GREAT TIRE!! FAR SUPERIOR THAN THE PSs

Just put the Super Sports on my 2005 Porsche Boxster and I am absolutely beyond impressed! These new tires already handle better, ride better, look better, and sound better than my original Pilot Sports ever did. The only downfall was I had to wait 2 months on back order until they finally arrived. However, it was most certainly worth the wait.

Best Tires Ever Ford Mustang Saleen

I replaced a set of P-Zeros on my 2007 Saleen Mustang after reading all of the great reviews about the PSS online. I am running 295/35/20 rears and 275/35/20 fronts. So far I only have a few hundred miles on them. The ride and noise are noticeably different with the PSS (better and quieter). My Saleen makes about 600 rwhp and these tires hook up well. They are not for drag racing. HOWEVER, I competed at an autocross event this summer and beat all 150 cars entered, including some with full race slicks. I cut about 5 seconds off my lap time (about a 1 minute autocross course) which is remarkable. Turning and braking is where these tires excel. These are the absolute best tires I've ever run, and I will continue to buy them as long as Michelin manufactures them. If you are on the fence about purchasing them....BUY, BUY, BUY! You won't be disappointed.

The only performance tire I'll ever buy

I bought the Pilot Super Sports as the 3rd set of tires for my heavily modified BMW 335i. These tires took my car to a whole different level of performance. Their grip on the dry land and especially on the wet roads are remarkable. My wife was a little skeptical about the additional price, but as soon as I took her out in my car and showed her how dependable and SAFE they are, she literally said to me, "I don't ever want you to buy another tire". The grip and performance are truly top notch and why every supercar and hypercar maker puts Michelins on their cars. These are the pinnacles, the best, second to none. And for them to be priced so that everyday guys like me can buy them, that's just remarkable. THANK YOU MICHELIN!!!!

Best street tires on my Audi

I am on my second set of these on my Audi Avant (255/35/19) and am very impressed. They are incredibly durable and when I do track days in the rain I leave these on and they have performed very well for a street tire. The only problem I ever encountered was at a two day track event where I expected rain and instead encountered 90-100+ temps. The edges of the tread blocks did incur some chunking but with more than 3 degrees negative camber and high temps, it was not unexpected. Overall wear was minor even with that abuse...and that is a 4000 lb wagon being pushed to keep up with so called "sports cars" By comparison, the OEM tires from an Italian manufacturer wore out very quickly and were prone to flat spotting if the car sat undriven for a week or more. Two other models from a German company were noisy and also lasted less than 12k miles each. I should disclose that I have been given 2 sets of The Italian company's tires and currently have a third set of their Dot-R compound tires mounted on my track wheels. Regardless, I prefer the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and think it is a phenomenal tire for longevity as well as grip all with minimal tire noise. I recommend them to all of my friends seeking high quality perfomance street tires that last and know that a set will soon be replacing the older Michelin PS2's currently on my Mercedes E55 AMG. Please make these in a size for my Cayenne Turbo (295/35/21)

Outstanding Pilot Super Sports !

I custom - ordered my E92 BMW 335ix new in 2008 to get it equipped as I wanted, then had it upgraded with Dinan parts. The one thing I could not get around was the factory run-flat tires. At 30,000 miles, I replaced them with non- run-flats, and liked them, but one of the tires wore pre-maturely, and the manufacturer wouldn't adjust it. I knew what to do. I purchased a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports, which I had avoided earlier in an attempt to save a bit of money. After approximately 3,000 miles I wish I bought the Super Sports last time. They "Contact" the highway better, they are silent and absolutely smooth. From past years of Michelin ownership, I know if I have a problem, the company will stand behind their products.

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.

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!

Outstanding handling and performance

I run the Super Sport on a 2018 BMW M6, and I wouldn't consider any other tire for that vehicle. I've tried Firestone, Continental and Hancook, and none of them handled nearly as well as the Michelin. The rubber is soft so you don't get great mileage out of them, but if you're buying a tires for that reason get a Honda. The BMW is all about performance, and this the tire that will handle the best.

Best Tire Ever!!!

One of best wet traction tires on the market. Feels like the roads are dry when it raining like crazy. Best handling tires on the market also. Makes the car handle like it's on rails. I recommend these tires for the best summer tires out there. BEST Choice EVER.

much better than the original equipment

I did a lot of research, including buyer reviews, on these tires and am very happy with the performance so far. The original run flats on my 2011 Corvette GS were a constant disappointment. It was embarrassing to drive during low speed cornering because the tires pushed instead of rolled when cold. With the Pilot Super Sports my GS performance in both aggressive and cursing modes is substantially improved. I can't comment yet on wear but it can't be worse than the original GY-gen2s. Buy them!
