poor wear
These tires only gave me 23,500 miles of service before the tread depth was less than safe. I have used only Michelin tires on all our cars for years and, except for these, have always given exceptional wear.

Very high performance tires

Smiles for Mountain Miles
After 2 years and 20k miles, the Super Sports remain my favorite tire ever. I lean on these tires as hard as I dare for as long as I want and they as predictable hot as they are cold. Turn in was so much better than OEM that I would have clipped a curb if not paying attention when they were first installed. They are exceptional in daily driving too but they tramline a tiny bit on certain concrete road surfaces. They just dig holes in loose sand and are worthless in snow but that’s not what these are about. They’re exceptionally good in wet and way better than expected in cold dry conditions. Oversteer is so controlled, predictable and manageable with these tires that they just invite spirited driving on unpopulated mountain roads!

Outstanding handling and performance
I run the Super Sport on a 2018 BMW M6, and I wouldn't consider any other tire for that vehicle. I've tried Firestone, Continental and Hancook, and none of them handled nearly as well as the Michelin. The rubber is soft so you don't get great mileage out of them, but if you're buying a tires for that reason get a Honda. The BMW is all about performance, and this the tire that will handle the best.

Performance tire best dollar per smile you can get
Love these tires! I have a very aggressive alignment but i track the vehicle, these bad boys are like being on rails! The only thing i’m bummed out about is they aren’t available through my vendors like ATD.
Michelin Pilot Super Sport Warranties
OE [Vehicle Manufacturer] Sidewall Marking: K# = Ferrari, MO= Mercedes-Benz, N# = Porsche, TPC = GM, * = BMW
OE Code [Original Equipment Key]: BMW = BMW, FER = Ferrari, MB = Mercedes-Benz, GM = General Motors, CAD = Cadillac, FOR = Ford, POR = Porsche, LEX = Lexus
# The Load and Speed Index data are not shown on the tire sidewall and are provided for information only purposes
XL = Extra Load
>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160mph (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
Y-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) | 118 | 124 | 130 | 136 | 143 | 149 | 155 | 161 | 168 | 174 | 180 | 186 |
Inflation Increase (psi) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1.5 | 3 | 4.5 | 6 | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 |
Load Capacity (% of max.) | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 95 | 90 | 85 |
For speeds above 186 mph (300 kph), consult your vehicle manufacturer and tire dealer.
