Pilot Super Sport TIRE REVIEW

Good tires

Dissapointment

I am very unhappy with my tires. These OEM tires for my 2016 corvette. I purchased these tires and immediately felt a vibration that was not there before. I took the car back to the shop and they told me there was a slight bend in the rim and suggested I get them road force balanced. I took them to the Chevy dealer in Clinton, IL. They failed 3 out of the 4 tires and said there was no bent rim. I went back to the shop and showed them the receipt for the road force and they told me there was no way the tires are bad and refused to do anything more. I cannot afford to just put on another set. I really liked the way the old tires road and is why I spent the money for the same tires. Very disappointed on the whole deal.

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.
