Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/40R20 99 Y Tire

Great great tires. Bought these 1 year ago because prior set worked so well and got great mileage I bought them again.

I bought Pilot Super Sport 255/40/R19 tires 7 years ago, but I do not use my car much in a summer. For 7 years I made exactly 35,000 KM (about 22K Miles). Over the weekend, replaced my wheels to Winter set and discovered my Pilot Super Sport has significant issue. The thread started to separate. All tires have very extensive wear on the inside edge of the tire (about 2 cm edge) and the rest of the threads is very good. It appeared to me the design issue. Looks like Audi A8 is pretty heavy for those tires, and yet, Pilot Super Sport has the right load index. My winter tires are already 55K KM with identical wear on all threads! Other than that, tires hold the road good! Only this year I could feed slight vibration. Now I know why.

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.

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.
