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.

Great Performing Tire

I now have 14,000 on these MPSS on 2018 X5 M. Going to “measure tomorrow, but my visual says I have a good 6-maybe 8k left. Car was four wheel aligned, pressure tested/ adjusted cold every week, rotated side to side ( staggered) every 7500. Only issue is tires get a bit hard riding & noisy at ½ life of tread. But handle...sshheeiizzziiitt!

excellent tires

Purchased Pilot Super sports about 500 miles ago for my Cayman. Replaced PS2s. Handling and braking is excellent, ride seems a little smother. But than again my old tires were 6 years old and rubber probably hardened up by now. Very happy with my selection.

Excellent tires

I have a set of Pilot Super Sport in my BMW M3. I am an spirited driver and often drive my car on the race track for HPDE events with several auto clubs. These are the best Michelin that I have ever had. The dry traction is excellent , not to mention the wet traction, it feels like you are driving on dry pavement. They have a very quiet ride for being and extreme performance tire. The gas mileage is great. All in all they are excellent on the street as well as on the track.

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.

Wow, performance/comfort = Happy Turbo

Recently bought a set of Pilot Super Sports for my 07 Porsche 911 Turbo. Great handling, quiet ride, low noise and wearing vey well. Exceeded my expectations in all ways. Now I understand what all the buzz is about. If you own a high performance car, these tires will transform your car. It was a great choice, very happy!

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.

Good Product

I purchased a set of four about 45,000 miles ago, and have had only two flats during that time. The treads are ok, but I have a crack all the way around the outer edge. Is this very unusual? It did not happen with my original equipment tires used 7.5 years. I have used this set about 7.5 years, also. THX/"CHUCK"

Best sports tire yet

I previously went through a set of Pilot Sport PS2's on my 2001 BMW 330ci convertible. Those were great tires that were quiet and cornered hard without squeal, but only lasted about 2 years and about 25,000 miles. The new Pilot Super Sports which I put on this past November were as quiet as the PS2's and even slightly better on cornering. With the longer rated tread life at about the same price as the Ps2's they are good evolution of the model. It's not a cheap tire, but it's definitely superior to any other I've had on this car.
