Wow!! What a tire!!!
Just purchased for my 2002 Lexus IS 300 and love how quiet They are the best since I have owned this car. The handling Is outstanding and would definitely recommend this tire For a great low profile high rated tire. So far so good!
Great tires!
I use my Pilot Super Sports for spirited driving (mostly in the city) with my Honda Civic Si. The tires have great grip, they're excellent in the rain, and the treadwear is great so far!
Love the Super Sport
I bought these tires for my 2009 Infiniti G37S convertible and they are excellent in dry and wet weather and quieter then the last set despite the comments found online.
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.
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.
Best sports tire yet
I previously went through a set of Pilot Sport PS2's on my 2001 BMW 330ci convertible. Those were great tires that were quiet and cornered hard without squeal, but only lasted about 2 years and about 25,000 miles. The new Pilot Super Sports which I put on this past November were as quiet as the PS2's and even slightly better on cornering. With the longer rated tread life at about the same price as the Ps2's they are good evolution of the model. It's not a cheap tire, but it's definitely superior to any other I've had on this car.
Best tire on the market
The Michelin Pilot Super Sports were purchased to replace my factory PS2s on my IS F. I upsized the tires, and they have such great grip. Taking corners at higher speeds is no trouble. I had a chance to test these out in wet conditions as well. Braking was superb and provided excellent stopping power, much more than the PS2s. For the price, these are as great as a car owner can get. Above and beyond performance, great handling, and can stop on a dime unlike any of the other tires I've tested. My only concern will be tread life. This isn't my track car, but on a daily basis, it should see considerable wear and tear. Only the best for my F, though, and Michelin PSS is the way to go!
Pilot Super Sport on Honda S2000 AP2
Possibly the best overall tire for the S2000 AP2. These tires exhibit excellent steering response, tremendous cornering grip and an uncanny ability to change direction quickly in linked corners combined with very good ride quality which should satisfy any driving "enthusiast". Tire performance is quiet and essentially transparent under normal driving conditions although noticibly firm and well controlled when subjected to sharp bumps, so possibly not the ideal tire for the "non enthusiast". An excellent value in the max performance tire category, especially when considering this tire's high wear rating and nearly impeccable driving performance.
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.
longest tread life ever on a performance
as a performance car enthusiast, I always have high performance tires on my cars. after having chewed through a several sets of p-zero's, I switched to pilot super sports and have not looked back! better handling, braking & cornering and almost 50% more tread life. I just took delivery of a new SLS GTC and it came with pilot super sports as standard. I guess the boys in Affalterbach have finally discovered what I already knew!
