Pilot Super Sport TIRE REVIEW

Horrible tread life

I bought these tires for my corvette (rears) in 2021 end of April. Come November this year around 3000 miles later they are at 1/32 tread left. Unbelievable! Discount tire refused to service a tire leak because of this... I expect fast wear like this on cup 2's not the supersports! I was hoping for at least 15,000 miles out of them. Originally I wanted all season tires but they were out of stock and this was when the michelin tire plant shut down due to covid. Once they started back up again there was no all season tires yet. And I needed tires desperately since the wires were showing. So it was either supersports or cup 2's. The cups were out of the question. In the wet they are okay. Cold weather is not recommended as tires my crack below 20°F and traction is bad! In the summer though amazing performance and grip! She would hook and go no drama! I never did burnouts since I know the price of new tires for these cars! Now I'm looking into a set of all season 4 tires. Hopefully they last at least 4 times longer than the supersports at 3k miles since the rubber should be a bit harder on all seasons. I just don't justify buying new tires every year.... If you drive you're corvette 1,000 miles a year these tires are the way to go! If you drive +3000 miles a year, then stay away from these. My average milage is 3000 miles a year.

Very good. A little slippery in cold winter conditions, but the best tyres for summer performance driving

Nice Shoes for Nice Cars.

On my 911's and AMGs, the rears will only get 10k as a daily driver. The Fronts will make 17-20k. My bill for all roughly $1.8k. I look at tires like shoes, I only wear nice ones and you never go cheap with your rig. I tried saving money once and the high speed Lane changes and sway from other tires isn't worth the price. These PSS hold and are reliable. If you have the money, go with the Best...

Very reassuring to have them

Good tires

There is not much noise from the tires at all speed look good on the corvette. I am pleased with the tires.

Tires wore out too quickly

If you own a c7 z06 I don't recommend these tires if you use your car as a daily like me. I bought mine last year in April new at 11k miles on my odometer. I'm currently at 14k miles and rear tires are at 1/32 left of tread fronts are at 3/32.... No I don't do burnouts these tires are expensive. And that's not the only thing anything below 70°F good luck with traction. It will not hook properly until you're over 100 mph. At that speed it is a one way ticket to jail. During the summer months these are amazing tires! You will hook in first gear no problem! Even then you still must drive around and warm up the tires. I was looking into an all season tire at the time but I couldn't wait as the rear tires were showing the wires already. This was during the pandemic when tire production shut down so when they started making tires again the only options were the pilot super sports or the cup 2 which was out of the picture. These tires are ment to last around 30,000 miles and only got 3000 miles out of them. That's like 10%... Not cool.

Only purchased a replacement, same tyre, as already on the vehicle due to sidewall damage. The tyre is performing as expected so no issues.

Handles well in wet and dry conditions.

Fantastic Tyres to have on this type of car, excellent grip all round
