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.

Excellent product for the value

I've had the Michelin PSS on my M3 for approx 8,000 miles. They're a great, solid tire. The cornering and braking capabilities are awesome. Great wear too. Road noise is also very low compared to other tires I've had in the past. I've done one track day with the PSS and they held up really well. Overall very satisfied with the performance and dry traction.

VERY STICKY TIRES!

I want to start by saying that I "only" buy Michelin Tires. I have had most of the performance tires since the 1970's and have always been impressed with the quality. This is my 3rd set of "Pilot" series tires and have to say this is my favorite tire ever! Quiet, good in the rain and handles in the dry like (rubber) glue on the road. I hope I don't get over confident with regards to how my car now grips in the corners. I have always been a safe but fast driver and feel confident these tires will forgive my occasional mistake.

Best tire on M5.

Running them on 08 M5, great tire. Hung in there for track day, should give an indication on how I drive, great grip on dry, better than expected on wet. Overall best tire I've had on the car since new. Looks like I will get the best wear out of them.

Up Grade to Pilot Super Sport

Just up graded my tires to 18 inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport. The same tires on my Z06 Corvette . Very happy with this tire on all my cars . I drive hard . My Honda Accord EX-L Touring Sedan came with 17 inch Michelins . I wanted more meat on the street , went to 18x8 wheels with the Super Sport tires . Better grip in turns and braking . Off to Road Atlanta to break in the new tires . Thanks Michelin ! Another great job .

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.

WOO HOO

Installed the Pilot Super Sports about 6 weeks ago on my 2012 Mercedes C Class on 18" AMG rims and WOW!! Unfortunately last week my Porsche 997 had a nail in the sidewall of it's RE050's and although not quite ready for a new set of tires it was just the excuse I needed....so on went the Pilot Super Sports. Although not Porsche N Spec, the P Dealaer recommended and installed them. Noticeable break-in period of a few hundred miles on both cars until the tire 'settles' then you really will start to grin, so if you think they are good as you first drive off after installation just wait. Outstanding wet weather traction, really impressive stability, and also exceptional braking performance wet and dry. You WILL transform your ride, even the fussiest of you out there. I offer no hesitation in recommending these (and in fact am telling people I know to buy them). No sense of wear yet, plus both cars are staggered wheel setups so I cannot rotate. Well done Michelin.

Simply Great Tires!

In a few words these are the best hi performance tires I've owned. Very sticky, with great feedback and good bump absorption. Good handling also on wet. Noise is minimal.Thread wear is good also. The only drawback I see so far is higher fuel consumption and the fact that they are very slippery out of the box, so be careful during break in period. If you are looking for performance summer tires don't hesitate. You can't go wrong with Michelin Supersports!

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.

Great tire besides comfort

Expected more but a great tire in the dry and wet. I am amazed at how well it does with both. The comfort is way below the rating Michelin gives in my opinion. It has been the most harsh tire I have had so far comparing to other summer sport tires in its class. Besides the comfort level everything is amazing and also the tread life compared to others in its class, seems to last around 50% longer than tires that are just as good performers in the dry.
