Disappointed with Michelin Sport 4 ZP tyres
I had 4 Michelin Sport 4 ZP tyres fitted around 2000 miles ago to my BMW 520D and had the tracking checked and wheels balanced by BMW. There is a noticeable general vibration through the car at any speed above 70mph which has been verified by the BMW dealer but the car has been checked again and all is OK. Their opinion is that this is a characteristic of the tyre. Very disappointing..
Perfect fit with my M8 Comp Gran Coupe
I recently bought an M8 Competition Gran Coupe that comes with this tyre. I am very happy with their performance.
Not = no grip
Can't get the power down on a slightly modified 370Z. Corners with constant throttle has it slide with the traction kicking in. In my stock Ford Focus I can go fast around corners with standard passenger BStones
Dimensions incorrect.
I hadn't unpacked the 285/35 18 tyres when I noticed two points. Firstly the width of the drainage channels were much bigger than illustrations, huge in fact! 2x 20mm & 1x 25mm, not what I expected as I use these in dry conditions. I have PS4S currently fitted, these are 8mm wide! They are also same as Andrei's issue-310mm wide and 11" at the bead. I wont attempt to fit these to my 9.5 rims.
Excellent after 20,000 kms
Had Pilot Super Sports fitted to my Hyundai i30 SR 2017 model, size of 225/40x18. Improved the roadholding greatly, with excellent reduction in lap times at circuit sprint days. Quiet tyre for normal driving and after 20,000 kms are about half worn.
Tires were much bigger that they were suppose to be
Hello! A while ago I purchased a set of Super Sports for my SL55AMG. 255/35ZR19 (front) and 285/30ZR19 (rear). Unfortunately, the rear tires seemed to be the result of a massive production error as their were much wider that the tires they were replacing (same size) and would not fit the rim as they were supposed to (9.5j). The only rim which this tire sat correctly on was a Porsche 911 11j rim. After professional expertise was conducted, the conclusion was that the tire's real dimensions were 315/25ZR19. Several comparisons were made using 31 other tires in 285/30ZR19 size and none of those had such offset dimensions. In fact the width range for all these 31 tires was 278-294mm, while the faulty tire was 314mm wide (no rim protection). After speaking with mr Nicolas de Mahieu, Secretary General of ETRTO and after comparing data with official standard documentation, we reached the conclusion that, indeed, the tires were not within the standard tolerances. Unfortunately, this production error was very badly addressed by the local staff who intentionally did whatever they could to cover this thing up. Awful experiece with the tires, awful experience with the staff.
