From OEM Runflats to Pilot Super Sports
I replaced the OEM Run Flats on My 2012 JCW Mini Coupe at the start of summer. All I can say is WOW. The car handled well before, but it could be stiff at times with the run flats. The soft nature of these Super Sports provide for excellent grip, enhanced handling and overall a more comfortable ride. Bumps are softer. Turns are sharper and the wear is fantastic. If you are a spirited driver, these are the tires for you. They are made to perform, and that they do.
Great tire for enthusiasts!
Mounted a set on my 997 when the factory PS2s had gotten a few punctures. These tires feel like they were designed with high performance cars in mind. Grip is great and the ride quality is also very good. I wouldn't hesitate to track these tires and yet I feel totally confident on the road even in the wet.
Pilot Super Sport - Grip - Guts - Glory
One of the best tires I have ever owned. The Super Sport summer tires gives me confidence on all road conditions. This tire has grip in wet or dry weather. The offer me full control when approaching sharp curves and rounding corners. My MB C300 Spot 4 Matic already handled well the Super Sport makes it even better. My tire installer told me when I got these tires that thy had "hops" in the front pair and I am not sure what that means. What is a "hop"? I just hope that these "hopped" tires don't translate into premature wear. The only thing I don't like about these tires is that I will have to take them off in the winter.
I love these tires
I bought a set of 4 Super Sports for my 2006 BMW 330i and I couldn't be happier. I swap them on every summer (set of PA3's for my winter set) and they never fail to be awesome. They have insane grip, great wet performance and didn't even hurt my fuel economy. Five stars all around!
Best Tire Ever!!!
One of best wet traction tires on the market. Feels like the roads are dry when it raining like crazy. Best handling tires on the market also. Makes the car handle like it's on rails. I recommend these tires for the best summer tires out there. BEST Choice EVER.
PSS
Spirited driving, I have not been to the track yet but the tires hold the road very well and the ride is nice as well. Its too early to say how well they wear. I have about 2000 miles on them. My only problem with them is that the installer had trouble putting them on my S2000 rims and scuffed up my rims .
Top Notch Performance Tire!
Before buying I did lots of research and it was nearly unanimous that the Michelin Pilot Super Sport is the absolute best wet and dry performance tires you can get for my car (Honda S2000). If you have a nice sports car that might see wet road conditions, this is the one for you.While a softer Extreme Summer Performance (ESP) tire is a bit better in dry conditions, this tire will give you superior wet grip. Plus, it'll have more life than an ESP tire. I've been very happy with this tire and hope they'll give me many miles of life.
80,000 miles on my Jeep Wrangler *****
Purchased the tires for my off road Jeep Wrangler & have not regretted it. Still tread, never a flat, and 80,000 miles in the state of Washington (now), but handled the Winters of Minot, ND ... speaks for itself! Thank you Michelin!
Sports car tires
I really like this tire because of the increased life Of the tread compound. The grip is extremely good with out sacraficing Tire life. I drive with great spirit,and these add to the already Excellent handling of my car
Best performing tire ever
I've had Michelin tires over many years, but this is my first experience with the Michelin Super Sport. Outstanding performance and feel. I was initially concerned about wet weather handling because the tread depth is not as deep as other Michelin tires I've had, but that concern was put to rest during the first storm I drove through. Super smooth and confident in wet and dry weather. The tire even gets a little sticky once they get hot and are driven hard, which results in fantastic handling, just like a true racing tire has. Given the super high performance category, it doesn't last as long as a regular family sedan tire does, but it's well worth the extra money and last longer than other brands in the same category!! So far, this is by far the best tire I've ever had and I've owned 23 cars in my life.
