WOO HOO

Installed the Pilot Super Sports about 6 weeks ago on my 2012 Mercedes C Class on 18" AMG rims and WOW!! Unfortunately last week my Porsche 997 had a nail in the sidewall of it's RE050's and although not quite ready for a new set of tires it was just the excuse I needed....so on went the Pilot Super Sports. Although not Porsche N Spec, the P Dealaer recommended and installed them. Noticeable break-in period of a few hundred miles on both cars until the tire 'settles' then you really will start to grin, so if you think they are good as you first drive off after installation just wait. Outstanding wet weather traction, really impressive stability, and also exceptional braking performance wet and dry. You WILL transform your ride, even the fussiest of you out there. I offer no hesitation in recommending these (and in fact am telling people I know to buy them). No sense of wear yet, plus both cars are staggered wheel setups so I cannot rotate. Well done Michelin.

Making the best better

I drive a 997 Carrera with the OEM tire being Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. I switched to the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and wow, the best got better. The Super Sport has the same handling, if not better, with a longer tread life. I participate in autocross and driver's education events with my local Porsche Club and do not feel the need to go back to the PS2.

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.

My love these tires.

I know tires. I have used many sets of different brands of high performance tires through out the years, and I have to say, I am impressed. My 2008 BMW M3 has gone though 2 sets of PS2 and now on its third set of tires. I have heard great things about these Super Sports from other forum members. Since Ferrari have been using them on their most current models, I should give these tires a try on the BMW. The tires offers awesome traction, ride quality and durability. If you are looking to do performance upgrades for your car, just upgrading your current tires to the Super Sports will improve acceleration, handling and braking. I track the M3 as well and these are the best street tires without going to R-compounds.

Best tire on the market

The Michelin Pilot Super Sports were purchased to replace my factory PS2s on my IS F. I upsized the tires, and they have such great grip. Taking corners at higher speeds is no trouble. I had a chance to test these out in wet conditions as well. Braking was superb and provided excellent stopping power, much more than the PS2s. For the price, these are as great as a car owner can get. Above and beyond performance, great handling, and can stop on a dime unlike any of the other tires I've tested. My only concern will be tread life. This isn't my track car, but on a daily basis, it should see considerable wear and tear. Only the best for my F, though, and Michelin PSS is the way to go!

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)

best street tire PERIOD!

i have a 06 G35 with all of the bolt old parts. Keeping it NA. this tire is great for what i bought it for- high performance driving wet or dry. Very, very quiet, well balanced & smooth riding. I have these for when I have to have fun. The tread wear is good considering how well they stick in normal conditions wet and dry. I have a new found joy of driving after these. I would DEFIANTLY get a new set once these turn into slicks. Minor grip about the tire is after it heat cycles there is brown on the side walls.

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

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.

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.
