I've got these on a 2003 BMW 330i, which previously had a set of Pilot Sport 2's that lasted for 22,000 miles. I have about 13,000 miles on the PSS and the tread seems to be wearing well - still has 8/32 depth minimum left. I drive in a spirited manner but never on a track. Pros: Awesome grip in the dry and wet. Pretty quiet for a high performance summer tire. Responsive, but not to the point of feeling darty. Cons: A little pricier than the average high performance summer tire. Could maybe be a little quieter and absorb bumps better - but hey, it's a high performance tire, not a touring tire. Overall, an excellent choice for those who enjoy driving.

I used this Michelin Pilot Super Sport size 225/40ZR18 on my 2013 Honda Fit. No matter how hard I drive this car on the corner, never once this tire let go ! The Grip is tremendous, the ride is as comfortable as the stock tire, and the noise level is acceptable ! I think this is The Best Street Tire in The World !

I just purchased a pre-owned 2006 Acura TL last year, but it needed new tires asap. After doing some research on-line I found several performance tests of the Super Sport, so I figured I would give them a try. I will say that the dry weather performance is outstanding and the wet weather performance is just as impressive (Wet get a lot of rain here in Florida!). The only downside is the wear. With less than 20K miles I had to replace my tires. The tire store did give me credit towards the new set, but it was an expense I was not ready for. I may rethink my next set for something a bit longer lasting as I do a lot of highway miles. Still, for any performance car, I would say give these tires a try at least once.

These tires have been smooth riding as most of the traveling is on California Freeways and about town. Never any issues with going out of balance or any other similar problems. Wear is excellent, and peace of mind riding on Michelins is a dominant factor in choosing tires for the Lexus.

After a year and a half this tire has a persistent leak down that accelerates as pressure lowers. It is unreliable and there is no excuse for producing such a poorly manufactured tire. Tire seller is unable to repair this tire despite 2 attempts. So get ready to replace more than one.

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.]

One of best wet traction tires on the market. Feels like the roads are dry when it raining like crazy. Best handling tires on the market also. Makes the car handle like it's on rails. I recommend these tires for the best summer tires out there. BEST Choice EVER.

I am on my second set of these on my Audi Avant (255/35/19) and am very impressed. They are incredibly durable and when I do track days in the rain I leave these on and they have performed very well for a street tire. The only problem I ever encountered was at a two day track event where I expected rain and instead encountered 90-100+ temps. The edges of the tread blocks did incur some chunking but with more than 3 degrees negative camber and high temps, it was not unexpected. Overall wear was minor even with that abuse...and that is a 4000 lb wagon being pushed to keep up with so called "sports cars" By comparison, the OEM tires from an Italian manufacturer wore out very quickly and were prone to flat spotting if the car sat undriven for a week or more. Two other models from a German company were noisy and also lasted less than 12k miles each. I should disclose that I have been given 2 sets of The Italian company's tires and currently have a third set of their Dot-R compound tires mounted on my track wheels. Regardless, I prefer the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and think it is a phenomenal tire for longevity as well as grip all with minimal tire noise. I recommend them to all of my friends seeking high quality perfomance street tires that last and know that a set will soon be replacing the older Michelin PS2's currently on my Mercedes E55 AMG. Please make these in a size for my Cayenne Turbo (295/35/21)

I had to replace my OEM Pilot PS2 and was choosing what to do next. people in the PCA website and tirerack would say that Michelins were great and since they were OEM, I figured to stay with them. Knowing that the PS2 only had a 20k shelf life on them, I opted for the Pilot SS with a 30k life. What I got was a extreme performance tire with a smooth ride and it soaked up the Massachusetts road imperfections much better than my PS2's.

Great tire. Grips excellent. Predictable behavior when you want to get the rear end to slide. Quiet tire. Really great in the wet! There is literally no reason (I know of) to buy another tire if you have a higher performance car that you need to perform on the street and track.
