Simply Amazing rebirth of an BMW e36 M3!

Absolutely hands down, THE BEST tire I have ever used. Instantly transformed the feel of a fully refreshed suspension my e36 M3. As an occasional track car/garage queen, I have had the opportunity to try different brands. Not only has the general ride quality improved over other tires I have tried, but the handling is a dramatic change. Other high performance tires I have tried simply lack the cornering stability of these tires around a tack and in daily driving. That sticky feel in the summer is fantastic. I have a higher degree of confidence in cornering and braking. These tires compliment this cars handling and push it to the limit.

Great tire- but...

I have a 2017 Cadillac ATS-V with 12,750 miles on it. The tires have awesome grip but the ride is harsh. The tires have to be changed (told by my Cadillac dealer) from everyday driving- not 1 burnout (I know). Is this it for the life of the tire? I thought it would last a little longer- also what’s up with the cracking in the tires?? I live in Los Angeles and it gets hot but should I buy another brand?

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.

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.

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.

Dry or wet, grips like a cat

2 door coupe, 5.0L V-8, rear wheel drive. Looking for traction in dry or wet conditions, no cold weather here. Installed on all four; F 225/40R18, R 255/35R18. The Pilot Super Sport gives me ride, handling, predictability. Yes, I *can* break them loose, but I have to consciously want to. Otherwise, starting, stopping and cornering is sure-footed. 8,270 miles now, still look new even with *some* abuse. ;)

Road huggers

I put four new super sports on my audi S5 and they are awesome. They were not the cheapest or the most expensive option but I very content with my purchase. They really grip the road have outstanding traction rain or shine. My car seems to like them as well. I have no issues in the first 6 months of driving on them.

Finally, a tire that lives up to its rep

Finally, a tire that lives up to the on-line reviews I have read. The previous tires on my 08' Mercedes E350 w/ sport suspension were extremely noisy and although they had plenty of tread I couldn't take the noise after 15K miles. The Pilot Super Sports are quiet and grip the road well. I can't comment yet on how much life I will get, but thus far I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. My Mercedes dealer recommended these tires initially.

Great ride

I put a set on my 2004 Vette and they are great. Quiet, smooth, and handle very well. 1500 miles and the car is a joy to drive. No noise even with top down. Would buy again. Good friend with identical Vette feels same way. Highly recommend them. Be careful of tire pressure. It is important.

Performance Tires for my Audi A4

I got these tires by mistake - Audi dealership, despite my request to get all season tires gave me these and tried to persuade me that these are just as safe in cold weather as all season tires. I did not think that is the case. I have to say during summer, they are great. The only things that bother me are when I am in my building's parking garage on concrete after it's rained, the tires make this annoying noise. Other than that, all good.
