Best street tires on my Audi

I am on my second set of these on my Audi Avant (255/35/19) and am very impressed. They are incredibly durable and when I do track days in the rain I leave these on and they have performed very well for a street tire. The only problem I ever encountered was at a two day track event where I expected rain and instead encountered 90-100+ temps. The edges of the tread blocks did incur some chunking but with more than 3 degrees negative camber and high temps, it was not unexpected. Overall wear was minor even with that abuse...and that is a 4000 lb wagon being pushed to keep up with so called "sports cars" By comparison, the OEM tires from an Italian manufacturer wore out very quickly and were prone to flat spotting if the car sat undriven for a week or more. Two other models from a German company were noisy and also lasted less than 12k miles each. I should disclose that I have been given 2 sets of The Italian company's tires and currently have a third set of their Dot-R compound tires mounted on my track wheels. Regardless, I prefer the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and think it is a phenomenal tire for longevity as well as grip all with minimal tire noise. I recommend them to all of my friends seeking high quality perfomance street tires that last and know that a set will soon be replacing the older Michelin PS2's currently on my Mercedes E55 AMG. Please make these in a size for my Cayenne Turbo (295/35/21)

Great grip on this tire!

I wore my previous tire down to the cord on the inside edge of both tires. Bad camber maybe? They were 265/40/18 and I moved to the Michelin Super Sport 265/35/18 and the ride and grip is amazing. It is totally stable and it grabs hard when I accelerate through a tight corner. It just won't slide on me anymore. My 11 year old Porsche feels like it did the day I bought it! Kudos Michelin!

Excellent tires!

I have a set of 255/35 and 275/30 on my 2005 M3 ZCP that I mainly use as a daily driver I absolutely love these tires they hold up well, grip superb, and after a few month and a few thousand miles later they still look and handle like I just put them on. Only complaint I have is why I never got these sooner and why wernt they free

Great tire for the Acura TL

I just purchased a pre-owned 2006 Acura TL last year, but it needed new tires asap. After doing some research on-line I found several performance tests of the Super Sport, so I figured I would give them a try. I will say that the dry weather performance is outstanding and the wet weather performance is just as impressive (Wet get a lot of rain here in Florida!). The only downside is the wear. With less than 20K miles I had to replace my tires. The tire store did give me credit towards the new set, but it was an expense I was not ready for. I may rethink my next set for something a bit longer lasting as I do a lot of highway miles. Still, for any performance car, I would say give these tires a try at least once.

Beware

I have a 2017 bmwx6m that I purchased brand new in September of 2017. Last summer I had only 5,000 miles on the car & my front tires were wearing horrible. Went to BMW & had to fight to get them replaced for free after being told that I drive “ hard”. I have a 1.7 mile commute on local suburban streets. Now one of my rear tires. A 325 30 ZR 21 has failed miserably. I have about 16,000 miles on the car. Would never recommend these tires to anyone

Super Sports are a huge improvement

I bought the Pilot Super Sports to replace the stock run flats on my BMW 335i coupe. Huge improvement. I can feel how the car is gripping the road now. I tracked the car with the run flats before moving to the super sports and what an amazing difference. Tires ae a bit quieter as well.

Outstanding Pilot Super Sports !

I custom - ordered my E92 BMW 335ix new in 2008 to get it equipped as I wanted, then had it upgraded with Dinan parts. The one thing I could not get around was the factory run-flat tires. At 30,000 miles, I replaced them with non- run-flats, and liked them, but one of the tires wore pre-maturely, and the manufacturer wouldn't adjust it. I knew what to do. I purchased a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports, which I had avoided earlier in an attempt to save a bit of money. After approximately 3,000 miles I wish I bought the Super Sports last time. They "Contact" the highway better, they are silent and absolutely smooth. From past years of Michelin ownership, I know if I have a problem, the company will stand behind their products.

Great gripand smooth ride.

Put these on my 2010 WRX and felt tehe difference rgiht away. Solid grip in every situation. very smooth and quiet and don't let go when pushing the car! Great for carving the canyons.The only thing i can say bad about these tires is they wear really fast. My car is stock height and they aren't wearing evenly compared to my stock tires and my alignment was checked out it's perfect. they do have a mileage warranty so that should come in handy. but at this rate I'll be lucky to even get 10k miles out of them.even with wearing quickly i have neve felt such grip and comfrt from any single tire until now. Michelin for the win!

G35

I have installed Michelin Pilot Tires in my G35 since new(original tires). I have not liked the very short life they have. These new Pilot Super Sport are a good compromise between a good grip and durability. These tires las a little longer but they are not as "grippy" as the Pilots II.
