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.

2008 BMW M3

I originally acquired the car with a staggered setup and PS2 tires. I thought the PS2's were the bomb until I needed to replace them with Pilot Super Sports. Michelin keeps stepping up the bar on these high performance tires. Excelent ride handling and wet weather performance.

My Mini JCW Coupe is HAPPY NOW!!!

These tires WOKE UP my Mini! The handling is incredible and road noise had dropped over the factory runflats to half or more! Handling is off the charts, compared again to the factory runflats. I now can't wait to drive my car every day! I love these tires!

Pilot Super Sport

I installed the Pilot Super Sports on my 2011 Porsche Boxster, and am very pleased with the results. The tires stick like glue and I like them better than the PS2's that I replaced. I drive avidly, some track, and NO rain or snow. I recommend these tires as a perfect NEW replacement for my OEM PS2 Michelins.

Best tires for spirited drivers

I currently own a set of 225/45/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports and the amount of grip that these tires offer do not compare to any other tires out in the market. Dry grip is phenomenal along with the wet traction. I currently have 6000 miles on these tires and have absolutely no issues. Would recommend to anyone in a sports car and have a heavy foot.

Superb tires

When I bought my BMW 330i new in 04, it came with Pilot Sports. I loved that set of tires and went thru probably three sets with no real problems, aside from some noise issues. Never even had to have a re-balance thru their life. The last set of Sports, though, developed some issues after about 3k miles. Balance problems, stability problems. Incredibly enough, Michelin stepped up to the plate and REPLACED them free of charge with the Super Sport and, man, are these things good. They are even stickier than the originals, and with better ride quality to boot! Not only were the new set of tires provided at no charge, they even paid for installation. This is what customer service should be like (BMW could learn a HUGE lesson here)

Pilot Super Sport on 2010 Vette. NOT happy.

I'm going with average because the rear tires are okay but the front have worn away to-no tread on front right tire & almost no tread on front left front in only 2,000 miles! The rear tires are just fine. Got a 4 wheel alignment with the install so I do not understand why the front are already bald!

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.

Fast wearing

Purchased these Pilot Super Sport tires for the rear as I only got 10,000 miles from the originals. The handling and smoothness was great. I am a smart/safe driver and regiously check the air pressure but only got 7,000 miles off these tires, especially the right rear, which is the torc side. The left rear still has at least half the tread left but I will have to change them both. I was told that's the nature of the beast. I will think of sacrificing smoothness for a little more wear life and look for something else.

BMW M3 2012

Great tires, why can't I find anymore? What is the problem? Are you not making them anymore? Shame I would rate them 5 stars is I could find another set. I need tires and now I have to buy tires made from a different manufacturer. Why lose my business and praise? Kind of strange can't find a set anywhere!!!! Help us out Michelin!!! Please I need tires asap. If you need someone to test out some new products I volunteer. I need FR 255-35-19 and rear 285-30-19.
