Finally purchased Pilot Super Sport!!

Captainstevo · 10-22-2012, 07:23 PM

Well, I somehow managed to get 32K miles out of my stock tires. After much research, I decided to go with the super sports. All I can say is....WOW! My favorite thing about them is there is virtually no tire noise. I can finally hear my FI exhaust! Haha. As for the way they feel on the road...grip is amazing. It is def one of the best mods you can do for the price range. Also drove it in rain today, and it performed great! Would recommend these to anyone.

Did you stick to stock size.?

kfull · 10-22-2012, 08:06 PM

Already done! Haha. Took a three hour drive in the back roads yesterday. Weather was perfect. I also have the option to take the back roads home from work -- which I plan on doing frequently now

Need to get myself these tires.

red6spd · 10-22-2012, 10:45 PM

I love mine, totally worth the money.

speedfreek · 10-29-2012, 09:44 PM

32k on stock tires? What the hell am I doing wrong? I am just over 7k miles on mine and the outermost edge are nearly gone!

There is no way I will get anywhere near 32k. I will be lucky to squeeze out 15k miles on them.

AMG091 · 10-29-2012, 09:48 PM

Amazing tires, very nice choice

speedracer007 · 10-30-2012, 01:55 PM

Good to know. Only 925 miles on my Z right now, so I hope I am a couple years away from needing tires.

I'll love you forever if you upload some pics

DWS44 · 10-31-2012, 01:23 PM

Mind telling us how much $$$ they set you back? I just crossed 28K on my stocks, and they aren't gonna make it much further, either.

Oh, and I agree...pics would be cool, too!

wheee! · 10-31-2012, 02:05 PM

I only got 17,000 out of my stockers and it was driven conservatively... the fronts were still good however.

MY deal for the PSS's fell thru and I ended up with Hankook Ventus V12's which are a good second choice.

Which michelin super sports....the all season with 540 treadwear rating or the softer ones? I have on more set of rears to go through before I have to fork over the cash for all 4. Also guys tire rack saves you a lot of $bread$ when it comes to tires.
