Best Handling Tire Ever
Just outfitted my A4 Cabriolet with these Pilot Super Sports. Handling jumps out already as tops in its class. Exceeds my expectations.
Takes my GS to a new level
Just replaced the OEM tires on my 2011 Corvette Grand Sport with the Michelin PSS. I can't believe it's the same car. The ride is so much smoother and quieter. I do a lot of driving on rural roads mixed in with Interstate highways. I enjoy pushing the car to it's legal limits and look forward to some track days. The grip of these Super Sports is unlike anything I have experienced in the 3 Corvettes I have owned. The GS is known for a "scuffing" sound and feel at start up speed with the wheels turned. I was resigned to this. It has disappeared with the PSS tires. Simply amazing! Should have made this move a long time ago. Now I need to get more than 16,000 miles on the set as that is what the OEM tires have given me.
excellent tires.
I have these tires on my 84 Corvette. I am very pleased with their wet and dry weather handeling. I drive on freeways and two lane mountain roads and am very pleased in their cornering, braking, and high speed performance.
Amazing
I had some older Michelin Sport PS2's on my 2005 M3. The Pilot Super Sports are impressive to say the least. I am actually going to miss having less traction and being able to get a litlle crazy easier. I have yet to push these tires to the limit becuase it is so much farther than my older Michelin's. I am very excited to try them out on a track. These tires are an excellent addition to an excellent car.
The All New Mitchelin Performance Tires
With all the new vehicles being made in the next 10 years Mitchelin tires should be on all of them as a stock tire to make total performance for the best in all the newer vehicles. I love Michelin tires & always have. I use Michelin all season radial tires on my old pick up truck, they do not make noise as I drive down the road, I should use them on my 98 Corvette Coupe, unfortunately, right now being retired from the mechanical work force/repair shops that I once owned, I bought my 98 Corvette with another brand name of performance tires, not as great as Michelin, but good, too! Keep up the great work Michelin maybe one day I will be back in the mechanical repair shop promoting Michelin Tires once again to my customers for all their sports cars?
Best tire made since the original X
I have only ever bought Michelin because they usually are OEM equipment but mostly, I have the utmost confidence in the company. I own over 15 Vintage Lincolns all with their original Michelin X or XA radials. They still do not even look like they have been driven on. Now, these New Super Sports not only are lasting but look good, handle like a dream and ride like I'm on a cloud. Two of the tires didnt even require any weights. The other two only took 1/4 oz. Ive never had a car that had a perfect balance and Ive had over 100 cars in my lifetime. These are the finest tires since the original X which came on the 68 1/2 Lincoln Mark III. These make my car ride like IM on a cloud. I wouldnt have any other tire. The only thing is they should be about 340 tread wear to keep up with the Contientals but other than that. No complaints here!!! These are leaps and bounds ahead of the original Pilots. Those are the WORST wearing tires EVER. I made the dealership change them 3 times. I finally gave up and bought the Super Sports. Best thing I ever did. Don't try and save a few dollars and buy anything but these tires. That is if your application calls for Utra Ultra High Performance tires. My CL 600 which is a bi-Turbo V 12 and has a 25k suspension is very finicky about what it rides on and this tire can handle what ever is thrown its way. Congradulations Michelin!
It is the thing
I have a 1000 mile on the pilot super sport installed on my infiniti G35 Coupe and it is a fun experience. The grip is phenomenal and the handeling is superb. I just want to verify if they will last 2x as there compatertor, if this the case...then i found my tire brand.
Michlen Pilot Super Sport - SRT4
Purchased a set of four Pilot Super Sport tires for my 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4. WOW! What great ride and my SRT-4 handles better. These tires really grip the road. They where also priced better and came with a 30,000 mile warranty. Love them!
Transforms good into wow
Got a new 2011 Audi A4 loaded. The car handled ok until the sidewall blew out on 1 tire at 6k miles. Researched 245/40 R 18 fitments and saw the rave reviews about the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tireline. Bought the tires and they transformed the ride, which was already good. As the ratings show some comfort is lost but handling particularly into corners is top notch. The first thing you notice after driving a few miles is that the tires are warm and become very sticky and picked up grit off my driveway. I was already feeling like an F1 driver! If I wanted to wander up and down the freeway all day then the 30k warrantly might scare you off but as I do 10k miles a year I wanted to get everything out of the car as these tires allow me to do that.
Superb tires
When I bought my BMW 330i new in 04, it came with Pilot Sports. I loved that set of tires and went thru probably three sets with no real problems, aside from some noise issues. Never even had to have a re-balance thru their life. The last set of Sports, though, developed some issues after about 3k miles. Balance problems, stability problems. Incredibly enough, Michelin stepped up to the plate and REPLACED them free of charge with the Super Sport and, man, are these things good. They are even stickier than the originals, and with better ride quality to boot! Not only were the new set of tires provided at no charge, they even paid for installation. This is what customer service should be like (BMW could learn a HUGE lesson here)
