I love these tires

I bought a set of 4 Super Sports for my 2006 BMW 330i and I couldn't be happier. I swap them on every summer (set of PA3's for my winter set) and they never fail to be awesome. They have insane grip, great wet performance and didn't even hurt my fuel economy. Five stars all around!

Super Great Tires

I am extremely glad that I read other people's reviews before I bought a set of tires. Michelin Pilot Super Sport came on top on many websites by consumers, so I decided to give them a try. The best way to notice the difference is to have a set of cheap tires on your car and replace them with premium set like these. Exactly what happened to me. EVERYTHING improved, from handling to braking to cornering. But what really impressed me was how sticky they are, never had a thought that I could lose control of the vehicle in any corner (no matter how fast). They are a bit nosier but hey... you can't have everything. I love my new set of Michelins and would definitely buy another set.

Outstanding performance

I drive a high performance sports car and I depend on the excellent handling that Michelin tires provide. I recently decided to try a different brand tire. What a huge mistake. The other brand tire caused the rear end of my car to drift dangerously around corners. It was even unstable while going straight on the freeway. Luckily I bought them from a store that took them back and replaced them with Michelin tires. I will never change again. I never thought that there was such a huge difference in tires. I'm a true believer now! My car will always have Michelin Super Sport tires from now on!

Tires deliver performance & durability

I had my Lexus GS tires replaced in 2012 per dealer's maintenance recommendation. Ever since then, I can feel noticeable change maneuverability: The more precise angle, the stability on muddy and rainy roads. With the new set of Pilot Super Sport tires, driving my Lexus becomes an unforgettable experience!

A lot of tire for the money.

I own a BMW 330ci. The Michelin Super Sport seem to be a perfect fit for my car. They are quiet and provide a comfortable ride with a sidewall that compliments the sport suspension with better compliance over sharp bumps compared to other tires I have used. The handling is just exceptional and I am most impressed because the grip is so sticky and, yet, wear is negligible after several thousand miles. And the price was right. My aim is to provide honest feedback and, to be honest, I cannot find a thing wrong with my Pilot Super Sports. I am completely satisfied with their performance and would buy them again.

Pilot Super Sport - Grip - Guts - Glory

One of the best tires I have ever owned. The Super Sport summer tires gives me confidence on all road conditions. This tire has grip in wet or dry weather. The offer me full control when approaching sharp curves and rounding corners. My MB C300 Spot 4 Matic already handled well the Super Sport makes it even better. My tire installer told me when I got these tires that thy had "hops" in the front pair and I am not sure what that means. What is a "hop"? I just hope that these "hopped" tires don't translate into premature wear. The only thing I don't like about these tires is that I will have to take them off in the winter.

Great Tire

Plus: quiet, compliant ride, excellent handling and braking in both dry and wet conditions. Minimal wear with 8000 miles on tire set. Negitive: muted thumping sound at speeds above 45mph. Suspect it is not due to the tire as I had this on my previous set of tires. (balancing and alignment were within normal limits) so I suspect it is the suspension geometry.

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.

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!

Best tire made since the original X

I have only ever bought Michelin because they usually are OEM equipment but mostly, I have the utmost confidence in the company. I own over 15 Vintage Lincolns all with their original Michelin X or XA radials. They still do not even look like they have been driven on. Now, these New Super Sports not only are lasting but look good, handle like a dream and ride like I'm on a cloud. Two of the tires didnt even require any weights. The other two only took 1/4 oz. Ive never had a car that had a perfect balance and Ive had over 100 cars in my lifetime. These are the finest tires since the original X which came on the 68 1/2 Lincoln Mark III. These make my car ride like IM on a cloud. I wouldnt have any other tire. The only thing is they should be about 340 tread wear to keep up with the Contientals but other than that. No complaints here!!! These are leaps and bounds ahead of the original Pilots. Those are the WORST wearing tires EVER. I made the dealership change them 3 times. I finally gave up and bought the Super Sports. Best thing I ever did. Don't try and save a few dollars and buy anything but these tires. That is if your application calls for Utra Ultra High Performance tires. My CL 600 which is a bi-Turbo V 12 and has a 25k suspension is very finicky about what it rides on and this tire can handle what ever is thrown its way. Congradulations Michelin!
