Transforms good into wow

Got a new 2011 Audi A4 loaded. The car handled ok until the sidewall blew out on 1 tire at 6k miles. Researched 245/40 R 18 fitments and saw the rave reviews about the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tireline. Bought the tires and they transformed the ride, which was already good. As the ratings show some comfort is lost but handling particularly into corners is top notch. The first thing you notice after driving a few miles is that the tires are warm and become very sticky and picked up grit off my driveway. I was already feeling like an F1 driver! If I wanted to wander up and down the freeway all day then the 30k warrantly might scare you off but as I do 10k miles a year I wanted to get everything out of the car as these tires allow me to do that.

The All New Mitchelin Performance Tires

With all the new vehicles being made in the next 10 years Mitchelin tires should be on all of them as a stock tire to make total performance for the best in all the newer vehicles. I love Michelin tires & always have. I use Michelin all season radial tires on my old pick up truck, they do not make noise as I drive down the road, I should use them on my 98 Corvette Coupe, unfortunately, right now being retired from the mechanical work force/repair shops that I once owned, I bought my 98 Corvette with another brand name of performance tires, not as great as Michelin, but good, too! Keep up the great work Michelin maybe one day I will be back in the mechanical repair shop promoting Michelin Tires once again to my customers for all their sports cars?

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.

Awesome Performance Tire GREAT PRICE

My Nissan GTR had the stock run flats. By Changing Tires to the Pilot SuperSports It completely change the driving dynamic of the car. No more wawawawawawa tire noise. The ride is smoother, They track straight without grabbing every line the road. Over bumps you don't loosen your organs. The may squeal slightly more but it does not bother me at all. I am a huge fan of PS2's and I give the SuperSports a 10 out of a 10. Michelin Makes the best tire in the world hands down. Thank You for keeping my car and family safe, Cheers, Ryan

Perfect Performance Dailt Driver Tire

Have the Super Sports now on two cars, 02 M5 and M Coupe. Recently completed a 5k round trip in the coupe to Laguna Seca and back to Texas. Super Sports are excellent highway tire and perform extremely well on the track. Very responsive and progressive and predictable. Heat stable. So far noise is minimal. If the mileage lives up to the rating i will have found the perfect tires.

Finally, a tire that lives up to its rep

Finally, a tire that lives up to the on-line reviews I have read. The previous tires on my 08' Mercedes E350 w/ sport suspension were extremely noisy and although they had plenty of tread I couldn't take the noise after 15K miles. The Pilot Super Sports are quiet and grip the road well. I can't comment yet on how much life I will get, but thus far I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. My Mercedes dealer recommended these tires initially.

Excellent upgrade for my BMW

I replaced mis-matched tires on my 2004 BMW 330ci with sports package and 18" wheel upgrades. They are much quieter and smoother, handling and grip are excellent. They have really upgraded the feel and performance of the car. It took me a couple of days to get used to the difference but now I would not do any other tire.

Amazing Performance and Daily Driver

The Pilot Super Sport tires are an amazing product. Michelin had a high bar set with their PS2 line and these somehow managed to exceed my expectations. They have refined road manners with their low noise and comfortable ride. The PSS makes easy going of any commute or road trip and it really makes no sense how they last so long but perform so amazingly (I am on my second set). The real test of these tires is at the track where they surprise everyone with the amount of grip for a non-racing slick tire. Having run many a HPDE I can say that any driver would not be left wanting when choosing the PSS as a tire they can drive to the track, drive on the track with confidence, and then drive home on. These tires are so good at so many things and are even reasonably priced. I don't know what voo-doo Michelin is caught up in over in their R&D department but I say hats and helmets off to you my friends...Bravo.

I love these tires

I bought a set of 4 Super Sports for my 2006 BMW 330i and I couldn't be happier. I swap them on every summer (set of PA3's for my winter set) and they never fail to be awesome. They have insane grip, great wet performance and didn't even hurt my fuel economy. Five stars all around!
