Excellent Tire for C6 Z06 Corvette

Great dry grip, excellent rain handling, GRADUAL breakaway cornering, braking is controlled, better cold weather grip. Before the Super Sports the rear would instantly break loose, not now I can even use some throttle. Honestly Michelin just makes a better all around high performance tire. I have 7 months of driving, 5000 city and 3000 highway for a total of 8000 miles on them. There's still over half the tread on the rears, that's good if your not familiar. I've owned the F1-GS, GS-D3; Supercar, G2; Pilot PS, PS2, and Super Sport. Supercar, G2, and Super sport on Z06 only. It would be surprising if you regretted buying these.

best street tire PERIOD!

i have a 06 G35 with all of the bolt old parts. Keeping it NA. this tire is great for what i bought it for- high performance driving wet or dry. Very, very quiet, well balanced & smooth riding. I have these for when I have to have fun. The tread wear is good considering how well they stick in normal conditions wet and dry. I have a new found joy of driving after these. I would DEFIANTLY get a new set once these turn into slicks. Minor grip about the tire is after it heat cycles there is brown on the side walls.

Takes my GS to a new level

Just replaced the OEM tires on my 2011 Corvette Grand Sport with the Michelin PSS. I can't believe it's the same car. The ride is so much smoother and quieter. I do a lot of driving on rural roads mixed in with Interstate highways. I enjoy pushing the car to it's legal limits and look forward to some track days. The grip of these Super Sports is unlike anything I have experienced in the 3 Corvettes I have owned. The GS is known for a "scuffing" sound and feel at start up speed with the wheels turned. I was resigned to this. It has disappeared with the PSS tires. Simply amazing! Should have made this move a long time ago. Now I need to get more than 16,000 miles on the set as that is what the OEM tires have given me.

Transforms good into wow

Got a new 2011 Audi A4 loaded. The car handled ok until the sidewall blew out on 1 tire at 6k miles. Researched 245/40 R 18 fitments and saw the rave reviews about the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tireline. Bought the tires and they transformed the ride, which was already good. As the ratings show some comfort is lost but handling particularly into corners is top notch. The first thing you notice after driving a few miles is that the tires are warm and become very sticky and picked up grit off my driveway. I was already feeling like an F1 driver! If I wanted to wander up and down the freeway all day then the 30k warrantly might scare you off but as I do 10k miles a year I wanted to get everything out of the car as these tires allow me to do that.

Perfect Performance Dailt Driver Tire

Have the Super Sports now on two cars, 02 M5 and M Coupe. Recently completed a 5k round trip in the coupe to Laguna Seca and back to Texas. Super Sports are excellent highway tire and perform extremely well on the track. Very responsive and progressive and predictable. Heat stable. So far noise is minimal. If the mileage lives up to the rating i will have found the perfect tires.

Best tire made since the original X

I have only ever bought Michelin because they usually are OEM equipment but mostly, I have the utmost confidence in the company. I own over 15 Vintage Lincolns all with their original Michelin X or XA radials. They still do not even look like they have been driven on. Now, these New Super Sports not only are lasting but look good, handle like a dream and ride like I'm on a cloud. Two of the tires didnt even require any weights. The other two only took 1/4 oz. Ive never had a car that had a perfect balance and Ive had over 100 cars in my lifetime. These are the finest tires since the original X which came on the 68 1/2 Lincoln Mark III. These make my car ride like IM on a cloud. I wouldnt have any other tire. The only thing is they should be about 340 tread wear to keep up with the Contientals but other than that. No complaints here!!! These are leaps and bounds ahead of the original Pilots. Those are the WORST wearing tires EVER. I made the dealership change them 3 times. I finally gave up and bought the Super Sports. Best thing I ever did. Don't try and save a few dollars and buy anything but these tires. That is if your application calls for Utra Ultra High Performance tires. My CL 600 which is a bi-Turbo V 12 and has a 25k suspension is very finicky about what it rides on and this tire can handle what ever is thrown its way. Congradulations Michelin!

A great tire - if you can actually get your fitment...

This is an excellent tire, and I am sure that the forthcoming 4S will be even better, but certain fitments have been unavailable for 12-18 months, with occasional availability nationally of a few sets every so often ... in particular the 305/30-20 ... No matter how great your product is, its academic if the market cannot purchase your product...

Always my choice for OEM replacement

Whenever my new car needs replacement tire I choose Michelin. I want the best performing tire in all categories for the season and for Summer Performance the Pilot Super Sport (PSS) delivers for dry and wet traction, ride comfort and tread life, and is a noticeable, superior improvement in all areas to the OEM performance tires as delivered. I have never been disappointed or regret choosing Michelin.

Going on 50 years of driving on Michelin

Replacing the tires on my BMW 330ci convertible was like getting a new car. They are quiet, have a solid grip always surprising me with holding power, and they provide a ride I didn't know the car had in it. I have been a loyal buyer of Michelin tires for over 49 years now!!!

Excellent product for the value

I've had the Michelin PSS on my M3 for approx 8,000 miles. They're a great, solid tire. The cornering and braking capabilities are awesome. Great wear too. Road noise is also very low compared to other tires I've had in the past. I've done one track day with the PSS and they held up really well. Overall very satisfied with the performance and dry traction.
