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.

Look versus feel, new Pilot Super Sports

I recently purchased a set of Pilot Super Sports 245/40 ZR17 on the back and 225/45s in the front, for my 10 year old CLK 430 AMG convertible. I only have 28,000 miles on this car and I really liked the original equipment tires which were the Pilot Sport model, recently discontinued. I really liked the look of that old tread pattern and recall the tires felt great at higher speeds. So I was concerned about how the new super sport tires would feel, and looked. After a recent trip to Boston, about 4+ hours each way at highway speeds, the new tires felt great on the road. We had rain at one point for over an hour, and I felt just fine. The Super Sports have a deeper channel for throwing off the rain, so at higher speeds I felt more comfortable than I recall feeling when running the old tires in the rain at highway speeds. The old model tires certainly had a lower profile for rain. On the new tires in the rain, I did not have any instances of slippage or instability at any point in time, particularly when taking the entrance and exit ramps from the highway at reasonable speeds. I also have not noticed any unusual wear on the new tires after about 2,000 miles of usage. However, I do miss the more aggressive tread pattern on the old tires and how they looked on this particular sports car. MB.

Good wear, wet and dry performance GREAT feedback.

Have had these on an ALFA Romeo 4C with some mods. The stock P tires didn't last that long and on track got "greasy" after 3 laps. Worse was they emphasized tramming. The PSS have been on the car for 2 years now....much better wear, tramming dramatically less, Feedback is very good on these...perhaps even better than latest P4S although on paper the P4S is very slightly better in wet pretty even in dry. I might have tried P4S but at the they didn't have them in 215 size. The PSS also are better than my old stock tires on track in just about every way. 245/215 combo (+1 sizeing) on a 4C and maintain the same aspect ratio as stock makes for a greatly improved ride for street and occasional track day. There are tires more suitable for track only but those generally are poor as a daily driver/occasional track day tire.

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!

Excellent Street Tire!!!

Aggressive Street Driving/Autocross Excellent Street grip in either dry or wet conditions, wear rate is also great. Only problem I had with the tires is that they did not match my demands of them in autocross, about 1 second off the pace compared to other cars running the extreme performance category tires, since these are only max performance I give them the benefit of the doubt. Love these as street tires though.

Mercedes S550 Sport

These came standard on my MB S550 Sport and wow what a solid sticky tire this is. It sticks the car to the road no matter what and it gives me the confidence of throwing the car into curves at high speeds and not worrying about loss of control at any time. Will definitely replace these tires with the same.

Solid Street and track tire

Have had tires for over 10,000 miles, the tread is still outstanding even with aggressive daily driving. Outstanding perfomance in wet and dry conditions. They handle much better in heavy downpores than the all-season tires I previously used. Highly recommended for any sporty driver.

Very dissapointed

Bought a full set around 9 months ago. I have 15 mile roundtrip commute 4 days a week and have only been out of town twice (less then 600 miles total). My rear tires have lost ALL there tread down to the wire. My mechanic looked over my vehicle for any mechanical issues that could have caused this and there are none. The tires look like a teenager has been peeling out/ burning rubber with them. I had them replaced with a completely different brand of tires. I am very disappointed, especially since my Michelin tires that I had before lasted me 3 years!
