MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport tires ?
 
So does anyone have them on there Z, and what do you think of them?

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 03:07 PM

Lots of people have them. They are fantastic tires. I love them. Planning on ordering a set for my S2000 soon.

RandyD 06-22-2012 03:12 PM

Love. will get them again...

Tickwomp 06-22-2012 03:14 PM

Awesome tire! Better in every way (but price) than the OEM cr@p that comes on the cars.

jaycz 06-22-2012 03:39 PM

Love them. Look at them as a performance upgrade.

I took these photos out of their frames and scanned to share with you. I have them up in my hallway normally.

way da go daisy! :tup:

tires look :yum:

CorbinDallas 06-22-2012 04:27 PM

Looks good in the rear with a 35 series tire. I hate the 30's that I have back there now, I wish I could run a taller tire. These will be my next set for sure.

That's awesome! :tup: Do they perform as well on the car as they do on the driveway? ;)

Seriously, Mr. Mobil1Mike (if that's your real name),

These are excellent tires in terms of wet and dry performance and road noise. They grip like nothing I have experienced and believe me when I tell you that I tried, my sons tried, to break them loose and they just take it and ask for more.

Longevity depends on how you drive but you should expect to replace the rears in about a 2 to 1 ratio with the fronts -- if you are staggered.

Some people get worked up about how many miles they get out of their tires, but I am not one of those crazy folks. If I get around 10,000 plus out of the rears (I got 13,500 with my first set of PSS rears) then I am OK.

You need to buy them. Now. Your Z will act and feel like a new, better car. The Michelin man will smile upon you and your family for generations to come. If you follow my recommendation, I would not be surprised to end up on your Christmas card list out of sheer gratitude as well.

Yes, I like the PSS.

I just had PS2's put on Monday. I like them so far. I'll give them a run in the twistys on Sunday.

Did you like that one? Geesh, I do not remember which guy got all bent about what I wrote, but he took me very seriously. Anyway... I can't afford a licensed therapist so I have to work out my issues here. Sorry.

I absolutely loved it. :rofl2: The reaction was almost as ridiculous, too. Freaking hypocrites, getting all riled up about someone else getting riled up about something someone else said on the internet. :shakes head:

I know that....not tooo far apart though.

KaienZ34 06-22-2012 05:11 PM

255/35/19 & 295/30/19 PSS's i love mine. I haven't had a chance to take them to the track but they are badass on the street in the wet and dry.

Yah, you can't go wrong with pilot sports. Even their all season one sticks good.

For a purely street tire... PSS. Longer life, better in the wet, dry grip should be about the same on most street surfaces.

If you track, RE-11 is likely the better choice. More ultimate dry grip and more durable. The PSS have a tendency to degrade/chunk on track after they get hot.

What size did you get? Hope you went meaty. I have 2,000 miles on mine. They are good tires. When PUSHED hard through a turn with tare strips. I can feel the front tires break and regrip again. The stock tires would have a hard time trying to find grip again and put me CLOSE to the edge of the turn when they did find it. :eek:

mobil1mike 06-26-2012 07:42 AM

I just got stock size, 245/40ZR-19 275/35ZR-19 not any larger.:driving:

m4a1mustang 06-26-2012 08:21 AM

Sidewall feels great on the PSS as well. Super sharp. Probably the best street-only tire around considering wear, grip, feel, wet performance. All fantastic.

red6spd 06-26-2012 08:30 AM

I have had them on the car for over 2500 miles. Great tire.

kenchan 06-26-2012 09:20 AM

:excited: i need to get me some soon... too bad their $70 promo ended at tirerack. :(

m4a1mustang 06-26-2012 09:23 AM

Just wait a week or two and it will be back. :icon17:
