Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires
Part Number: MIC16289
I have driven every top performance tire out there over the past 20 years and the pilot super sport tires are hands down the best tire ever. I have a set of super sports on my Audi R8, when I push the turns very aggressively, I feel totally safe and confident at max G forces, not even a chirp from my pilot sports. I have rented several Audi R8's on the tracks in Vegas, and the R8's with pilot super sports were hands down far superior to all the other top brands for grip, handling, and braking. Keep you and your family safe, use Super pilot sports to avoid the craziness out there.
I had these PS2s on a BMW 525Ti, M package...I can't think of a better combination of performance and comfort. The Super Sports I have on my STI are fantastic: dry grip so high it's scary. But I do a lot of highway cruising. For me, the road noise and relatively hard ride of the Super Sports on long drives (500+ kms) is tiresome...I'll keep the Super Sports for track days, no way I'm giving them up. But for everyday driving, I've bought new wheels and I'm going to install a set of PS2s on them. I'm a loyal Michelin client, starting with XZX back in the day with my '67 Triumph Spitfire...nothing but Michelin for me.
Great tire for my car. The car comes with A/S tires and the handing was really limited by this. This car isn't driven in the winter so a A/S tire wasn't necessary. Changed the whole Dynamics of the handling for the better. I understand why Lexus puts a A/S on this model but if you really want to experience the capabilities of this car. Make the switch to Pilot Super Sports.
Michelin is by far THE best tires for a Mercedes C300. I couldn't wait to make a purchase to replace the subpar tires I had from the used car dealership. My Pilot Super Sports feel like riding on a cloud or walking in a pair of Cole Haan shoes. Nothing but the BEST! You can't go wrong with Michelin.
First off, I buy and have bought tires from other manufacturers, but I always come back to Michelins... They always have the most consistent wear patterns and dependable grip across all conditions. I use them on my motorcycles where they have literally saved my life and on all my vehicles, to trucks, and our two Tesla Model S'. This review is for the cars, which weigh in a a hulking 4825 and 4945 lbs a piece!!! The Michelin Pilot Super Sports shouldn't be able to carry that kind of load, but they do it easily. We use the power of the electric motors and the rear tires show the burden of that power, but it's not the tires fault. Love them!
Great summer tires - enjoying them fully! Incomparable traction to any I've owned so far.
Super Sports came standard on my 2017 BMW M3 (with competition package) I am soon updating my ECU etc with a Dinan ECU tuner, intake and Heat Exchanger. Traction will become a real issue, so I'm upping my rear 275s to Pilot Super Sport 305s. In spite of my present 507 HP the Michelins really grip the road. In tight corners I feel like I'm on rails.
These should be OEM on all BMW's with M Sport package.
My 2017 Chevy Ss Sport Sedan came with 245/40Y/19 in front and 275/35Y/19 rear [another mfr]. I wanted the widest, tallest, safest and stickiest performance sports tire I could fit (without inner fender contact) on my car. My car has yet to be listed by any tire manufacturer. Through trial and error I was able to outfit my Ss with 275/40ZR/19 [105Y] Pilot SS (front) and 295/35ZR/19 [104Y] Pilot SS (rear): No clearance problems whatsoever. (Next time 285/35's-front & 315/30's-rear?). Now my Ss front spoiler clears curbs, no longer slides in the turns and corners like a go cart. Thanks Michelin, for the best tire possible!
I love my Super Sports! Hope they come out with my size for the 4 S soon!
I have them on my 2005 BMW M3 and it's real joy in the long sweeping turns, keeps the car planted all the time. In the rain breaks traction only if I'm trying. The backside is the price I'm wondering when is the new rubber coming the 4s. I would like to have them like a track set
I do a lot of auto x, hill climbs, track days, & different events. Some of which require d.o.t. street tires only & I must say there is no better overall street tire than the P.S.S. Wet & dry grip from this tire is outstanding for a tire that lasts as long as these. All of my street legal toys run these tires, drive to the track, hot laps, drive home... My only complaint is that the P.S.4.S. will be making its debut soon & out of the 46 sizes listed I don't see many to fit most of my toys. Come on Michelin you're killing me
Got a set of these for my 02 Mustang GT Convertible and all I can say is,"SWEET"!!! I've ran different brands but,nothing I've used can come close to these bad boys. I'm wanting to run a 315/35/17 on the rear and was unable to find them in a Super Sport. Great tire,Michelin.
Changed the wheels and tires on my tuned 2015 Subaru Brz, I driven two summers about 30,000 km am smiled on every corner, rain or shine. I am probably replacing them with a new version I'm hearing about when I take her out of storage in April
Oh wow, these are very limited in size. Ok, well the Pilot is Michelin's premiere tire. Other than the cup series which will wear fast and probably not be as good in rain and standing water, this is it. The Pilot Super Sport is the difference in your car handling like the supercar it was built to be and some off-brand tire leaving you with an imprecise mini-van like handling. The Pilot has a firm grip that does not roll over under high g turns and inspired confidence as you enter into a turn at breakneck speed. The PIlot Super Sport handles rain with aplomb as well, as long as you don't let them wear too far down.
Purchased these for my Charger SRT8 last year. These are by far the best performance tires I have ever owned! These are summer tires only, I would not recommend these in winter conditions. These tires are very predictable at the limit and great in wet and dry conditions. I will purchase again.
I have these on my 2014 corvette. It's a vette! I'm Canadian and the winters are cold. The tires are by far the best. Not so much spring and fall. They cannot survive the cold. I'm looking into the as3+. I hope they are as good as these super sports.
This is an excellent tire, and I am sure that the forthcoming 4S will be even better, but certain fitments have been unavailable for 12-18 months, with occasional availability nationally of a few sets every so often ... in particular the 305/30-20 ... No matter how great your product is, its academic if the market cannot purchase your product...
I work at a tier one dealership and work with PSS as well as their two direct competitor tires and the PSS always perform better. Better grip, less road noise, and best ride quality. They also tend to have the best QC with the least amount of defects compared to the other two competitive tires. A++
These tires came on my 2014 corvette. They gave me 24K miles of greatness. I had an alignment issue or I could have run them a few thousand more. Great handling even in heavy rain. Ordered replacement set this morning!
