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.

Amazing in the dry, amazing in the wet.

I finally see why these tires are one of the top rated ones out there. They are amazing in the rain and very sticky when it's dry. They wear very well and aren't noisy at all. You really get the best of both worlds with this tire and none of the compromises. I will definitely buy Super Sports again.

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.

OUTSTANDING TIRE FOR TRACK USE

I JUST FINISHED A FULL TRACK DAY IN MY SATURN SKY RACE CAR EQUIPPED WITH PILOT SUPER SPORTS. THESE TIRES HELD UP BETTER THAN ANY OTHER STREET TIRE I'VE EVER USED FOR TRACK. THEY WERE VERY PREDICTABLE AND HAD EXCELLENT GRIP, EVEN WHEN HOT. WITH A PROPER TRACK ALIGNMENT, THEY WEAR EXTREMELY EVEN. STARTING THE DAY, TREADWEAR WAS 9/32. BY THE END OF THE DAY, THEY WERE WORN TO 7/32 ALL THE WAY ACROSS. BY THE THIRD SESSION, I WAS DRIFTING CORNERS DUE TO THE LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THESE TIRES GAVE ME. EXCELLENT TIRE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THANK YOU MICHELIN FOR ANOTHER GREAT TIRE.

Excellent upgrade for my BMW

I replaced mis-matched tires on my 2004 BMW 330ci with sports package and 18" wheel upgrades. They are much quieter and smoother, handling and grip are excellent. They have really upgraded the feel and performance of the car. It took me a couple of days to get used to the difference but now I would not do any other tire.

longest tread life ever on a performance

as a performance car enthusiast, I always have high performance tires on my cars. after having chewed through a several sets of p-zero's, I switched to pilot super sports and have not looked back! better handling, braking & cornering and almost 50% more tread life. I just took delivery of a new SLS GTC and it came with pilot super sports as standard. I guess the boys in Affalterbach have finally discovered what I already knew!

Much better than OEM

I need replacements for my Cadillac CTS-V which eats tires. There are few good run-flat options that are also high-performance tires. I decided to go with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports after reading a lot of good reviews on them. So far performance wise they have been great, low noise, and very sticky in the dry. I don't drive this car in the winter snow, so I cannot comment on wet or cold weather performance. I haven't done a lot of mileage so I also cannot comment on wear, but after some "spirited" driving, they have held up well. I gave up on the run-flat option, and just carry a can of fix-a-flat in the trunk. The better ride is worth the trade-off. If they wear well, I would definitely buy these tires again.

Highly recommened purchase

Fair weather driving only. The handling 4 sure,look of the tire is also a plus but this was one of the best upgrades I could have done to my 350Z. These are just an all around well designed tire. You can tell when taking high speed turns,the stopping and acceleration. Michelin is the best they put it all together in this tire. They make me want to get another set for my Z now. I hope Michelin never stops making this tire and if they do please put me on the contest list to win a set. Thank you very much Michelin for making this driver very happy on my purchase.

Pilot Super Sport

I chose Michelin Pilot Super Sport to replace G-Y "run-flat" tires on my 2007 Corvette. Although Michelin makes Pilot Super Sport tires in many sizes. Michelin does not make size 285/35zr19 available for Chevrolet. (in efforts to drive the sale to Michelin's run-flat series?) I was therefore forced to purchase a smaller size 275/35zr19. I still prefer the Super Sport tires. They are much more comfortable to ride, make the car perform with much more agility. I only wish they made them in the correct size to fit my car.

Great Tire

Used on the street and at the track. Great longevity and very good handling on the track but still good on the street and in the wet on the track. The only way to get a better handling track tire when it is dry is to go to a track/dry only tire and they do not last near as long. You sacrifice a little dry track handling for excellaent longevity and wet performance.
