Terrible Tred Wear

I normally put about 7,000 miles a year on this car. Mostly driven on short trips. Last year drove across country, about 7300 miles. The car handles well, but the wear factor is awful. After less than12,000 I am almost down to the wear bar. Needless to say I am looking for another brand of tire that will give longer tred wear.

Beware

I have a 2017 bmwx6m that I purchased brand new in September of 2017. Last summer I had only 5,000 miles on the car & my front tires were wearing horrible. Went to BMW & had to fight to get them replaced for free after being told that I drive “ hard”. I have a 1.7 mile commute on local suburban streets. Now one of my rear tires. A 325 30 ZR 21 has failed miserably. I have about 16,000 miles on the car. Would never recommend these tires to anyone

Great Tire

Used on the street and at the track. Great longevity and very good handling on the track but still good on the street and in the wet on the track. The only way to get a better handling track tire when it is dry is to go to a track/dry only tire and they do not last near as long. You sacrifice a little dry track handling for excellaent longevity and wet performance.

Superb tires

I purchased the tires in June for my BMW 650i convertible and have driven cross country - some 6000 miles - in the last two months and have beem amazed at the ride comfort, lack of road noise compared to the factory run flats and the handling and grip of these tires. I tend to drive aggressively and the tires have responded well in every situation. Highly remommend these tires.

Great Performance

Use it on my 08 BMW M3 as a daily driver to and from work, have not been to the track and keep traction control on so no drifting either. Tires have grip through everything and were great in rain. 7,400 miles later, I have chords showing as of yesterday. Great performance all the way up to the chords. Would definitely advice others to get these, great grip, really low noise. Other than tread life, I have no complaints about these tires.

Review Michelin pilot super sports

Have put just under 1000 miles on this set of four Michelin Pilot Super sports tires under spirited driving conditions in my AMG Mercedes. Quiet, comfortable ride quality. No problems in the rain. Went up to 140 mph without difficulty. I hope that I get good life out of this set. If I can get 20K or better miles, I will be ecstatic.

Takes my GS to a new level

Just replaced the OEM tires on my 2011 Corvette Grand Sport with the Michelin PSS. I can't believe it's the same car. The ride is so much smoother and quieter. I do a lot of driving on rural roads mixed in with Interstate highways. I enjoy pushing the car to it's legal limits and look forward to some track days. The grip of these Super Sports is unlike anything I have experienced in the 3 Corvettes I have owned. The GS is known for a "scuffing" sound and feel at start up speed with the wheels turned. I was resigned to this. It has disappeared with the PSS tires. Simply amazing! Should have made this move a long time ago. Now I need to get more than 16,000 miles on the set as that is what the OEM tires have given me.

Super Sports are a huge improvement

I bought the Pilot Super Sports to replace the stock run flats on my BMW 335i coupe. Huge improvement. I can feel how the car is gripping the road now. I tracked the car with the run flats before moving to the super sports and what an amazing difference. Tires ae a bit quieter as well.

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.

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.
