poor wear
These tires only gave me 23,500 miles of service before the tread depth was less than safe. I have used only Michelin tires on all our cars for years and, except for these, have always given exceptional wear.
New Tires
Very high performance tires
Smiles for Mountain Miles
After 2 years and 20k miles, the Super Sports remain my favorite tire ever. I lean on these tires as hard as I dare for as long as I want and they as predictable hot as they are cold. Turn in was so much better than OEM that I would have clipped a curb if not paying attention when they were first installed. They are exceptional in daily driving too but they tramline a tiny bit on certain concrete road surfaces. They just dig holes in loose sand and are worthless in snow but that’s not what these are about. They’re exceptionally good in wet and way better than expected in cold dry conditions. Oversteer is so controlled, predictable and manageable with these tires that they just invite spirited driving on unpopulated mountain roads!
Outstanding handling and performance
I run the Super Sport on a 2018 BMW M6, and I wouldn't consider any other tire for that vehicle. I've tried Firestone, Continental and Hancook, and none of them handled nearly as well as the Michelin. The rubber is soft so you don't get great mileage out of them, but if you're buying a tires for that reason get a Honda. The BMW is all about performance, and this the tire that will handle the best.
Performance tire best dollar per smile you can get
Love these tires! I have a very aggressive alignment but i track the vehicle, these bad boys are like being on rails! The only thing i’m bummed out about is they aren’t available through my vendors like ATD.
Terrible life expectancy
I purchased these for my '06 Chrysler Crossfire after only getting 15k out of Hankook V12s. The Crossfire has different size front and rear tire, so the only rotation option is to move them from left to right. My Crossfire is a cruiser, not an every day car. I don't spin out when accelerating, but do like to have fun. But after 10k miles the tires barely passed inspection. I get it, you never get the rated mileage, but really? 10k miles for tire that run $250 / pop.

Pilot SuperSport summer Tires
Great great tires. Bought these 1 year ago because prior set worked so well and got great mileage I bought them again.
Great street tires, good wear when used correctly
I have had mine for three years, 2019 GS. Reading all these reviews just don't make sense to me. I put 15k on them and yes I'm looking for another set for this summer. I don't track the car but I do drive it harder in the turns. FYI, I've been involved with racing for 35 years. New factory performance cars seldom have a good alignment for street driving. I had my car realigned by a shop that has a racing background. I took the toe out of the front and checked the back. The car tracks better and has better tire wear. I had an Italian car with 600 HP and got 5000 miles off of those tires. I felt lucky., so stop complaining or maybe change your driving habits.
Poor tire wear
These are rated at 30k miles but after only 10k miles my tires are at the 3mm tread depth and I can hear the treadwear indicators. When new, these are excellent tires...they are comfortable enough for the casual cruise but exhibit super grip and responsive road handling when needed. The premature treadwear is a bit alarming. My vehicle is garaged for six months in the winter and driven mostly on pleasure cruises when active.
DrKremel, sorry to read that your tires are worn prior to delivering the mileage expected. There is a mileage warranty on the tire. We'd suggest that you return to the selling retailer to initiate a mileage warranty claim.
