This however has progressively decreased with wear. And it must be said - markedly so. It may catch the driver unaware, and what makes it worse, there’s just no warning that this amazing grip suddenly is no longer. So be warned. As it is expressed in my scores, the handling in the wet is okay - it is wet after all, and the wear and tear is actually reasonable for a performance tyre.Read more

Best tires I’ve owned
Although I believe they were moderately more expensive than competitors, I am very happy with the decision to fit the recommended tyres to my Mercedes. It made my car drive like new again.

Other tyres I have used in the past become very noisy as the tyre wears, not the case with these. They offer good grip when cold even in the wet and are good value compared to 4s that I run on the front. Will choose again.Read more

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?Read moreSimilar opinion? Write a review!

Haven t been able to pick out major differences between the two, and I rank the PS2 s eleven out of ten. The PSS feels like it turns in sharper in the dry, but only just. I ve read other user reviews commenting on the soft sidewalls but can vouch that it is not noticeable. Have done 4,000 km s on them now, 3,000 driven enthusiastically. Never once wondered if the tyres were going to give up, or if the car was going to go where I wanted it to go. Wear rate should be a little better than the PS2 s, time will tell. I bought these to try them out since they were cheaper than the PS2 s at the time; when the time comes for a new set whichever of the PSS or PS2 s will get my wallet s vote. Either way you can t go wrong.Read more

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.Read more

My previous tyres were Hankooks Ventus V12. A solid tyre, but losing grip in the wet (the DSC warning kept flashing like a Christmas light around corners), and not very comfortable in the dry. The only reason I persevered with them was because they came with the car and looked like they had about 90% tread, so it seemed to be a prudent move to retain them until they d lost enough tread. Well, the Hankooks seem to be a well wearing tyre, so taking matters into my own hands I decided to purchase Michelin Pilot Super Sports and what a difference. The grip in both wet and dry is crazy good, and the feel in the car s dynamics is that much better it s like I m driving a different car. I can recommend these tyres for people with cars who want good drivability. I suspect, and having had these tyres for only a fortnight it s difficult to judge, that the life of these tyres will be far less than the Hankooks. Another positive is that they are a quieter tyre than the Hankooks, despite the low profile. The road noise is far less intrusive, which again enhances driving pleasure. It is not that the Hankooks were overly bad -- far from it. Indeed, they were quite a reasonable tyre and I would have happily put them on other cars I ve driven in the past. But for performance cars requiring superb roadholding, the Michelin Pilot Super Sports ARE the tyres you ve been looking for. Downside, of course, is the tyres I need (265/35 rear and 245/40 front) tend to be pricey. However, I was able to get all four for less than $1500 from a Bob Jane T-Mart (including fitting and balancing), which I thought was a pretty good. So overall, quite a happy driver.Read more

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.Read more

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.Read more

Yes, since I have put these on, the last 40k km has been mainly highway driving, but still have tread left (although inside shoulders about gone). Got Nitrogen filling thrown in for free, don t know if this has helped or not. Generally the pressure are still go when I go in to get them checked every month or so. Might be slightly louder than the OEM Dunlops, but if they were originally they quiet down as they wear (going by the volume on my radio, back to what is was, might have been the passenger when I first got these that had the volume up higher). Not that you would have 19 wheel on your car is you want the quietest possible ride. Grip better than the original tyres, and have lasted longer. Due to the Winter softer compound on the inside shoulder they do wear there first, something to keep in mind if you have a car that tend to wear the inside shoulder. Summer (harder compound) across the face and outside shoulder. Will be putting another set on when these ones have had enough.Read more

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.Read more
