Huge Improvement in Ride and Handling

These tires replaced the original equipment summer tires on my 2004 S2000. The ride is much quieter, the grip is incredible in corners and the car feels smoother over road imperfections. The Michelins even grip better in the rain. I am very happy with the Michelins and recommend them highly.

Great tire for enthusiasts!

Mounted a set on my 997 when the factory PS2s had gotten a few punctures. These tires feel like they were designed with high performance cars in mind. Grip is great and the ride quality is also very good. I wouldn't hesitate to track these tires and yet I feel totally confident on the road even in the wet.

Outstanding performance

I drive a high performance sports car and I depend on the excellent handling that Michelin tires provide. I recently decided to try a different brand tire. What a huge mistake. The other brand tire caused the rear end of my car to drift dangerously around corners. It was even unstable while going straight on the freeway. Luckily I bought them from a store that took them back and replaced them with Michelin tires. I will never change again. I never thought that there was such a huge difference in tires. I'm a true believer now! My car will always have Michelin Super Sport tires from now on!

Best tire ever

I have driven every top performance tire out there over the past 20 years and the pilot super sport tires are hands down the best tire ever. I have a set of super sports on my Audi R8, when I push the turns very aggressively, I feel totally safe and confident at max G forces, not even a chirp from my pilot sports. I have rented several Audi R8's on the tracks in Vegas, and the R8's with pilot super sports were hands down far superior to all the other top brands for grip, handling, and braking. Keep you and your family safe, use Super pilot sports to avoid the craziness out there.

Excellent Tires

So far, So Good! After 500 miles I am very happy with my Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. They are mounted on a 2007 Audi A4 FWD. The tires seemed to stick like glue from the first day that they were mounted. I noticed more braking adhesion right away. They seemed to give my A4 new life and give me more confidence. They have been driven mostly on weekends in mixed city and highway driving. They ride nice on the highway with little tire noise. Yet they are very stable going through the curves. In the next few weeks I will be joining the local Audi club on several spirited drives. I will know a lot more about the tires after that.

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.

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!

excellent tires

Purchased Pilot Super sports about 500 miles ago for my Cayman. Replaced PS2s. Handling and braking is excellent, ride seems a little smother. But than again my old tires were 6 years old and rubber probably hardened up by now. Very happy with my selection.

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.

Amazing, Sticky even in the rain!

Just put a set of these on my 350z Roadster and the grip is amazing. It's been raining here for days and the conversion from the old tires has happened during the rains. This has been a great opportunity to compare the old tires to the new and the difference is night and day. I accelerated aggressively from stop into a 90 degree right hand turn and not a hint spin from the rears. In the past I would get a little sideways before the traction control would kick in. Not today! Just acceleration without spin. Stop is just as amazing. I whole heartedly recommend these tires to sports cars enthusiasts.
