With the tires put on fresh on the wheels, as soon as the car starts rolling, you can feel the difference...the first feeling is the softness in ride, the second one a good grip....and then you try to hear the near non existent tire noise....i replaced yokohama for their terrible noise and i am happy...now i hear only the engine sound of my s350, air thrashing or the road noise.......i cant say on tread wear etc as it is the first couple of days on the new tires but only expct better than average...very much recommended...

Absolutely fantastic... the dry weather grip just hangs on sooo well.
I have really lent on these tires and they just grip away.. replaced the awful RE50 RFT's that were crashy, lost grip under acceleration and were like riding on concrete.
The MSS's have transformed all of that.. as I pull away now the car just grips and coming out of corners I no longer get the yellow (I am am stopping you pulling away) light coming on.
Highly recommend these to everyone! Will be buying again, even though very expensive, they were cheaper than the RFT's!!
I have standard BMW Sport suspension.

Absolutely incredible grip in the dry and very impressive in the wet too!
Expensive but worth every penny for a powerful car :)
Not sure on wear yet only just bought them but they feel really soft.

These Tires are amazing, We put these on my Wife's Gen Coupe to replace the stock Potenza's. My god,it has completely changed the car. Hyundai has a ridiculously aggressive DTS and DSC they are constantly ruining all my fun. I don't want to lose traction by any means or spin the tires but i want to be able to push the car. With the potenzas i was constantly being shutdown the PSS's have literally almost solved this issue completely just because they stick so good. they also softened the ride, increased average gas mileage by about 1-1.5mpg, and have much lower road noise.

Miles better than the OEM fit Conti Sport 3's in all areas.
Dry grip and feedback is phenominal, best tire I have EVER used and will buy again and again. Reccomended to all with high-powered cars.
Wear-Rate is excellent, 7k hard miles with Track-Days and still plenty of life left in them (killed the Conti 3s in 6k road miles with only 305bhp)
Driving upto Scotland through standing water and they performed admirably making a mockery of the conditions through the fells.

Bought these to replace my 18" Toyo R1R and wanted the best road tire possible that occationally would see track day action, i have not been dissapointed. They demand high pressure even on track (40PSI hot) but they could keep up with stripped out BMW's and Clio Cup racers at Donington, and afterwards they comfortably transported 3 people and luggage across UK and half way across Europe without having lost any of their handling or quiet behaviour. Best road tire money can buy. Still a lot of tread left.

Have tried Conti Sports, Goodyear F1s, Michelin PS2s this tire eclipes them all by a good margin in all areas. Dry grip is the best I have ever experienced to the degree that understeer is almost eliminated! I would highly recommend this tire and I will be buying another set.

I have put these on a BMW 535 D M Sport touring and this tire is by far the best that I have ever experienced. My car is not running on runflats and I have struggled with comfort and wear on other brands. The Michelin is supreme in all areas and you are wasting your time in buying anything else.

Quite simply the best tire I have ever used - it has successfully taken the crown from the Pilot Sport 2; therefore, the best tire available.
Dry grip is borderline madness, and wet grip is vastly improved over the PS2 - its now on par with all-weather tires. It's quite incredible how they've made it work when you look at the tread pattern and see what looks like an old Formula 1 tire!
I cannot recommend these enough - if you have a high-powered sports car like a 911, M3, M5 etc., give it what it deserves and get a set of these - you will not be disappointed.

Fitted to my 997 C4.
Replaced the Pirellis, though previously used the Michelin Pilot Sport 2.
The Pilot Super Sport is epic. Dry grip feels up there with the cups, wet grip is better than any other tire I've used. Not tried in standing water yet but I'm sure they'll do fine.
Can't comment on wear as only been on 3000 miles but them to be wearing well, comparible to the pilot Sports which were always excellent. Looking forward to getting them on track.
