Product description & features

The Michelin Pilot Super Sport that has been developed in conjunction with teams from Porsche, BMW and Ferrari.

Michelin have designed the Pilot Super Sport with a unique dual compound technology that utilises the characteristics of different rubber compounds between the inner and outer sections of the tread.

The outside of the tyre features a carbon black reinforced compound derived from Michelin's experiences at Le Mans 24, whilst the inside of the tyre uses a compound combination of the latest generation in elastomers to deliver exceptional wet grip.

The Michelin Pilot Super Sport has been designed to provide motorists with high performance and safety in even the most demanding conditions. The tyre delivers exceptionally well in dry weather, with responsive handling and strong levels of traction.

Pilot Super Sport tyres are available in 18 inch, 19 inch, 20 inch, 21 inch and 22 inch rim tyre sizes.

Precision Steering

Michelin have used the knowledge gained from countless years producing tyres for motorsport to deliver a UHP car tyre which delivers an excellent handling performance.

The use of 'Variable Contact Patch 2.0' technology works to maximise the contact the tyre has with the road. Which, alongside the use of 'Twaron Belt' helps to distribute the forces of tension and grip evenly throughout the surface of the tyre.

Used these tyres year-round for over four years with no issues. Best in the summer/when warmed up, but so long as you're careful they're fine in cold/wet/icy conditions too.

Brilliant so far, combined with my LSD, I have great control of my car in both wet and dry conditions. It handles really well and I have great braking time when stopping in an emergency.

The tyres are only used during the summer months. Below 7 degrees winter tyres are fitted to my car. With a limited slip diff now fitted to the car, I haven't noticed any tyre slip, even on white lines!!!!

The tyres in use are very good, my problem with them is when nearing end of life, 3mm tread left, the inside edge wear is horrendous. 2 lines of wire support showing for total circumference of both tyres. The two front tyres have developed the same symptoms, Winter tyres now in use.

Superb tyres. They grip nicely and the car handles extremely well - they inspire confidence. The previous identical factory fitted tyres lasted 18,000 miles, which is in my opinion respectable for fronts on an FWD performance car. The factory fit rears are still going strong at 22,000 miles.
