Much better than OEM

I need replacements for my Cadillac CTS-V which eats tires. There are few good run-flat options that are also high-performance tires. I decided to go with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports after reading a lot of good reviews on them. So far performance wise they have been great, low noise, and very sticky in the dry. I don't drive this car in the winter snow, so I cannot comment on wet or cold weather performance. I haven't done a lot of mileage so I also cannot comment on wear, but after some "spirited" driving, they have held up well. I gave up on the run-flat option, and just carry a can of fix-a-flat in the trunk. The better ride is worth the trade-off. If they wear well, I would definitely buy these tires again.

Super Confidence

Wow! My AMG rips and feels awesome. Took the traction control off and it still sticks. Was quite pleasantly surprise how controled the beast has become with no loss of power. Huge upgrade from the old stock tires which barely lasted 15000 miles; Plus the stocks costs more. Quiet and comfortable for normal daily driving. And fun and confident when unleash your power on the road. It's like driving a totally different car.

The only performance tire I'll ever buy

I bought the Pilot Super Sports as the 3rd set of tires for my heavily modified BMW 335i. These tires took my car to a whole different level of performance. Their grip on the dry land and especially on the wet roads are remarkable. My wife was a little skeptical about the additional price, but as soon as I took her out in my car and showed her how dependable and SAFE they are, she literally said to me, "I don't ever want you to buy another tire". The grip and performance are truly top notch and why every supercar and hypercar maker puts Michelins on their cars. These are the pinnacles, the best, second to none. And for them to be priced so that everyday guys like me can buy them, that's just remarkable. THANK YOU MICHELIN!!!!

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.

G35

I have installed Michelin Pilot Tires in my G35 since new(original tires). I have not liked the very short life they have. These new Pilot Super Sport are a good compromise between a good grip and durability. These tires las a little longer but they are not as "grippy" as the Pilots II.

PIOLOT SUPER SPORT...WOW!

I have a 2003 BMW 530I w/ sport M suspension. As soon as I installed Michelin Super Sports my car evolved to the next level. They are very smooth riding and quiet yet are great for aggressive handling. So far, minimal/very good wear. I would buy again.

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.

Good Product

I purchased a set of four about 45,000 miles ago, and have had only two flats during that time. The treads are ok, but I have a crack all the way around the outer edge. Is this very unusual? It did not happen with my original equipment tires used 7.5 years. I have used this set about 7.5 years, also. THX/"CHUCK"

Excellent tires!

I have a set of 255/35 and 275/30 on my 2005 M3 ZCP that I mainly use as a daily driver I absolutely love these tires they hold up well, grip superb, and after a few month and a few thousand miles later they still look and handle like I just put them on. Only complaint I have is why I never got these sooner and why wernt they free

Going on 50 years of driving on Michelin

Replacing the tires on my BMW 330ci convertible was like getting a new car. They are quiet, have a solid grip always surprising me with holding power, and they provide a ride I didn't know the car had in it. I have been a loyal buyer of Michelin tires for over 49 years now!!!
