Pricey, but well worth it
Definitely the bang for buck performance tires that you must have on your sports car. Stop your search here and look no further. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.
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 Holding in all conditions
Have a set on my BMW 330 ci convertible. Love the way they handle on this car! Great holding in all weather conditions.
Outstanding Pilot Super Sports !
I custom - ordered my E92 BMW 335ix new in 2008 to get it equipped as I wanted, then had it upgraded with Dinan parts. The one thing I could not get around was the factory run-flat tires. At 30,000 miles, I replaced them with non- run-flats, and liked them, but one of the tires wore pre-maturely, and the manufacturer wouldn't adjust it. I knew what to do. I purchased a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports, which I had avoided earlier in an attempt to save a bit of money. After approximately 3,000 miles I wish I bought the Super Sports last time. They "Contact" the highway better, they are silent and absolutely smooth. From past years of Michelin ownership, I know if I have a problem, the company will stand behind their products.
I will buy the same tire again
I put the Pilot Super Sports on my 2007 Porsche 911S and they are the best tire I have ever used. The car sticks to the road on wet or dry pavement. The best hands down.
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.
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.
350z
Used these to replace the stock tires that came on my 350Z. Noticed immediately that I had more confidence in driving the car over the other tires. Definitely recommend to anyone to buy these tires.
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.
