Amazing

I had these PS2s on a BMW 525Ti, M package...I can't think of a better combination of performance and comfort. The Super Sports I have on my STI are fantastic: dry grip so high it's scary. But I do a lot of highway cruising. For me, the road noise and relatively hard ride of the Super Sports on long drives (500+ kms) is tiresome...I'll keep the Super Sports for track days, no way I'm giving them up. But for everyday driving, I've bought new wheels and I'm going to install a set of PS2s on them. I'm a loyal Michelin client, starting with XZX back in the day with my '67 Triumph Spitfire...nothing but Michelin for me.

The best sport tire period

The PSS tire is bay far the only tire I would choose for my performance vehicles that have time on the road and track. Theuy are designed well, handle both in dry and wet normally past the normal driver's limits. Tire wear is to be expected aggressive but I have avergaed 15,000 miles under many road conditions. If your and your families safety is paramount. How could you not provide the best driving and handling experience?

A lot of tire for the money.

I own a BMW 330ci. The Michelin Super Sport seem to be a perfect fit for my car. They are quiet and provide a comfortable ride with a sidewall that compliments the sport suspension with better compliance over sharp bumps compared to other tires I have used. The handling is just exceptional and I am most impressed because the grip is so sticky and, yet, wear is negligible after several thousand miles. And the price was right. My aim is to provide honest feedback and, to be honest, I cannot find a thing wrong with my Pilot Super Sports. I am completely satisfied with their performance and would buy them again.

Look versus feel, new Pilot Super Sports

I recently purchased a set of Pilot Super Sports 245/40 ZR17 on the back and 225/45s in the front, for my 10 year old CLK 430 AMG convertible. I only have 28,000 miles on this car and I really liked the original equipment tires which were the Pilot Sport model, recently discontinued. I really liked the look of that old tread pattern and recall the tires felt great at higher speeds. So I was concerned about how the new super sport tires would feel, and looked. After a recent trip to Boston, about 4+ hours each way at highway speeds, the new tires felt great on the road. We had rain at one point for over an hour, and I felt just fine. The Super Sports have a deeper channel for throwing off the rain, so at higher speeds I felt more comfortable than I recall feeling when running the old tires in the rain at highway speeds. The old model tires certainly had a lower profile for rain. On the new tires in the rain, I did not have any instances of slippage or instability at any point in time, particularly when taking the entrance and exit ramps from the highway at reasonable speeds. I also have not noticed any unusual wear on the new tires after about 2,000 miles of usage. However, I do miss the more aggressive tread pattern on the old tires and how they looked on this particular sports car. MB.

The All New Mitchelin Performance Tires

With all the new vehicles being made in the next 10 years Mitchelin tires should be on all of them as a stock tire to make total performance for the best in all the newer vehicles. I love Michelin tires & always have. I use Michelin all season radial tires on my old pick up truck, they do not make noise as I drive down the road, I should use them on my 98 Corvette Coupe, unfortunately, right now being retired from the mechanical work force/repair shops that I once owned, I bought my 98 Corvette with another brand name of performance tires, not as great as Michelin, but good, too! Keep up the great work Michelin maybe one day I will be back in the mechanical repair shop promoting Michelin Tires once again to my customers for all their sports cars?

Best tires, I would buy this tires again

These 235/40ZR-18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport XL tires are on my 2007 Audi A4 3.2 Sports Line and they are GREAT!!! These tires have better traction, rides smoother and quieter than before. Most of all, they made the car feel much better, leading to greater confidence when cornering and braking and thus, overall safety. I would certainly recommend these tires to my family members and friends. One should never compromise on brakes and tires and this is a good example of me buying these excellent tires for summer driving. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance of these tires.

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!

New Michelin Pilot Super Sport 4S

I drive a small sports coupe as a daily most of the year and experience nearly all types of driving conditions. So far the tires have lived up their reputation. The performance is second to none - very nice grip, predictable, crisp response to steering inputs and good wet grip. They are a bit noisier than the OEM's I took off, but that's not really a fair comparison at this point. (I didn't buy them because they were quiet either!) For some reason I get a bit more steering wheel vibration at speed - the tire dealer has balanced the fronts twice now. Caveat: I only have put about 250 miles on these bad boys.

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. ;)

Tires deliver performance & durability

I had my Lexus GS tires replaced in 2012 per dealer's maintenance recommendation. Ever since then, I can feel noticeable change maneuverability: The more precise angle, the stability on muddy and rainy roads. With the new set of Pilot Super Sport tires, driving my Lexus becomes an unforgettable experience!
