Simply Great Tires!

In a few words these are the best hi performance tires I've owned. Very sticky, with great feedback and good bump absorption. Good handling also on wet. Noise is minimal.Thread wear is good also. The only drawback I see so far is higher fuel consumption and the fact that they are very slippery out of the box, so be careful during break in period. If you are looking for performance summer tires don't hesitate. You can't go wrong with Michelin Supersports!

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.

Best performing tire ever

I've had Michelin tires over many years, but this is my first experience with the Michelin Super Sport. Outstanding performance and feel. I was initially concerned about wet weather handling because the tread depth is not as deep as other Michelin tires I've had, but that concern was put to rest during the first storm I drove through. Super smooth and confident in wet and dry weather. The tire even gets a little sticky once they get hot and are driven hard, which results in fantastic handling, just like a true racing tire has. Given the super high performance category, it doesn't last as long as a regular family sedan tire does, but it's well worth the extra money and last longer than other brands in the same category!! So far, this is by far the best tire I've ever had and I've owned 23 cars in my life.

Best tire on the market

The Michelin Pilot Super Sports were purchased to replace my factory PS2s on my IS F. I upsized the tires, and they have such great grip. Taking corners at higher speeds is no trouble. I had a chance to test these out in wet conditions as well. Braking was superb and provided excellent stopping power, much more than the PS2s. For the price, these are as great as a car owner can get. Above and beyond performance, great handling, and can stop on a dime unlike any of the other tires I've tested. My only concern will be tread life. This isn't my track car, but on a daily basis, it should see considerable wear and tear. Only the best for my F, though, and Michelin PSS is the way to go!

Brought the life back out of my car!

Michelin Pilot Super Sport All I can say is wow, these tires have definitely brought the life back out of my car, 06 Subaru STI 476whp. I had not realized that my previous tires made my car feel numb and like a boat. Steering input, and the feel of the road was non-existent. I have now put 3000 miles on these set of Pilots and I enjoy driving it every time I get in. The crispness of steering is back, acceleration and grip is amazing, no more squealing in the high speed turns. They seem to warm up quickly and do not fade easily. I have had a few chances of driving in the rain and wet traction is unbelievable for a performance tire. Predictability in the tires traction is very consistent and uniform, and I do push these tires hard. I have Michelins on two of my other cars, and I don't think I will go with any other manufacturer. The quality and performance I get out of Michelins are definitely worth it. The only thing that could make these tires even better are an even stiffer sidewall than it already has. Don't get me wrong, they are stiff, but personally I like the stiffer.

Excellent Tires

So far, So Good! After 500 miles I am very happy with my Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. They are mounted on a 2007 Audi A4 FWD. The tires seemed to stick like glue from the first day that they were mounted. I noticed more braking adhesion right away. They seemed to give my A4 new life and give me more confidence. They have been driven mostly on weekends in mixed city and highway driving. They ride nice on the highway with little tire noise. Yet they are very stable going through the curves. In the next few weeks I will be joining the local Audi club on several spirited drives. I will know a lot more about the tires after that.

Amazing Performance and Daily Driver

The Pilot Super Sport tires are an amazing product. Michelin had a high bar set with their PS2 line and these somehow managed to exceed my expectations. They have refined road manners with their low noise and comfortable ride. The PSS makes easy going of any commute or road trip and it really makes no sense how they last so long but perform so amazingly (I am on my second set). The real test of these tires is at the track where they surprise everyone with the amount of grip for a non-racing slick tire. Having run many a HPDE I can say that any driver would not be left wanting when choosing the PSS as a tire they can drive to the track, drive on the track with confidence, and then drive home on. These tires are so good at so many things and are even reasonably priced. I don't know what voo-doo Michelin is caught up in over in their R&D department but I say hats and helmets off to you my friends...Bravo.

I have had the Michelin Super Sport tires on my Corvette C6 Z06 for 12,000 miles in 18 inch and 19 inch sizes. I'm very pleased with the tires cornering improvement, better tire grip, low road noise, greater high speed stability, excellent tire wear and overall quality. I drive my Z06 on long road trips and aggressive mountain drives. The Michelin PSS tires perform flawlessly. I would definitely buy these tires for my Corvette or my other cars in the future. I'm a happy customer! Cheers, Keith Nakamura Chino, CA

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)

Spectacular Tire

I purchased this tire for my BMW M3. The tire transformed the car in both handling and how much quieter the car rode. I recently sold my M3 and purchased a new Audi S7, I have ordered a set of Michelin Super Sports to put on an new set of 21" wheels and can not wait to drive on the superior driving tire
