Best performing tire ever

I've had Michelin tires over many years, but this is my first experience with the Michelin Super Sport. Outstanding performance and feel. I was initially concerned about wet weather handling because the tread depth is not as deep as other Michelin tires I've had, but that concern was put to rest during the first storm I drove through. Super smooth and confident in wet and dry weather. The tire even gets a little sticky once they get hot and are driven hard, which results in fantastic handling, just like a true racing tire has. Given the super high performance category, it doesn't last as long as a regular family sedan tire does, but it's well worth the extra money and last longer than other brands in the same category!! So far, this is by far the best tire I've ever had and I've owned 23 cars in my life.

Best tires, I would buy this tires again

These 235/40ZR-18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport XL tires are on my 2007 Audi A4 3.2 Sports Line and they are GREAT!!! These tires have better traction, rides smoother and quieter than before. Most of all, they made the car feel much better, leading to greater confidence when cornering and braking and thus, overall safety. I would certainly recommend these tires to my family members and friends. One should never compromise on brakes and tires and this is a good example of me buying these excellent tires for summer driving. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance of these tires.

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.

Wow!

I bought these tires to replace the OEM "performance" tires my Audi S4 was equipped originally. Much, much better than OEM Summer tires. Handles better, grips better in dry or wet weather. Much more precise turn in. I have no complaints at all. I just wonder how long they will last.

The best high performance tires ever

From the first few moments driving on these new tires, I felt as if I was riding high up, on air, compared to my previous tires. The tires grip the road well, especially in rainy, slippery conditions. The tires help the car, an M3, to easily handle corners even at high speeds. I love the way the tires look and feel - and - they seem to be wearing evenly and I am told they will last much longer than other tires I have had before.

The #1 Upgrade of Your Cars Handling

I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina by choice mainly because of the outstanding paved mountain roads in this area. I drive a 2007 Corvette Z06 and have recently purchased the Pilot Super Sport tires. This tire was made for the Z06; at least in my opinion. Everything about the car is better; braking, turn-in, corner speed and exit speed. I also have a spare set of wheels with Sport Cup tires and the Super Sports are not far behind the Sport Cups in traction but much better in any standing water. I have a 21 year old Grandson that drives a RX8 and he asked me what would be the best upgrade for his money. I recommended he install Super Sport tires for his upgrade and he loves the way it made the car handle. Only downside is they are expensive but well worth it.

Great Tire

Used on the street and at the track. Great longevity and very good handling on the track but still good on the street and in the wet on the track. The only way to get a better handling track tire when it is dry is to go to a track/dry only tire and they do not last near as long. You sacrifice a little dry track handling for excellaent longevity and wet performance.

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.

Beware

I have a 2017 bmwx6m that I purchased brand new in September of 2017. Last summer I had only 5,000 miles on the car & my front tires were wearing horrible. Went to BMW & had to fight to get them replaced for free after being told that I drive “ hard”. I have a 1.7 mile commute on local suburban streets. Now one of my rear tires. A 325 30 ZR 21 has failed miserably. I have about 16,000 miles on the car. Would never recommend these tires to anyone

Pilot Super Sport on Honda S2000 AP2

Possibly the best overall tire for the S2000 AP2. These tires exhibit excellent steering response, tremendous cornering grip and an uncanny ability to change direction quickly in linked corners combined with very good ride quality which should satisfy any driving "enthusiast". Tire performance is quiet and essentially transparent under normal driving conditions although noticibly firm and well controlled when subjected to sharp bumps, so possibly not the ideal tire for the "non enthusiast". An excellent value in the max performance tire category, especially when considering this tire's high wear rating and nearly impeccable driving performance.
