Across 133 reviews, the Michelin Pilot Super Sport is widely praised as a top-tier summer UHP tyre with exceptional dry grip, sharp steering feel, and strong high-speed stability, often transforming cars compared with OEM fitments. Many drivers also report surprisingly capable wet performance for a summer tyre and very good tread life when aligned and used in suitable temperatures. The most consistent drawbacks are increased road noise and a noticeable drop in traction/feel in cold and damp conditions, making it less ideal for UK/Scandinavian climates. Price is also commonly noted as high, though many feel the performance justifies it.

Vast grip in the dry and in the wet. Only negative would be they seem to be slightly snappier on the limit than the tyres fitted previously (stock Bridgestone Runflats). Still have over 3mm after more than 30,000 miles of mixed driving. Will not consider any other tyre when they get replaced!

The best tyre on the market. Comfortable, quiet, long lasting, grip like no other tyre and have big rim protection. No wheelspin when setting off either. Simply brilliant. Tried conti 5p and goodyear eagles on the car and these blow them all away. Our audi a5 loves them. Nuff said
Had all four tyres replaced with the Michelin on my 2011 M3 after it came new with P Zero. The P Zero only managed 15,000 miles on the rear, these Michelin PSS are still going and coming upto the wear bands on the rear at 23,100 miles. Far Superior in all conditions
I bought this tire based on the critics and reviews I red in this site. Many thanks to everyone because its true! I changed to this from contis and the difference is huge! Perfect grip and braking even in the wet! I wasnt aware of my cars possibilities before this tire and I am very satisfied. Dont know much about the wear because I have put them on three months now but they dont seem to wear easy. I suggest this tire to everyone. Give it a try and be sure that it will meet your expectations!
I run these on the back of my RS, having swapped some ageing Pilot Sport Two's for them. I have no complaints in how this tyre performs, they feel very sticky and give quite a comfortable ride.
After much thought I decided to go with these tyres (yes I know there a bigger profile than standard tyres). But as I was changing all four tyres I didn't see a problem. I read up on this tyre and saw some really great reviews about them. My car is Only driven hard in the summer months and only really use it if I have to in winter to potter around. However in the time that I have had these (since September) They have been fantastic. Far better feedback than the continentals it came with and have given me so much more confidence when driving spiritedly over the moors through the twisities. They are showing no signs of wear so far. I believe these are the newer version of the ps2 which also lasted for 26k miles on my dad's Audi. They are also a far better ride than the 35 profile tyres which was part of my reason for choosing them. The only thing I can think of that isn't really an issue is that in cold weather (below 2c) they tend to jump on fall lock, i.e. when parking the car as they are cold I guess. But this has never off put me as I don't drive hard when the weather doesn't permit. Will definitely be replacing them with these again!
Changed to these from Pirelli PZero's. The difference is night & day. So much more confidence in the wet and practically eliminated understeer in the wet which speaks volumes when putting 300hp through the front wheels. Got a great deal from Formula 1 who beat every other tyre price, just don't let them do your wheel alignment.
Theese tires have amazing grip in dry especially in the corners and i try them in greek roads which they are not very good. I didnt try them in wet yet. They are not noisy and they are comfortabe in a good point for 18 in. For sure i will by them again! Please do not by Toyo t1r and danlop sport maxx especially the second is awful!!
