Great ride

I put a set on my 2004 Vette and they are great. Quiet, smooth, and handle very well. 1500 miles and the car is a joy to drive. No noise even with top down. Would buy again. Good friend with identical Vette feels same way. Highly recommend them. Be careful of tire pressure. It is important.

Excellent Street Tire!!!

Aggressive Street Driving/Autocross Excellent Street grip in either dry or wet conditions, wear rate is also great. Only problem I had with the tires is that they did not match my demands of them in autocross, about 1 second off the pace compared to other cars running the extreme performance category tires, since these are only max performance I give them the benefit of the doubt. Love these as street tires though.

Good Product

I purchased a set of four about 45,000 miles ago, and have had only two flats during that time. The treads are ok, but I have a crack all the way around the outer edge. Is this very unusual? It did not happen with my original equipment tires used 7.5 years. I have used this set about 7.5 years, also. THX/"CHUCK"

PIOLOT SUPER SPORT...WOW!

I have a 2003 BMW 530I w/ sport M suspension. As soon as I installed Michelin Super Sports my car evolved to the next level. They are very smooth riding and quiet yet are great for aggressive handling. So far, minimal/very good wear. I would buy again.

Outstanding Performance

I now have 10k miles on these tires, which I cannot rotate due to different size front/rear, and they still have a lot of tread remaining. I am expecting 20-25k out of these tires. Granted, I don't drive my car that hard (Lexus IS350C). These tires are like glue for your car. They can take interstate off ramps at speeds that make me feel uneasy with no slipping or squealing. They stay plastered to the road in heavy thrunderstorms and I have yet to hydroplane. The other reviews are true...If you are looking for a performance tire, this is it. I will definitely replace these with another set when the time comes.

Great tires

I love these tire on my SRT 8. I had slipping problems on my SuperCharged Challenger (630hp/590lb) at the track and certain "stoplight" duals. Now my traction is awesome. Import crowd with all of their stickers and coffee can mufflers are in for more terror on the street now. I never lost before, but now its two of more car lenghts instead of just one.

goodbye runflats, hello Pilo Super Sport

Finally ditched the OEM runflats off my 2011 BMW Z4. These tires have such great lateral grip, on/off ramps will bring a smile. Much quieter than previous tires and of course, gone is that awful juddering across uneven surfaces when turning. Looking forward to finally feeling the car handle as it was designed.

Great tires for high performance cars!

The Pilot Super Sports have proven to be an excellent choice for my Viper. They ride better than the PS2 and appear to be wearing better than average for these soft compound type tires. They are great on the track and street. I have driven them through pouring rain with conficence to maintain normal speeds. I would absolutely recommend these tires to anyone looking for the ultimate summer performance tire.

Best tires for spirited drivers

I currently own a set of 225/45/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports and the amount of grip that these tires offer do not compare to any other tires out in the market. Dry grip is phenomenal along with the wet traction. I currently have 6000 miles on these tires and have absolutely no issues. Would recommend to anyone in a sports car and have a heavy foot.

Mercedes-Benz AMG

Last year, I replaced the OEM tires on my Mercedes-Benz AMG with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I use the car mainly on the highway for long trips and seek out winding mountain roads. With the Super Sports, the turn-in is better, corning grip is better, they are as quiet or quieter, the ride is better and they have lasted 40% longer with the same kind of use. Plus, they are less expensive than the OEM brand. Great tires and excellent value!
