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.]

Super Sports on my Super Sport

Just replaced the stock Goodyear Eagle F1's on my SS Camaro after just 20k miles. So far the Michelin SS's are great no complaints period. Thanks Michelin.

Amazing!

These tires are just phenominal! I've always had issues with no traction in 1st or 2nd in my boosted 350z. Now I can go half throttle in 1st and full throttle in 2nd with these tires. I have no traction issue while makign 487rwhp/468trq. Great tires and I recommend these to every and anybody!

Amazing tires.

I bought these to be my 3-season tire for my 2006 Audi A4 Avant. After 25,000 miles and life still to go, I cannot fathom how sticky these tires were. I say "were" because I got a nail in the sidewall last week and couldn't find a replacement set quick enough. Road feel is exceptional with these tires. Incredibly communicative. The grip is nothing short of exceptional. I could turn hard enough at autocross events to lift both my inside tires if I wasn't careful. Compared to the PS2, these really need some heat in them to perform optimally. I also think their hydroplane resistance is not as good as a normal PS2. By no means is it bad, but driving back to back you can tell a difference. With that said, these things grip sooooo much better in the dry than my PS2's ever did.

Great Tire

Plus: quiet, compliant ride, excellent handling and braking in both dry and wet conditions. Minimal wear with 8000 miles on tire set. Negitive: muted thumping sound at speeds above 45mph. Suspect it is not due to the tire as I had this on my previous set of tires. (balancing and alignment were within normal limits) so I suspect it is the suspension geometry.

I'll never buy another brand again!

It was time to start searching for tires for my BMW 550i. Based off my experience with my X5 (Michelin MXV4+), I knew that I absolutely loved Michelin's quality, performance, comfort, and overall feel. In my search for tires I discovered there was a new animal in the game, the Pilot Super Sport. After reading reviews from many of the major automobile magazines, I decided to get the PSS. WOW!!! These tires are amazing! It's hard to believe that Michelin could produce a better tire than the PS2, but they did! In fact, not only is it a better performing tire in every aspect, it gets 10% better mileage on the road and 50% better mileage on the track! 100% satisfied with my purchase and Michelin has gained a customer for life!

Finally a quality tire

First of all in my everyday commute these tires are more than up to the task as they are much quieter than the OEM tires on my Subaru WRX Sti. They track beautifully and there is absolutely no wandering on the road with these babies. Just standing still they have a presence of awesomeness with the checkered flag so neatly placed on the sidewall. Yes these truly deserve the word "Super" in front of them and so many products dont these days. Thank you Michelin for your hard work and focus to deliver a tire that is truly jawdropping in performance. I will 100% with out a doubt purchase these again!

Pilot Super Sport

I chose Michelin Pilot Super Sport to replace G-Y "run-flat" tires on my 2007 Corvette. Although Michelin makes Pilot Super Sport tires in many sizes. Michelin does not make size 285/35zr19 available for Chevrolet. (in efforts to drive the sale to Michelin's run-flat series?) I was therefore forced to purchase a smaller size 275/35zr19. I still prefer the Super Sport tires. They are much more comfortable to ride, make the car perform with much more agility. I only wish they made them in the correct size to fit my car.

Fast wearing

Purchased these Pilot Super Sport tires for the rear as I only got 10,000 miles from the originals. The handling and smoothness was great. I am a smart/safe driver and regiously check the air pressure but only got 7,000 miles off these tires, especially the right rear, which is the torc side. The left rear still has at least half the tread left but I will have to change them both. I was told that's the nature of the beast. I will think of sacrificing smoothness for a little more wear life and look for something else.

Didnt last long

Only 8500 miles on a new 2018 C63S AMG with 285/30ZR20 in rear and 255/35ZR19 in front. The rears are gone and only have another 500-1000 miles of life left till they are completely shot out. The front tires are holding up just fine. Very disappointing. I have never done any burnouts and never taken any long road trips and only drive the car hard occasionally on regular roads.
