Best Tire For Corvette Z06
I drive a 2007 Corvette Z06 , 600 HP at rear wheels . Michelin Super Sport tires keep me on the streets . I live in Florida , rain and hot weather . I drive hard . These tires handle great in the turns , very good braking , good tire wear after 13,000 miles . I will buy Michelin Tires for all my cars . Thanks Michelin , Good job!
Far superior to the old tires!
We chose the Pilot Super Sport tires based on the sales reps recommendation and our good experience with Michelin's in the past. The original tires on our 2012 G37 were very noisy, rough riding and pulled left or right with steering wheel input. The new Super Sports are extremely quiet and smooth riding (for a high performance tire) and have exceptional grip! While these tires are new, we are confident that we will enjoy them.
Great tire for the Acura TL
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.

Excellent
I am EXTREMELY impressed by both the wet and dry capabilities of this tire. So far I have run out of courage before I have run out of grip.
Excellent
Had this put on my 2010 Corvette Grand Sport and man what a difference! The original tires were the worst tires I have ever owned in that whenever they hit an imperfection, or a grove in the road, it would slam you to that side. With these tires the car feels like a completely different car, great ride and no pulling to one side or the other. I was going to sale my car but now I'm keeping it!
Great tire for a CTS-V
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.
Road huggers
I put four new super sports on my audi S5 and they are awesome. They were not the cheapest or the most expensive option but I very content with my purchase. They really grip the road have outstanding traction rain or shine. My car seems to like them as well. I have no issues in the first 6 months of driving on them.
Great tire besides comfort
Expected more but a great tire in the dry and wet. I am amazed at how well it does with both. The comfort is way below the rating Michelin gives in my opinion. It has been the most harsh tire I have had so far comparing to other summer sport tires in its class. Besides the comfort level everything is amazing and also the tread life compared to others in its class, seems to last around 50% longer than tires that are just as good performers in the dry.

Great performance, appearance, and ease of installation.
Be a Hero
This is the very best street tire ever made. Wet or dry, there is no street tire which sticks better, is more perfectly round, or wears more evenly. Do not expect 30k miles: I get about 15k miles. I do not do burnouts or other silly things. I am a racer, and an instructor of road racing and high performance driving, and have done these things for many decades. I'm also a certified master tech...and I know tires VERY well. Once you've driven on these tires, you really can't bring yourself to buy anything less....I am on my fifth set, and the only time I take them off my car is when winter comes. Exactly as advertised, these tires will bring you to a dead stop if you try using them in the snow. But they'll make you a hero in the wet or dry!
