THE BEST FOR MY LADY "G"

Wouldn't have any other tire, especially with a sports car like my Mercedes Benz. The brand itself is why I chose Michelin. The ZR rating that the SL500 needs is met by this brand. I believe in this brand, have owned Michelin tires before on other Mercedes I have owned.

Great tires for high performance cars!

The Pilot Super Sports have proven to be an excellent choice for my Viper. They ride better than the PS2 and appear to be wearing better than average for these soft compound type tires. They are great on the track and street. I have driven them through pouring rain with conficence to maintain normal speeds. I would absolutely recommend these tires to anyone looking for the ultimate summer performance tire.

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.

Michelin Pilot SuperSport on Lexus GS350

These tires have been smooth riding as most of the traveling is on California Freeways and about town. Never any issues with going out of balance or any other similar problems. Wear is excellent, and peace of mind riding on Michelins is a dominant factor in choosing tires for the Lexus.

Perfect Performance Dailt Driver Tire

Have the Super Sports now on two cars, 02 M5 and M Coupe. Recently completed a 5k round trip in the coupe to Laguna Seca and back to Texas. Super Sports are excellent highway tire and perform extremely well on the track. Very responsive and progressive and predictable. Heat stable. So far noise is minimal. If the mileage lives up to the rating i will have found the perfect tires.

Be a Hero

This is the very best street tire ever made. Wet or dry, there is no street tire which sticks better, is more perfectly round, or wears more evenly. Do not expect 30k miles: I get about 15k miles. I do not do burnouts or other silly things. I am a racer, and an instructor of road racing and high performance driving, and have done these things for many decades. I'm also a certified master tech...and I know tires VERY well. Once you've driven on these tires, you really can't bring yourself to buy anything less....I am on my fifth set, and the only time I take them off my car is when winter comes. Exactly as advertised, these tires will bring you to a dead stop if you try using them in the snow. But they'll make you a hero in the wet or dry!

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.

Didnt last long

Only 8500 miles on a new 2018 C63S AMG with 285/30ZR20 in rear and 255/35ZR19 in front. The rears are gone and only have another 500-1000 miles of life left till they are completely shot out. The front tires are holding up just fine. Very disappointing. I have never done any burnouts and never taken any long road trips and only drive the car hard occasionally on regular roads.

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.

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.
