Finally a quality tire
First of all in my everyday commute these tires are more than up to the task as they are much quieter than the OEM tires on my Subaru WRX Sti. They track beautifully and there is absolutely no wandering on the road with these babies. Just standing still they have a presence of awesomeness with the checkered flag so neatly placed on the sidewall. Yes these truly deserve the word "Super" in front of them and so many products dont these days. Thank you Michelin for your hard work and focus to deliver a tire that is truly jawdropping in performance. I will 100% with out a doubt purchase these again!
at last michelins!
I am a true fan of michelin and always use on my high performance vehicle as well as sedan and SUV. The OEM's on my car were subpar. I could not wait to pul them off with full tread for the best of the best.
Best street tires on my Audi
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)
Excellent Tire for C6 Z06 Corvette
Great dry grip, excellent rain handling, GRADUAL breakaway cornering, braking is controlled, better cold weather grip. Before the Super Sports the rear would instantly break loose, not now I can even use some throttle. Honestly Michelin just makes a better all around high performance tire. I have 7 months of driving, 5000 city and 3000 highway for a total of 8000 miles on them. There's still over half the tread on the rears, that's good if your not familiar. I've owned the F1-GS, GS-D3; Supercar, G2; Pilot PS, PS2, and Super Sport. Supercar, G2, and Super sport on Z06 only. It would be surprising if you regretted buying these.
Super Great Tires
I am extremely glad that I read other people's reviews before I bought a set of tires. Michelin Pilot Super Sport came on top on many websites by consumers, so I decided to give them a try. The best way to notice the difference is to have a set of cheap tires on your car and replace them with premium set like these. Exactly what happened to me. EVERYTHING improved, from handling to braking to cornering. But what really impressed me was how sticky they are, never had a thought that I could lose control of the vehicle in any corner (no matter how fast). They are a bit nosier but hey... you can't have everything. I love my new set of Michelins and would definitely buy another set.
Bought Again!
So ... the handling is superb & the wear factor is far-and-above what I'd expect for a tire like this. So ... what else can I say about these tires? How about ... I didn't hesitate when it became time buy another set! 'Bout says it all!!
Perfect Performance Dailt Driver Tire
Have the Super Sports now on two cars, 02 M5 and M Coupe. Recently completed a 5k round trip in the coupe to Laguna Seca and back to Texas. Super Sports are excellent highway tire and perform extremely well on the track. Very responsive and progressive and predictable. Heat stable. So far noise is minimal. If the mileage lives up to the rating i will have found the perfect tires.
Nice product
Tires are quiet and comfortable even in low profile. Handling is good. Only concern is it may make your alignment little tricky.
An adequate performance street tire
I bought these for my 2010 Corvette Grand Sport as an everyday street tire. I would never use these for a track tire, but they do well enough for spirited driving in both wet and dry road conditions.
Excellent Product
These tires are on my 2014 Corvette. So far the ride and noise level are very good. The tires were designed for this particular vehicle and the handling is excellent.
