goodbye runflats, hello Pilo Super Sport

Finally ditched the OEM runflats off my 2011 BMW Z4. These tires have such great lateral grip, on/off ramps will bring a smile. Much quieter than previous tires and of course, gone is that awful juddering across uneven surfaces when turning. Looking forward to finally feeling the car handle as it was designed.

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.

Excellent Tires

So far, So Good! After 500 miles I am very happy with my Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. They are mounted on a 2007 Audi A4 FWD. The tires seemed to stick like glue from the first day that they were mounted. I noticed more braking adhesion right away. They seemed to give my A4 new life and give me more confidence. They have been driven mostly on weekends in mixed city and highway driving. They ride nice on the highway with little tire noise. Yet they are very stable going through the curves. In the next few weeks I will be joining the local Audi club on several spirited drives. I will know a lot more about the tires after that.

Excellent Street Tire!!!

Aggressive Street Driving/Autocross Excellent Street grip in either dry or wet conditions, wear rate is also great. Only problem I had with the tires is that they did not match my demands of them in autocross, about 1 second off the pace compared to other cars running the extreme performance category tires, since these are only max performance I give them the benefit of the doubt. Love these as street tires though.

The only performance tire I'll ever buy

I bought the Pilot Super Sports as the 3rd set of tires for my heavily modified BMW 335i. These tires took my car to a whole different level of performance. Their grip on the dry land and especially on the wet roads are remarkable. My wife was a little skeptical about the additional price, but as soon as I took her out in my car and showed her how dependable and SAFE they are, she literally said to me, "I don't ever want you to buy another tire". The grip and performance are truly top notch and why every supercar and hypercar maker puts Michelins on their cars. These are the pinnacles, the best, second to none. And for them to be priced so that everyday guys like me can buy them, that's just remarkable. THANK YOU MICHELIN!!!!

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.

tires

I put 4 new tires on my car and after 8 months of driving I had a blowout on the front and the tire wear was not very good. the orginal tires lasted 5 years and the replacement tires did not last 2 yrs, for the price we paid I would have thought I would have gotten better life out of them.

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.

Great performance tires

The Pilot Super Sports are great tires. The handling and breaking with them has been great. I actually felt an improvement with my car going to them over the stock PS2s that came on it. They're also quieter which is nice. I'd rather listen to my engine note than the road. :) My only complaint on them is wear. I'm burning through my rear tires fairly quickly with normal use, no track use. I'm on my 3rd set of rears now with the first 2 sets only getting about 9k miles each. The front tires are still going strong though with about 18k on them. When I just replaced the rears they still had 60% tread. Don't let that scare you off though. They're well worth it if you have a high performance car. The performance, ride, and road noise with them is worth the possible shorter life on the rears and you can probably get better life by rotating. I run staggered, so I can't rotate. I highly recommend them.

Great tire- but...

I have a 2017 Cadillac ATS-V with 12,750 miles on it. The tires have awesome grip but the ride is harsh. The tires have to be changed (told by my Cadillac dealer) from everyday driving- not 1 burnout (I know). Is this it for the life of the tire? I thought it would last a little longer- also what’s up with the cracking in the tires?? I live in Los Angeles and it gets hot but should I buy another brand?
