New Shoes on Acura RL

I put a set of Super Sports on my 05 Acura RL. I opted for the SS over A/S, because I wanted to see how the best tires worked on the car. These tires are going to spoil me and I'm afraid of getting any other tire, because it doesn't get any better than these. They are quite, handling is fantastic, and comfortable. You feel very reassured when you drive on these. I would recommend these tires to anyone. They are a little expensive, but well worth it. I am very satisfied.

Far superior to the old tires!

We chose the Pilot Super Sport tires based on the sales reps recommendation and our good experience with Michelin's in the past. The original tires on our 2012 G37 were very noisy, rough riding and pulled left or right with steering wheel input. The new Super Sports are extremely quiet and smooth riding (for a high performance tire) and have exceptional grip! While these tires are new, we are confident that we will enjoy them.

Amazing tires.

I bought these to be my 3-season tire for my 2006 Audi A4 Avant. After 25,000 miles and life still to go, I cannot fathom how sticky these tires were. I say "were" because I got a nail in the sidewall last week and couldn't find a replacement set quick enough. Road feel is exceptional with these tires. Incredibly communicative. The grip is nothing short of exceptional. I could turn hard enough at autocross events to lift both my inside tires if I wasn't careful. Compared to the PS2, these really need some heat in them to perform optimally. I also think their hydroplane resistance is not as good as a normal PS2. By no means is it bad, but driving back to back you can tell a difference. With that said, these things grip sooooo much better in the dry than my PS2's ever did.

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!

Simply Super

I bought these tires to replace my Pilot PS2's, and so far they have been worth the money. They give my car a lot of grip around the corners. They also have been pretty good in rain. I can't comment on wear life because I haven't had them to long, but they don't seem to have lost much tread. Would recommend these to anyone who has a sports car that they want to get a little more performance out of.

What a Diference!

I replaced the factory run-flats on my BMW 135i convertible with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. This tire kept coming up in all the BMW forums. Boy, were they right! Before, I called the car the Flintstone mobile because it rode like it was on rocks. The Super Sports made it a totally different car. Rides MUCH better. I also autoX and do track days, and the Super Sport has proven to be a very competitive modern grippy tire. I recommend it highly.

The best high performance tires ever

From the first few moments driving on these new tires, I felt as if I was riding high up, on air, compared to my previous tires. The tires grip the road well, especially in rainy, slippery conditions. The tires help the car, an M3, to easily handle corners even at high speeds. I love the way the tires look and feel - and - they seem to be wearing evenly and I am told they will last much longer than other tires I have had before.

39k still have tread

These tires took me across the US 6x. 39k miles tread just at bars. Very good wet weather traction and also snow. I was caught in a sudden unexpected blizzard while crossing the Continental divide in southern Colorado. Halfway up it hit and after 20 to 30 tense minutes I crossed over the summit. Only vehicle on the road was me and Corvette snowplow. I passed a Policeman going the other direction I could see his jaw drop when he saw me :) Mighty fine tire ! New ones being put on Monday.

Performance Tires for my Audi A4

I got these tires by mistake - Audi dealership, despite my request to get all season tires gave me these and tried to persuade me that these are just as safe in cold weather as all season tires. I did not think that is the case. I have to say during summer, they are great. The only things that bother me are when I am in my building's parking garage on concrete after it's rained, the tires make this annoying noise. Other than that, all good.

Wow, performance/comfort = Happy Turbo

Recently bought a set of Pilot Super Sports for my 07 Porsche 911 Turbo. Great handling, quiet ride, low noise and wearing vey well. Exceeded my expectations in all ways. Now I understand what all the buzz is about. If you own a high performance car, these tires will transform your car. It was a great choice, very happy!
