Great ride

I put a set on my 2004 Vette and they are great. Quiet, smooth, and handle very well. 1500 miles and the car is a joy to drive. No noise even with top down. Would buy again. Good friend with identical Vette feels same way. Highly recommend them. Be careful of tire pressure. It is important.

Fantastic tire

I drive a 2007 Subaru WRX STi with a KW V3 coil over suspension system. My first set of Pilot SS lasted 31,000 miles of hard driving and performed flawlessly during that time. I rotated and balanced the every 5000 miles and constantly checked and adjusted the tire pressures. I have purchased many high performance tire brands in my life for many cars, but my experience with Michelin and these tires has made me a fan for the future. I have just purchased another set of Pilot SS for my car and look forward to another happy experience.

Outstanding performance

I drive a high performance sports car and I depend on the excellent handling that Michelin tires provide. I recently decided to try a different brand tire. What a huge mistake. The other brand tire caused the rear end of my car to drift dangerously around corners. It was even unstable while going straight on the freeway. Luckily I bought them from a store that took them back and replaced them with Michelin tires. I will never change again. I never thought that there was such a huge difference in tires. I'm a true believer now! My car will always have Michelin Super Sport tires from now on!

39k still have tread

These tires took me across the US 6x. 39k miles tread just at bars. Very good wet weather traction and also snow. I was caught in a sudden unexpected blizzard while crossing the Continental divide in southern Colorado. Halfway up it hit and after 20 to 30 tense minutes I crossed over the summit. Only vehicle on the road was me and Corvette snowplow. I passed a Policeman going the other direction I could see his jaw drop when he saw me :) Mighty fine tire ! New ones being put on Monday.

Increadible Tires

These tires were absolutley phenominal. I put a set on my 2001 Honda S2000 that I used as a daily driver and it was the largest transformation my car had. Great traction in dry and wet conditions, deffinitley out-performed the star-spec's I had previously, in all categories. Although I only had the tires for about 2 weeks because I got into an accident which shredded the tires, I will be purchasing another set for my new vehicle! Excelent job Michelin, praises to the research and development teams in making this tire. Appreciate it.

Solid Street and track tire

Have had tires for over 10,000 miles, the tread is still outstanding even with aggressive daily driving. Outstanding perfomance in wet and dry conditions. They handle much better in heavy downpores than the all-season tires I previously used. Highly recommended for any sporty driver.

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.]

Outstanding handling and performance

I run the Super Sport on a 2018 BMW M6, and I wouldn't consider any other tire for that vehicle. I've tried Firestone, Continental and Hancook, and none of them handled nearly as well as the Michelin. The rubber is soft so you don't get great mileage out of them, but if you're buying a tires for that reason get a Honda. The BMW is all about performance, and this the tire that will handle the best.

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.

Perfect Performance Dailt Driver Tire

Have the Super Sports now on two cars, 02 M5 and M Coupe. Recently completed a 5k round trip in the coupe to Laguna Seca and back to Texas. Super Sports are excellent highway tire and perform extremely well on the track. Very responsive and progressive and predictable. Heat stable. So far noise is minimal. If the mileage lives up to the rating i will have found the perfect tires.
