Great Tires!!!
I'm very happy with my super sports. I have a 2007 Porsche GT3 that I drive on the street as well as the track and these tires do an exceptional job at both. They are much quieter that the RE-11's that I had on the car before the PSS's. The grip is more consistent on track days even if it's hot out. I've only had them on the car for a few months but I'm expecting them to last much longer than any other tire worth putting on the car so it's a win-win! Buy with confidence!
Look versus feel, new Pilot Super Sports
I recently purchased a set of Pilot Super Sports 245/40 ZR17 on the back and 225/45s in the front, for my 10 year old CLK 430 AMG convertible. I only have 28,000 miles on this car and I really liked the original equipment tires which were the Pilot Sport model, recently discontinued. I really liked the look of that old tread pattern and recall the tires felt great at higher speeds. So I was concerned about how the new super sport tires would feel, and looked. After a recent trip to Boston, about 4+ hours each way at highway speeds, the new tires felt great on the road. We had rain at one point for over an hour, and I felt just fine. The Super Sports have a deeper channel for throwing off the rain, so at higher speeds I felt more comfortable than I recall feeling when running the old tires in the rain at highway speeds. The old model tires certainly had a lower profile for rain. On the new tires in the rain, I did not have any instances of slippage or instability at any point in time, particularly when taking the entrance and exit ramps from the highway at reasonable speeds. I also have not noticed any unusual wear on the new tires after about 2,000 miles of usage. However, I do miss the more aggressive tread pattern on the old tires and how they looked on this particular sports car. MB.
excellent tires for a sports car !
These are excellent tires, they handle great, ride smooth, even in a two seat sports car and their durability is very good. I own three automobile's and have Michelin tires on each one.

Jetta TDI drives like a Vette

Review Michelin pilot super sports
Have put just under 1000 miles on this set of four Michelin Pilot Super sports tires under spirited driving conditions in my AMG Mercedes. Quiet, comfortable ride quality. No problems in the rain. Went up to 140 mph without difficulty. I hope that I get good life out of this set. If I can get 20K or better miles, I will be ecstatic.
Big improvement over OEM tires
30k miles on the PSS and still running strong. Improved both ride quality and handling over the OEM tires. Especially good at gripping sharp corners at high speed. Would buy again.
Now I know what all the buzz was about!
Lots of guys in the car club raved about these. Swapped out my OEM runflats at 20K and I cannot believe how much better the car handles- better grip on turns, quieter, no crashing over bumps and now the car handles as designed! 2011 BMW Z4
So far real good.
Great tires, i have had them for about 6 months and they are great. I drive hard on corners and the once in a while hard on brakes and always happy with the outcome. so far tire tread looks good for the way i drive. I would definitely recommend this tires to friends and family.
Grippy
On my daily driven 335i. Compared to stock run-flats these are amazing. Grip well. Life is averageish, could be better, but I don't want them to sacrifice performance either if it means increasing wear life.
