Absolutely Brilliant

Time and time again, Michelin tires exceed expectations. I had PS/2s on my previous car and was very happy with them. When I purchased a different car, it did not arrive with Michelins so I drove on them for a little while, and then found an excuse to replace them when part of the sidewall was peeling. I purchased Pilot Super Sports and they are fantastic. The ride in my car is so much smoother and they grip through the corners very, very well. Michelins are far and way the best tire you can get and worth every penny.

Wow!

I bought these tires to replace the OEM "performance" tires my Audi S4 was equipped originally. Much, much better than OEM Summer tires. Handles better, grips better in dry or wet weather. Much more precise turn in. I have no complaints at all. I just wonder how long they will last.

Outstanding Performance

I now have 10k miles on these tires, which I cannot rotate due to different size front/rear, and they still have a lot of tread remaining. I am expecting 20-25k out of these tires. Granted, I don't drive my car that hard (Lexus IS350C). These tires are like glue for your car. They can take interstate off ramps at speeds that make me feel uneasy with no slipping or squealing. They stay plastered to the road in heavy thrunderstorms and I have yet to hydroplane. The other reviews are true...If you are looking for a performance tire, this is it. I will definitely replace these with another set when the time comes.

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.

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.

Amazing, Sticky even in the rain!

Just put a set of these on my 350z Roadster and the grip is amazing. It's been raining here for days and the conversion from the old tires has happened during the rains. This has been a great opportunity to compare the old tires to the new and the difference is night and day. I accelerated aggressively from stop into a 90 degree right hand turn and not a hint spin from the rears. In the past I would get a little sideways before the traction control would kick in. Not today! Just acceleration without spin. Stop is just as amazing. I whole heartedly recommend these tires to sports cars enthusiasts.

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!

Found my love in Michelin

Why don't all performance cars come standard with the Pilot Super Sport? This is the king of all grip and performance, I liken this to someone using Gorilla Glue on my tire they just won't break from the road. Thank you Michelin engineers for bringing happiness back into my driving experience.

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!

tires

I put 4 new tires on my car and after 8 months of driving I had a blowout on the front and the tire wear was not very good. the orginal tires lasted 5 years and the replacement tires did not last 2 yrs, for the price we paid I would have thought I would have gotten better life out of them.
