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.

Great tire for the Acura TL

I just purchased a pre-owned 2006 Acura TL last year, but it needed new tires asap. After doing some research on-line I found several performance tests of the Super Sport, so I figured I would give them a try. I will say that the dry weather performance is outstanding and the wet weather performance is just as impressive (Wet get a lot of rain here in Florida!). The only downside is the wear. With less than 20K miles I had to replace my tires. The tire store did give me credit towards the new set, but it was an expense I was not ready for. I may rethink my next set for something a bit longer lasting as I do a lot of highway miles. Still, for any performance car, I would say give these tires a try at least once.

Excellent Tire for C6 Z06 Corvette

Great dry grip, excellent rain handling, GRADUAL breakaway cornering, braking is controlled, better cold weather grip. Before the Super Sports the rear would instantly break loose, not now I can even use some throttle. Honestly Michelin just makes a better all around high performance tire. I have 7 months of driving, 5000 city and 3000 highway for a total of 8000 miles on them. There's still over half the tread on the rears, that's good if your not familiar. I've owned the F1-GS, GS-D3; Supercar, G2; Pilot PS, PS2, and Super Sport. Supercar, G2, and Super sport on Z06 only. It would be surprising if you regretted buying these.

Highly recommened purchase

Fair weather driving only. The handling 4 sure,look of the tire is also a plus but this was one of the best upgrades I could have done to my 350Z. These are just an all around well designed tire. You can tell when taking high speed turns,the stopping and acceleration. Michelin is the best they put it all together in this tire. They make me want to get another set for my Z now. I hope Michelin never stops making this tire and if they do please put me on the contest list to win a set. Thank you very much Michelin for making this driver very happy on my purchase.

Mercedes S550 Sport

These came standard on my MB S550 Sport and wow what a solid sticky tire this is. It sticks the car to the road no matter what and it gives me the confidence of throwing the car into curves at high speeds and not worrying about loss of control at any time. Will definitely replace these tires with the same.

Good Traction

I have these Super Sports on my 2004 Honda S2000 and I'm very happy with them. Immediately I noticed how much quieter they are. The second thing I noticed is that this high performance summer tire does really well in the rain. I don't really push my S2K to the limit but for my daily driving these tires seam to have plenty of grip when I take spirited corners. I've only had these tires for three months and have not driven on them in the cold weather yet but I suspect they will perform fine. Another fine product by Michelin.

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!!!!

I would buy thus product again

I love these tires, I wouldn't buy anything else Micheline are the best tire out there by far. I have the Super Sport they always grip in the rain. I drive a sports car in Florida and trust ne we get alot of rain i wouldn't put any thing else on my car. They always perform and are very quiet when your car sits as low as mine. Love them.

Great Tires for a Sports Car

I have Pilot Super Sports installed on my 2020 Toyota Supra Prem 3.0. 255/35/R19 on the front and 275/35/R19 on the rear. I have had the car on curvy roads and at speed. They are solid, feel solid, and hold the road extremely well. They provide a feeling of confidence when the performance point is at a level is where it counts. While I can't speak for him (other than that he also thinks that the tires are very good), my neighbor has Pilot Super Sports installed on his Porsche GT4, as well. We're a neighborhood commercial. ;-) [When I spec my car on the Michelin site for this tire, however, it says that it does not have a recommendation for my year/make/model/trim. Since they come installed from the factory - can't get a higher recommendation that that - you might want to address this.]

Best road tire in existence

I bought these a couple weeks ago, and they're everything people cracked them up to be! They are the perfect tire for anybody looking for that half step down from full slicks, while still maintaining that quiet and fuel efficient expectation we all have for a daily driver. I've had passengers in the car that notice the difference too, but around corners you can really feel that sidewall being reinforced and designed for those high speed maneuvers. The stock tires on my Golf R were grippy but the you could feel the sidewall start to let go at high G's and that made you lose confidence. These are the most amazing tire for the summers!
