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.
Pilot Super Sport 17"
I have the 225/45 and 245/40 R17 on my CLK 500, tires are quiet and smooth as can be. Best tire I've purchased by far. Wet traction is excellent also. If you have a higher-powered street car I highly recommend these.
Best bang for the Buck!
I have the Pilot Super Sports on a 5 series BMW with sport suspension and 18" rims. They are fabulous. The car handles like it is on rails. The great added news is the SS tires are great in the rain as well. I have been running Michelin tires for years on all of my vehicles and even though they may initially cost a little more, they are well worth the money!
Wow!
I bought these tires to replace the OEM "performance" tires my Audi S4 was equipped originally. Much, much better than OEM Summer tires. Handles better, grips better in dry or wet weather. Much more precise turn in. I have no complaints at all. I just wonder how long they will last.
Great Tire
Plus: quiet, compliant ride, excellent handling and braking in both dry and wet conditions. Minimal wear with 8000 miles on tire set. Negitive: muted thumping sound at speeds above 45mph. Suspect it is not due to the tire as I had this on my previous set of tires. (balancing and alignment were within normal limits) so I suspect it is the suspension geometry.
Mercedes S550 Sport
These came standard on my MB S550 Sport and wow what a solid sticky tire this is. It sticks the car to the road no matter what and it gives me the confidence of throwing the car into curves at high speeds and not worrying about loss of control at any time. Will definitely replace these tires with the same.
Mercedes-Benz AMG
Last year, I replaced the OEM tires on my Mercedes-Benz AMG with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I use the car mainly on the highway for long trips and seek out winding mountain roads. With the Super Sports, the turn-in is better, corning grip is better, they are as quiet or quieter, the ride is better and they have lasted 40% longer with the same kind of use. Plus, they are less expensive than the OEM brand. Great tires and excellent value!
Great Tire!!
Great grip and treadware compared to the PS2. Glad I upgraded.
Tires deliver performance & durability
I had my Lexus GS tires replaced in 2012 per dealer's maintenance recommendation. Ever since then, I can feel noticeable change maneuverability: The more precise angle, the stability on muddy and rainy roads. With the new set of Pilot Super Sport tires, driving my Lexus becomes an unforgettable experience!
