Great tyres, grip, low noise, get sticky when hot, great for performance
Simply The Best!
Superb grip in all weather conditions.
Good summer tyre
Pretty poor performance in the wet on a winters day in the UK, however in summer they are fantastic.
Superb performance, confidence in grip both in the wet and dry
Just replaced the BMW* OEM Pilot SuperSports with a brand new set. I have just purchased a 2017 M240i with 13k miles on the clock, amazingly the original tyres still had between 5mm and 6mm on each tyre. The date on the tyres were 24th week of 2017 which is why I changed the tyres with so much tread still left! One tyre had started to have small cracking on the outside edge too from I presume being parked up with loss of pressure and sun damage. The first set of 5 year old rubber gripped the road like nothing I'd experienced before, I have an open diff not the LSD. The car would, I would best describe as start squirming up to speed switching the power between each wheel but without loss of traction or the dash traction control light flashing up. Even in the wet it would put the power down without loss of traction and at a rapid pace, stupid inputs would obviously lose traction. I'm still wearing the new set in, however I do feel the difference when cornering. The old set had a rounding off on the outside which are traits of Michelin Performance tyres due to the softer compound on the outside edge so felt a massive change in the cars eagerness to turn and give me confidence to carry more speed if I wanted to. The only other tyre to give me that trust in the ability of the tyre was a set of Toyo Proxies on my Honda CRX SiR back in 2002. The front tyres however only lasted me 3 months being such a soft compound and even though the tyre tread pattern looked like it could clear water quickly and away from the road, they were awful in the wet. Potentially the Pilot Sport 4 tyres maybe a better choice of tyre as the PS4s aren't available on the M240i 18" standard alloys, the PS4 tyre is better in the wet and can't remember but maybe less resistance too so savings on fuel. They however don't have the Twaron composite material to keep from bulging in the centre keeping the tyre flat and improving contact at high speed. I'm going to do some track days so this is why I chose the SuperSports over the PS4 tyres.
excellent for the price
Love these tyres, great feedback if avoid the runflats. The grip in summer is alotof fun would definitely recommend over the pirrellies or Bridgestone equivalents. Running on a m240i.
Michelin PSS tyres
Fitted to my tuned Golf R and the grip in amazing in any weather The corners are taken in complete confidence and rain grip is better than any other tyre I had used
Superb tyre!
Got them as standard on my Ford Focus RS; they've done 32K kms so far, including a track day, and many kilometres of spirited driving, and still have at least 40% tread left - unbelievable. Superb grip in the dry and wet! Noisy on coarse bitumen, by very quiet on hotmix. Highly recommended :)
Side wall cracking PSS
I have a BMW m140i and 2 sets pilot super sports have shown side wall cracking. The tyres after a few years look like they are very old. Not happy at all. These tyres are great for 6 months and then they go plastic. Steer clear of this tyre.
Best for BMW 7 SERIES
I noticed huge difference after I've chosen this over the "recommended" pirelli Pzero for my BMW 750il, i wished I new before, since I bought this car 2018 I changed 2 sets of Pirelli, maybe they are good for another kind of cars but definitely not 7 series.
Michelin Super Sport tyre wear.
I own a Holden Astra 2017 VXR, which the Super Sport tyres come with the VXR Package.I purchased the car brand new. I was told after having it last serviced that the Super Sports need replacing, Surely this is not the maximum amount of kilometers that are rated to expectation. I have not ever raced the VXR and all driving has been done in the country City Toowoomba. Anyway why i am querying this is because my Holden Astra VXR has only just done 11,000 klms. .
