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.

I'll never buy another brand again!

It was time to start searching for tires for my BMW 550i. Based off my experience with my X5 (Michelin MXV4+), I knew that I absolutely loved Michelin's quality, performance, comfort, and overall feel. In my search for tires I discovered there was a new animal in the game, the Pilot Super Sport. After reading reviews from many of the major automobile magazines, I decided to get the PSS. WOW!!! These tires are amazing! It's hard to believe that Michelin could produce a better tire than the PS2, but they did! In fact, not only is it a better performing tire in every aspect, it gets 10% better mileage on the road and 50% better mileage on the track! 100% satisfied with my purchase and Michelin has gained a customer for life!

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?

super sport on bmw

Ive waited a month before I decided to give this review so it could be accurate as possible. Long eniough to to get a good feel for the new tire and not too long so I dont remember the feel of the old tires I use to have. I have 20 in. racing rims on my 5 series BMW and the larger rims decreased the ride quality. After extensive research I chose the Super Sports. Ride quality is a little better but not much of a difference. Tractions about the same. The major difference is the grip you feel in a turn. The 3000s I would feel a slight roll and the SUPER SPORTS handle the perfect. Also, road noise was reduced with the SUPER SPORTS.

Takes my GS to a new level

Just replaced the OEM tires on my 2011 Corvette Grand Sport with the Michelin PSS. I can't believe it's the same car. The ride is so much smoother and quieter. I do a lot of driving on rural roads mixed in with Interstate highways. I enjoy pushing the car to it's legal limits and look forward to some track days. The grip of these Super Sports is unlike anything I have experienced in the 3 Corvettes I have owned. The GS is known for a "scuffing" sound and feel at start up speed with the wheels turned. I was resigned to this. It has disappeared with the PSS tires. Simply amazing! Should have made this move a long time ago. Now I need to get more than 16,000 miles on the set as that is what the OEM tires have given me.

Best Tire For Corvette Z06

I drive a 2007 Corvette Z06 , 600 HP at rear wheels . Michelin Super Sport tires keep me on the streets . I live in Florida , rain and hot weather . I drive hard . These tires handle great in the turns , very good braking , good tire wear after 13,000 miles . I will buy Michelin Tires for all my cars . Thanks Michelin , Good job!

So much better ride?

A great ride. Soft, quiet, gooey, different than what I had. It's a 08-Z06, so it's hard core. This seems to be what I needed all along since I am an old guy looking for the best ride. I use the car as a grand sport and we travel all over the US. The best is; day two with the new tires and I run over a screw, the screw penetrates the rib on the tire tread and does not get by the casing/inner liner. The windows are down and I hear it! CLICK CLICK CLICK and I stop. I see the screw. Pull it out. AND LIFE IS GOOD!!!!

Spectacular Tire

I purchased this tire for my BMW M3. The tire transformed the car in both handling and how much quieter the car rode. I recently sold my M3 and purchased a new Audi S7, I have ordered a set of Michelin Super Sports to put on an new set of 21" wheels and can not wait to drive on the superior driving tire

Pilot Super Sport on Honda S2000 AP2

Possibly the best overall tire for the S2000 AP2. These tires exhibit excellent steering response, tremendous cornering grip and an uncanny ability to change direction quickly in linked corners combined with very good ride quality which should satisfy any driving "enthusiast". Tire performance is quiet and essentially transparent under normal driving conditions although noticibly firm and well controlled when subjected to sharp bumps, so possibly not the ideal tire for the "non enthusiast". An excellent value in the max performance tire category, especially when considering this tire's high wear rating and nearly impeccable driving performance.

It is the thing

I have a 1000 mile on the pilot super sport installed on my infiniti G35 Coupe and it is a fun experience. The grip is phenomenal and the handeling is superb. I just want to verify if they will last 2x as there compatertor, if this the case...then i found my tire brand.
