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.

Great tire for a CTS-V

Great tire. Grips excellent. Predictable behavior when you want to get the rear end to slide. Quiet tire. Really great in the wet! There is literally no reason (I know of) to buy another tire if you have a higher performance car that you need to perform on the street and track.

Persistent leak down tire

After a year and a half this tire has a persistent leak down that accelerates as pressure lowers. It is unreliable and there is no excuse for producing such a poorly manufactured tire. Tire seller is unable to repair this tire despite 2 attempts. So get ready to replace more than one.

Sticky, Smooth, Quiet, Confident

My Mercedes roadster is now equipped with Pilot Super Sports. These performance tires are smooth, quiet, and confident, both around town and on the highway. Pilot Super Sprots were an excellent replacement choice for the original equipment tires. Road noise is diminished, handling and overall ride comfort are greatly improved. The tires are also very attractive and compliment the good looks of my car. They are an excellent value.....I couldn't be more satisfied!

Look versus feel, new Pilot Super Sports

I recently purchased a set of Pilot Super Sports 245/40 ZR17 on the back and 225/45s in the front, for my 10 year old CLK 430 AMG convertible. I only have 28,000 miles on this car and I really liked the original equipment tires which were the Pilot Sport model, recently discontinued. I really liked the look of that old tread pattern and recall the tires felt great at higher speeds. So I was concerned about how the new super sport tires would feel, and looked. After a recent trip to Boston, about 4+ hours each way at highway speeds, the new tires felt great on the road. We had rain at one point for over an hour, and I felt just fine. The Super Sports have a deeper channel for throwing off the rain, so at higher speeds I felt more comfortable than I recall feeling when running the old tires in the rain at highway speeds. The old model tires certainly had a lower profile for rain. On the new tires in the rain, I did not have any instances of slippage or instability at any point in time, particularly when taking the entrance and exit ramps from the highway at reasonable speeds. I also have not noticed any unusual wear on the new tires after about 2,000 miles of usage. However, I do miss the more aggressive tread pattern on the old tires and how they looked on this particular sports car. MB.

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.

Best tire made since the original X

I have only ever bought Michelin because they usually are OEM equipment but mostly, I have the utmost confidence in the company. I own over 15 Vintage Lincolns all with their original Michelin X or XA radials. They still do not even look like they have been driven on. Now, these New Super Sports not only are lasting but look good, handle like a dream and ride like I'm on a cloud. Two of the tires didnt even require any weights. The other two only took 1/4 oz. Ive never had a car that had a perfect balance and Ive had over 100 cars in my lifetime. These are the finest tires since the original X which came on the 68 1/2 Lincoln Mark III. These make my car ride like IM on a cloud. I wouldnt have any other tire. The only thing is they should be about 340 tread wear to keep up with the Contientals but other than that. No complaints here!!! These are leaps and bounds ahead of the original Pilots. Those are the WORST wearing tires EVER. I made the dealership change them 3 times. I finally gave up and bought the Super Sports. Best thing I ever did. Don't try and save a few dollars and buy anything but these tires. That is if your application calls for Utra Ultra High Performance tires. My CL 600 which is a bi-Turbo V 12 and has a 25k suspension is very finicky about what it rides on and this tire can handle what ever is thrown its way. Congradulations Michelin!

2008 BMW M3

I originally acquired the car with a staggered setup and PS2 tires. I thought the PS2's were the bomb until I needed to replace them with Pilot Super Sports. Michelin keeps stepping up the bar on these high performance tires. Excelent ride handling and wet weather performance.

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.

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.
