SOOO GREAT!!
SOOO GREAT!! Having driven the 2015 BMW M3 with the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and the other OEM option, there is no comparison... The Michelin is superior in every way. The feel, feedback, and confidence inspiring grip is something you need to experience to grasp an understanding of the performance of the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

So far so good out perform the Goodyears hands down, could break the Goodyears loose easily not with these.
disappointed
Have had a high speed shimmy since new, was given a new set of tires after balancing other set three times and checking alignment twice, still have high speed shimmy on new set
Found my love in Michelin
Why don't all performance cars come standard with the Pilot Super Sport? This is the king of all grip and performance, I liken this to someone using Gorilla Glue on my tire they just won't break from the road. Thank you Michelin engineers for bringing happiness back into my driving experience.
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.
Fantastic tire
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.
Want these for your OEM M3/M4? Too bad
Do you want to replace your tires with the tires your car came with? Sorry... not happening. Michelin isnt making these. As of 1/15/2016 there are none anywhere in the USA. Blow a tire? Too bad. Gotta buy a set of some other make. If you are going to offer a product Michelin please make sure you actually make the tire.
OUTSTANDING TIRE FOR TRACK USE
I JUST FINISHED A FULL TRACK DAY IN MY SATURN SKY RACE CAR EQUIPPED WITH PILOT SUPER SPORTS. THESE TIRES HELD UP BETTER THAN ANY OTHER STREET TIRE I'VE EVER USED FOR TRACK. THEY WERE VERY PREDICTABLE AND HAD EXCELLENT GRIP, EVEN WHEN HOT. WITH A PROPER TRACK ALIGNMENT, THEY WEAR EXTREMELY EVEN. STARTING THE DAY, TREADWEAR WAS 9/32. BY THE END OF THE DAY, THEY WERE WORN TO 7/32 ALL THE WAY ACROSS. BY THE THIRD SESSION, I WAS DRIFTING CORNERS DUE TO THE LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THESE TIRES GAVE ME. EXCELLENT TIRE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THANK YOU MICHELIN FOR ANOTHER GREAT TIRE.
Outstanding performance
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!
Wobble under accelleration
A tire I want to love, however on high powered Mustangs and Corvettes they have a wobble issue under acceleration. Sure wish this wasn't the case but it is. Do a search on the internet, it's a common issue. I have a 2014 GT500 and the tires will scare you as they are unstable with 600hp. Traction, handling, wear, all excellent, stability under acceleration poor. Michelin, I'd love to talk to someone about this and get it resolved in a future high performance tire.
