I have had the Michelin Super Sport tires on my Corvette C6 Z06 for 12,000 miles in 18 inch and 19 inch sizes. I'm very pleased with the tires cornering improvement, better tire grip, low road noise, greater high speed stability, excellent tire wear and overall quality. I drive my Z06 on long road trips and aggressive mountain drives. The Michelin PSS tires perform flawlessly. I would definitely buy these tires for my Corvette or my other cars in the future. I'm a happy customer! Cheers, Keith Nakamura Chino, CA

longest tread life ever on a performance

as a performance car enthusiast, I always have high performance tires on my cars. after having chewed through a several sets of p-zero's, I switched to pilot super sports and have not looked back! better handling, braking & cornering and almost 50% more tread life. I just took delivery of a new SLS GTC and it came with pilot super sports as standard. I guess the boys in Affalterbach have finally discovered what I already knew!

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!

Want these for your OEM M3/M4? Too bad

Do you want to replace your tires with the tires your car came with? Sorry... not happening. Michelin isnt making these. As of 1/15/2016 there are none anywhere in the USA. Blow a tire? Too bad. Gotta buy a set of some other make. If you are going to offer a product Michelin please make sure you actually make the tire.

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.

My Mini JCW Coupe is HAPPY NOW!!!

These tires WOKE UP my Mini! The handling is incredible and road noise had dropped over the factory runflats to half or more! Handling is off the charts, compared again to the factory runflats. I now can't wait to drive my car every day! I love these tires!

Superb tires

When I bought my BMW 330i new in 04, it came with Pilot Sports. I loved that set of tires and went thru probably three sets with no real problems, aside from some noise issues. Never even had to have a re-balance thru their life. The last set of Sports, though, developed some issues after about 3k miles. Balance problems, stability problems. Incredibly enough, Michelin stepped up to the plate and REPLACED them free of charge with the Super Sport and, man, are these things good. They are even stickier than the originals, and with better ride quality to boot! Not only were the new set of tires provided at no charge, they even paid for installation. This is what customer service should be like (BMW could learn a HUGE lesson here)

Amazing in the dry, amazing in the wet.

I finally see why these tires are one of the top rated ones out there. They are amazing in the rain and very sticky when it's dry. They wear very well and aren't noisy at all. You really get the best of both worlds with this tire and none of the compromises. I will definitely buy Super Sports again.

Second Set

I just bought my second set of PSS tires for my Lexus IS350C. I had about 25,000 miles on them, which is good considering I can't rotate the tires due to the size difference between front and rear. I didn't have any handling issues as the tires aged, and I didn't notice much difference in noise. This tire is outstanding in the dry or wet. Hopefully, I get another 25,000 miles out of these!

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.
