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.

Superb tires

I purchased the tires in June for my BMW 650i convertible and have driven cross country - some 6000 miles - in the last two months and have beem amazed at the ride comfort, lack of road noise compared to the factory run flats and the handling and grip of these tires. I tend to drive aggressively and the tires have responded well in every situation. Highly remommend these tires.

Great gripand smooth ride.

Put these on my 2010 WRX and felt tehe difference rgiht away. Solid grip in every situation. very smooth and quiet and don't let go when pushing the car! Great for carving the canyons.The only thing i can say bad about these tires is they wear really fast. My car is stock height and they aren't wearing evenly compared to my stock tires and my alignment was checked out it's perfect. they do have a mileage warranty so that should come in handy. but at this rate I'll be lucky to even get 10k miles out of them.even with wearing quickly i have neve felt such grip and comfrt from any single tire until now. Michelin for the win!

Transforms good into wow

Got a new 2011 Audi A4 loaded. The car handled ok until the sidewall blew out on 1 tire at 6k miles. Researched 245/40 R 18 fitments and saw the rave reviews about the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tireline. Bought the tires and they transformed the ride, which was already good. As the ratings show some comfort is lost but handling particularly into corners is top notch. The first thing you notice after driving a few miles is that the tires are warm and become very sticky and picked up grit off my driveway. I was already feeling like an F1 driver! If I wanted to wander up and down the freeway all day then the 30k warrantly might scare you off but as I do 10k miles a year I wanted to get everything out of the car as these tires allow me to do that.

Amazing tires.

I bought these to be my 3-season tire for my 2006 Audi A4 Avant. After 25,000 miles and life still to go, I cannot fathom how sticky these tires were. I say "were" because I got a nail in the sidewall last week and couldn't find a replacement set quick enough. Road feel is exceptional with these tires. Incredibly communicative. The grip is nothing short of exceptional. I could turn hard enough at autocross events to lift both my inside tires if I wasn't careful. Compared to the PS2, these really need some heat in them to perform optimally. I also think their hydroplane resistance is not as good as a normal PS2. By no means is it bad, but driving back to back you can tell a difference. With that said, these things grip sooooo much better in the dry than my PS2's ever did.

Quietly the Best Handling Tire Ever

This tire is clearly the quietest best handling tire I have owned. In wet roads, hot roads, traffic cornering, and basically all levels of traffic conditions and weather they are great. My car is powerful and these tires handle the torque, acceleration and braking without the excessive noise I was accustomed to. Fantastic - another Michelin winner.

It is the thing

I have a 1000 mile on the pilot super sport installed on my infiniti G35 Coupe and it is a fun experience. The grip is phenomenal and the handeling is superb. I just want to verify if they will last 2x as there compatertor, if this the case...then i found my tire brand.

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.

Persistent leak down tire

After a year and a half this tire has a persistent leak down that accelerates as pressure lowers. It is unreliable and there is no excuse for producing such a poorly manufactured tire. Tire seller is unable to repair this tire despite 2 attempts. So get ready to replace more than one.
