PIOLOT SUPER SPORT...WOW!
I have a 2003 BMW 530I w/ sport M suspension. As soon as I installed Michelin Super Sports my car evolved to the next level. They are very smooth riding and quiet yet are great for aggressive handling. So far, minimal/very good wear. I would buy again.
Simply Great Tires!
In a few words these are the best hi performance tires I've owned. Very sticky, with great feedback and good bump absorption. Good handling also on wet. Noise is minimal.Thread wear is good also. The only drawback I see so far is higher fuel consumption and the fact that they are very slippery out of the box, so be careful during break in period. If you are looking for performance summer tires don't hesitate. You can't go wrong with Michelin Supersports!
Terrible Tred Wear
I normally put about 7,000 miles a year on this car. Mostly driven on short trips. Last year drove across country, about 7300 miles. The car handles well, but the wear factor is awful. After less than12,000 I am almost down to the wear bar. Needless to say I am looking for another brand of tire that will give longer tred wear.
Excellent upgrade for my BMW
I replaced mis-matched tires on my 2004 BMW 330ci with sports package and 18" wheel upgrades. They are much quieter and smoother, handling and grip are excellent. They have really upgraded the feel and performance of the car. It took me a couple of days to get used to the difference but now I would not do any other tire.
Best tires, I would buy this tires again
These 235/40ZR-18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport XL tires are on my 2007 Audi A4 3.2 Sports Line and they are GREAT!!! These tires have better traction, rides smoother and quieter than before. Most of all, they made the car feel much better, leading to greater confidence when cornering and braking and thus, overall safety. I would certainly recommend these tires to my family members and friends. One should never compromise on brakes and tires and this is a good example of me buying these excellent tires for summer driving. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance of these tires.
Great Tire
Use this for every day usage 40+ miles per day, mostly highway. No problems yet. Excellent performance in dry weather.
Good Traction
I have these Super Sports on my 2004 Honda S2000 and I'm very happy with them. Immediately I noticed how much quieter they are. The second thing I noticed is that this high performance summer tire does really well in the rain. I don't really push my S2K to the limit but for my daily driving these tires seam to have plenty of grip when I take spirited corners. I've only had these tires for three months and have not driven on them in the cold weather yet but I suspect they will perform fine. Another fine product by Michelin.
Amazing tires.
I bought these to be my 3-season tire for my 2006 Audi A4 Avant. After 25,000 miles and life still to go, I cannot fathom how sticky these tires were. I say "were" because I got a nail in the sidewall last week and couldn't find a replacement set quick enough. Road feel is exceptional with these tires. Incredibly communicative. The grip is nothing short of exceptional. I could turn hard enough at autocross events to lift both my inside tires if I wasn't careful. Compared to the PS2, these really need some heat in them to perform optimally. I also think their hydroplane resistance is not as good as a normal PS2. By no means is it bad, but driving back to back you can tell a difference. With that said, these things grip sooooo much better in the dry than my PS2's ever did.
AMAZING HANDLING, VERY QUIET!
AMAZING TIRE! GREAT ALL AROUND, HANDLING, DRY, AND WET TRACTION, WILL USE AGAIN!
Excellent Street Tire!!!
Aggressive Street Driving/Autocross Excellent Street grip in either dry or wet conditions, wear rate is also great. Only problem I had with the tires is that they did not match my demands of them in autocross, about 1 second off the pace compared to other cars running the extreme performance category tires, since these are only max performance I give them the benefit of the doubt. Love these as street tires though.
