Decent performance tyre

published

These are the standard tyres that came with my Lotus Evora 400. On the street they have massive roadholding but on the track they leave a lot to be desired, as they get "greasy" once they go above about 35psi.

With only 5000km on these tyres they still look near new, so the wear is excellent. Pirelli P Zero (non Corsa) tyres on the same car are almost out of tread by this point.

Noise is well controlled and even with 19/20" wheels the bumps are never felt too harshly. Overall a great tyre that has no problems in standard Aussie dry/wet conditions.

Great Performance Tyre

published

Awesome performance orientated tyre, tried once and have continued to keep using Michelin PSS after trying different competitors. Great grip in the dry when warmed up including in the wet, fairly quiet for the long freeway drives and aesthetically well presented sidewall. Looking forward in trying the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, successor to the PSS.

Best tyre's I have ever owned

published

Size: 245/40/R18

On the factory Dunlops I had serious issues with traction off the line experiencing serious wheel spin every time I gave it a boot full.

With the Michelin Pilot Super Sports I no longer have that problem, if I want to put the pedal to the metal off the line at a set of traffic lights in dry conditions there is no wheel spin at all.

They perform very well in the wet and I couldn't recommend them more highly

? Really suitable for Australian roads

published

I have MPSS on my Golf R. I had a couple of sets on my R35 GTR when I lived in Canada and liked them on the track and on the road. I like them on the Golf and they are good on the track. BUT they seem fragile on Australian roads. I have twice punctured when I hit potholes at around 50k/hr. The tyres were properly inflated. Of course the tyres were not repairable and its cost me a lot of money. Has anyone else had similar experience?

MICHELLIN Pilot super sport

published

These tyres have great grip in the dry. No issues so far. Handles well in wet. Still a little tyres spin on acceleration from hard take off from stand still, but expected with Meganes FWD set up. Super sticky and gives confidence in steering control at speed. 235/35/19inch.
Only had it for a week so far, si interested to see how it goes with tyre wear. Highly recommend McKinnon Discount Tyres for supply and install. Jeff very helpful with a few options and cost.

The best sporty tyre I've ever owned

published

I have Michelin Pilot Super Sports fitted to my M135i. I can't rotate my tyres for wear due to staggered fittment sizes. Despite this these tyres have amazing grip and are relatively long lasting. I drive my cars hard and have tried numerous sporty tyres over years in a range of cars. These are the best compromise. The only comment would be they need to be warmed up a little on cold mornings to stick but thats a small price to pay for awesome dry weather grip and good wear rates. The tyres are sometimes hard to get due to being in high demand so plan ahead.

Good tyres for road use.

published

The Michelin Pilot Super Sport has excellent grip in the dry and reasonably durability in normal driving conditions. I have done 30,000km so far. In the wet, the performance is good, but they can be prone to aquaplaning in heavy rain conditions on the highway. The sidewalls are quite soft considering their designation as a Super Sport tyres. At least the ride is comfortable and quiet. These don't really cut it as a track day tire, unless it is your very first time out on track.
Excellet grip in the dry. Soft ride. Reasonably durable.
Soft side walls . Lack steering feel. Don't try to use them on a track day because they will get cooked after 3 laps.
