Pilot Super Sport

I installed the Pilot Super Sports on my 2011 Porsche Boxster, and am very pleased with the results. The tires stick like glue and I like them better than the PS2's that I replaced. I drive avidly, some track, and NO rain or snow. I recommend these tires as a perfect NEW replacement for my OEM PS2 Michelins.

much better than the original equipment

I did a lot of research, including buyer reviews, on these tires and am very happy with the performance so far. The original run flats on my 2011 Corvette GS were a constant disappointment. It was embarrassing to drive during low speed cornering because the tires pushed instead of rolled when cold. With the Pilot Super Sports my GS performance in both aggressive and cursing modes is substantially improved. I can't comment yet on wear but it can't be worse than the original GY-gen2s. Buy them!

OUTSTANDING TIRE FOR TRACK USE

I JUST FINISHED A FULL TRACK DAY IN MY SATURN SKY RACE CAR EQUIPPED WITH PILOT SUPER SPORTS. THESE TIRES HELD UP BETTER THAN ANY OTHER STREET TIRE I'VE EVER USED FOR TRACK. THEY WERE VERY PREDICTABLE AND HAD EXCELLENT GRIP, EVEN WHEN HOT. WITH A PROPER TRACK ALIGNMENT, THEY WEAR EXTREMELY EVEN. STARTING THE DAY, TREADWEAR WAS 9/32. BY THE END OF THE DAY, THEY WERE WORN TO 7/32 ALL THE WAY ACROSS. BY THE THIRD SESSION, I WAS DRIFTING CORNERS DUE TO THE LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THESE TIRES GAVE ME. EXCELLENT TIRE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THANK YOU MICHELIN FOR ANOTHER GREAT TIRE.

Dry or wet, grips like a cat

2 door coupe, 5.0L V-8, rear wheel drive. Looking for traction in dry or wet conditions, no cold weather here. Installed on all four; F 225/40R18, R 255/35R18. The Pilot Super Sport gives me ride, handling, predictability. Yes, I *can* break them loose, but I have to consciously want to. Otherwise, starting, stopping and cornering is sure-footed. 8,270 miles now, still look new even with *some* abuse. ;)

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.

Mercedes S550 Sport

These came standard on my MB S550 Sport and wow what a solid sticky tire this is. It sticks the car to the road no matter what and it gives me the confidence of throwing the car into curves at high speeds and not worrying about loss of control at any time. Will definitely replace these tires with the same.

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.

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.

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.

Sticky

I have a 2008 350z grand touring - These tires will stick to Kentucky's curves, even taking off fast in rain. I don't think I have owned a better tire. There is a reason why everyone trust Michelin tire co. I have used them for over 25years! I wish Michelin would reward me for 25yrs of loyalty! How about a gift card or a rebate card?
