buy another tire if you have a higher performance car that you need to perform on the street and track.

As Good AS It Gets

First foray into Michelin car tires was on a 2001 Volvo I purchased in late 2000, I think they were MXV all season sport radials. On a trip home from family on I-95 North, I was behind a large truck that concealed a giant car-swallowing pothole, there was NO TIME to react all I could do was tighten the grip on the steering wheel and pray. I was sure we were going to crash from the impeding puncture. The impact was so horrendous my teeth gnashed against each other. Amazingly, the car kept going straight, no flat. When I managed to pull off the highway I could see the left from rim had a 3 inch crack in it. But the Michelin tires DID NOT BLOW OUT. What price can you put on saving your entire family? Michelin, (to borrow Volvo's slogan) "FOR LIFE!" Fast Forward to 2011 and acquisition of an '06 E55, a monster of a car. One set of Pilot Super Sports and here goes. My Michelin Pilot Super Sports have not let me down in the several months I have owned them. I am a very aggressive north east driver with a very stout '06 E55 AMG beneath me. This car can rip mortal tires to shreds under acceleration and braking. I have yet to under-brake going into a bend, come out of a hard accelerating corner sideway and in fast sweepers the heavy (4400 lbs) car does not wander, waver of drift off line. Truly a remarkable piece of technology. I literally trust my life to my Michelins. ** [I dont condone speeding to anyone, a hi-perf car doesnt give you skills to stay safe, not even 21 years of racing will, but the latter does help with instant decision making.]

Great performance tires

The Pilot Super Sports are great tires. The handling and breaking with them has been great. I actually felt an improvement with my car going to them over the stock PS2s that came on it. They're also quieter which is nice. I'd rather listen to my engine note than the road. :) My only complaint on them is wear. I'm burning through my rear tires fairly quickly with normal use, no track use. I'm on my 3rd set of rears now with the first 2 sets only getting about 9k miles each. The front tires are still going strong though with about 18k on them. When I just replaced the rears they still had 60% tread. Don't let that scare you off though. They're well worth it if you have a high performance car. The performance, ride, and road noise with them is worth the possible shorter life on the rears and you can probably get better life by rotating. I run staggered, so I can't rotate. I highly recommend them.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport dissapointing

Used it on my 2015 Volvo S60 AWD. Tires are worn out to 3/32 tread after only 19k miles of mostly highway driving with almost no luggage and only me driving. If these tires are rated for 6 yrs and 45k miles, why this excessive tread wear? Tires were rotated every 5k miles and 4-wheel alignment also done every 6 months. The snow ride is very poor and car slipped in parking lot and incurred bumper damage. Only plus for these tires is the handling on curves on dry roads. Overall disappointing tires.
