Michelin Pilot Super Sport - User reviews

I have had two sets of these tyres. Neither has lasted more than 12,000 miles (19, 200km) on the front axle. I drive in town and on motorways, so they don't meet abnormal challenges. Since buying the tyres I am reviewing, I have had to change again and have moved away from these tyres. They preform well in other respects but not so well that their appalling economy can be overlooked.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports are simply the best tyres I ever put on my M3, the others being Continentals (useless), Bridgestone Potenza (pretty good) The Michelle Super Sports are a step up in grip, wear & noise. The M3 has now sadly gone but my RS4 will be getting a set of Super Sports when the current Michelin Pilots get replaced.

After trying a few different brands, from pirelli, to continentals, to bridgestone. I found these tyres. The grip is amazing, and I feel really safe, even when driving at higher speeds, knowing it will hug the road as i go round a corner. I definitely recommend these tyres for both wet and dry.

When setting up 508 took a chance 18tki and extreme tires mounted on top sports cars. 163 ponies in kombiaku of this mass are not capable of verifying the limit of adherence to start and accelerate - the engine does not keep pace with SuperSport'ami. Therefore, I can only comment about keeping the side and braking. As for the latter it is better to keep an eye on everyone wear a seat belts;). As far as the grip in the turns and long downhill is a lot of fun. Many a "master line" was surprised when he toured the barn;). Not only that the limits of adhesion are moved really far, it is when they are exceeded, there is no nervousness and extremely delicate and easily perceptible skid warns that further no longer possible. It is worth mentioning that I was afraid that 18kach with such tires, it will be a wagon - and here surprise, comfort suppression of inequality is still very decent. As for me, it's quiet and tire wear not yet in sight. I could not wait spring tire change! Now again there is a banana!

Best tire on which I rode, basically in all conditions doing well. High rigidity of the tire side, but at the same time provides a pretty good comfort. Compared to my previous Bridgestone'ów a completely different level of driving.

Tires have unbelievable grip for road tires, both on dry and wet. For this moderate tire wear and a pretty good comfort. The only minor minusik a bit too high volume (Conti similar size seemed a bit quieter).

Very good adhesion. Engine Tuning - about 300hp and yet it's hard to break the grip. Holds great cornering.

Much better than other brands used. Other premium tyres have suffered with lack of grip and feel or even failures. So far, perfect and on my second set.

I have fitted Michelin Pilot Super Sport on my Lambo Gallardo Convertible Sport Series. I have to admitt that this are the best tyres, which I've ever had. Great grip on every surface. Perfect tyres for English roads. I fully recommend them.
