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"

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.

I just bought my second set of PSS tires for my Lexus IS350C. I had about 25,000 miles on them, which is good considering I can't rotate the tires due to the size difference between front and rear. I didn't have any handling issues as the tires aged, and I didn't notice much difference in noise. This tire is outstanding in the dry or wet. Hopefully, I get another 25,000 miles out of these!

I drive a high performance sports car and I depend on the excellent handling that Michelin tires provide. I recently decided to try a different brand tire. What a huge mistake. The other brand tire caused the rear end of my car to drift dangerously around corners. It was even unstable while going straight on the freeway. Luckily I bought them from a store that took them back and replaced them with Michelin tires. I will never change again. I never thought that there was such a huge difference in tires. I'm a true believer now! My car will always have Michelin Super Sport tires from now on!

My Mercedes roadster is now equipped with Pilot Super Sports. These performance tires are smooth, quiet, and confident, both around town and on the highway. Pilot Super Sprots were an excellent replacement choice for the original equipment tires. Road noise is diminished, handling and overall ride comfort are greatly improved. The tires are also very attractive and compliment the good looks of my car. They are an excellent value.....I couldn't be more satisfied!

I drive a 2007 Subaru WRX STi with a KW V3 coil over suspension system. My first set of Pilot SS lasted 31,000 miles of hard driving and performed flawlessly during that time. I rotated and balanced the every 5000 miles and constantly checked and adjusted the tire pressures. I have purchased many high performance tire brands in my life for many cars, but my experience with Michelin and these tires has made me a fan for the future. I have just purchased another set of Pilot SS for my car and look forward to another happy experience.

First foray into Michelin car tires was on a 2001 Volvo I purchased in late 2000, I think they were MXV all season sport radials. On a trip home from family on I-95 North, I was behind a large truck that concealed a giant car-swallowing pothole, there was NO TIME to react all I could do was tighten the grip on the steering wheel and pray. I was sure we were going to crash from the impeding puncture. The impact was so horrendous my teeth gnashed against each other. Amazingly, the car kept going straight, no flat. When I managed to pull off the highway I could see the left from rim had a 3 inch crack in it. But the Michelin tires DID NOT BLOW OUT. What price can you put on saving your entire family? Michelin, (to borrow Volvo's slogan) "FOR LIFE!" Fast Forward to 2011 and acquisition of an '06 E55, a monster of a car. One set of Pilot Super Sports and here goes. My Michelin Pilot Super Sports have not let me down in the several months I have owned them. I am a very aggressive north east driver with a very stout '06 E55 AMG beneath me. This car can rip mortal tires to shreds under acceleration and braking. I have yet to under-brake going into a bend, come out of a hard accelerating corner sideway and in fast sweepers the heavy (4400 lbs) car does not wander, waver of drift off line. Truly a remarkable piece of technology. I literally trust my life to my Michelins. ** [I dont condone speeding to anyone, a hi-perf car doesnt give you skills to stay safe, not even 21 years of racing will, but the latter does help with instant decision making.]

In a few words these are the best hi performance tires I've owned. Very sticky, with great feedback and good bump absorption. Good handling also on wet. Noise is minimal.Thread wear is good also. The only drawback I see so far is higher fuel consumption and the fact that they are very slippery out of the box, so be careful during break in period. If you are looking for performance summer tires don't hesitate. You can't go wrong with Michelin Supersports!

I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina by choice mainly because of the outstanding paved mountain roads in this area. I drive a 2007 Corvette Z06 and have recently purchased the Pilot Super Sport tires. This tire was made for the Z06; at least in my opinion. Everything about the car is better; braking, turn-in, corner speed and exit speed. I also have a spare set of wheels with Sport Cup tires and the Super Sports are not far behind the Sport Cups in traction but much better in any standing water. I have a 21 year old Grandson that drives a RX8 and he asked me what would be the best upgrade for his money. I recommended he install Super Sport tires for his upgrade and he loves the way it made the car handle. Only downside is they are expensive but well worth it.

I finally see why these tires are one of the top rated ones out there. They are amazing in the rain and very sticky when it's dry. They wear very well and aren't noisy at all. You really get the best of both worlds with this tire and none of the compromises. I will definitely buy Super Sports again.
