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.

Superb tires

When I bought my BMW 330i new in 04, it came with Pilot Sports. I loved that set of tires and went thru probably three sets with no real problems, aside from some noise issues. Never even had to have a re-balance thru their life. The last set of Sports, though, developed some issues after about 3k miles. Balance problems, stability problems. Incredibly enough, Michelin stepped up to the plate and REPLACED them free of charge with the Super Sport and, man, are these things good. They are even stickier than the originals, and with better ride quality to boot! Not only were the new set of tires provided at no charge, they even paid for installation. This is what customer service should be like (BMW could learn a HUGE lesson here)

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.

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.

super sport on bmw

Ive waited a month before I decided to give this review so it could be accurate as possible. Long eniough to to get a good feel for the new tire and not too long so I dont remember the feel of the old tires I use to have. I have 20 in. racing rims on my 5 series BMW and the larger rims decreased the ride quality. After extensive research I chose the Super Sports. Ride quality is a little better but not much of a difference. Tractions about the same. The major difference is the grip you feel in a turn. The 3000s I would feel a slight roll and the SUPER SPORTS handle the perfect. Also, road noise was reduced with the SUPER SPORTS.

VERY STICKY TIRES!

I want to start by saying that I "only" buy Michelin Tires. I have had most of the performance tires since the 1970's and have always been impressed with the quality. This is my 3rd set of "Pilot" series tires and have to say this is my favorite tire ever! Quiet, good in the rain and handles in the dry like (rubber) glue on the road. I hope I don't get over confident with regards to how my car now grips in the corners. I have always been a safe but fast driver and feel confident these tires will forgive my occasional mistake.

The All New Mitchelin Performance Tires

With all the new vehicles being made in the next 10 years Mitchelin tires should be on all of them as a stock tire to make total performance for the best in all the newer vehicles. I love Michelin tires & always have. I use Michelin all season radial tires on my old pick up truck, they do not make noise as I drive down the road, I should use them on my 98 Corvette Coupe, unfortunately, right now being retired from the mechanical work force/repair shops that I once owned, I bought my 98 Corvette with another brand name of performance tires, not as great as Michelin, but good, too! Keep up the great work Michelin maybe one day I will be back in the mechanical repair shop promoting Michelin Tires once again to my customers for all their sports cars?

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.

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.

What a Diference!

I replaced the factory run-flats on my BMW 135i convertible with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. This tire kept coming up in all the BMW forums. Boy, were they right! Before, I called the car the Flintstone mobile because it rode like it was on rocks. The Super Sports made it a totally different car. Rides MUCH better. I also autoX and do track days, and the Super Sport has proven to be a very competitive modern grippy tire. I recommend it highly.
