2008 BMW M3
I originally acquired the car with a staggered setup and PS2 tires. I thought the PS2's were the bomb until I needed to replace them with Pilot Super Sports. Michelin keeps stepping up the bar on these high performance tires. Excelent ride handling and wet weather performance.
Huge Improvement in Ride and Handling
These tires replaced the original equipment summer tires on my 2004 S2000. The ride is much quieter, the grip is incredible in corners and the car feels smoother over road imperfections. The Michelins even grip better in the rain. I am very happy with the Michelins and recommend them highly.
The best high performance tires ever
From the first few moments driving on these new tires, I felt as if I was riding high up, on air, compared to my previous tires. The tires grip the road well, especially in rainy, slippery conditions. The tires help the car, an M3, to easily handle corners even at high speeds. I love the way the tires look and feel - and - they seem to be wearing evenly and I am told they will last much longer than other tires I have had before.
Worthy of performance cars everywhere.
Set for both my c6 corvette and bmw 335 coupe. They have acceptable grip and road noise levels. They look good and wear well despite being driven hard. Highly recommend.
My love these tires.
I know tires. I have used many sets of different brands of high performance tires through out the years, and I have to say, I am impressed. My 2008 BMW M3 has gone though 2 sets of PS2 and now on its third set of tires. I have heard great things about these Super Sports from other forum members. Since Ferrari have been using them on their most current models, I should give these tires a try on the BMW. The tires offers awesome traction, ride quality and durability. If you are looking to do performance upgrades for your car, just upgrading your current tires to the Super Sports will improve acceleration, handling and braking. I track the M3 as well and these are the best street tires without going to R-compounds.
Much better than OEM
I need replacements for my Cadillac CTS-V which eats tires. There are few good run-flat options that are also high-performance tires. I decided to go with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports after reading a lot of good reviews on them. So far performance wise they have been great, low noise, and very sticky in the dry. I don't drive this car in the winter snow, so I cannot comment on wet or cold weather performance. I haven't done a lot of mileage so I also cannot comment on wear, but after some "spirited" driving, they have held up well. I gave up on the run-flat option, and just carry a can of fix-a-flat in the trunk. The better ride is worth the trade-off. If they wear well, I would definitely buy these tires again.
Performance Tires for my Audi A4
I got these tires by mistake - Audi dealership, despite my request to get all season tires gave me these and tried to persuade me that these are just as safe in cold weather as all season tires. I did not think that is the case. I have to say during summer, they are great. The only things that bother me are when I am in my building's parking garage on concrete after it's rained, the tires make this annoying noise. Other than that, all good.
The only performance tire I'll ever buy
I bought the Pilot Super Sports as the 3rd set of tires for my heavily modified BMW 335i. These tires took my car to a whole different level of performance. Their grip on the dry land and especially on the wet roads are remarkable. My wife was a little skeptical about the additional price, but as soon as I took her out in my car and showed her how dependable and SAFE they are, she literally said to me, "I don't ever want you to buy another tire". The grip and performance are truly top notch and why every supercar and hypercar maker puts Michelins on their cars. These are the pinnacles, the best, second to none. And for them to be priced so that everyday guys like me can buy them, that's just remarkable. THANK YOU MICHELIN!!!!
Sticky in wet and dry-perfect tires
Use it for family safety in wet and dry Florida weather in a v-8 Genesis. Perfect performance in a performance tire. Use the same tires in my BMW M-3.
Great tires!
I have a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my 2005 BMW M3 and I love them. The car drives and corners like it's on rails, and stops like I threw out an anchor. Great product!
