Default Michelin Pilot Super Sports

Well, after 5K+ miles on a new set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports, all I can say is this was money well spent. These are no doubt the best tires I have ever ridden on. Love 'em.

Thanks for that report, it helps me decide! I have been considering PSS's for a while.

I am in the Phoenix area. So it's stays pretty warm year round. How cold do you think it would have to be to stop getting performance out of these tires?

Found this on Tire Rack sight: like all summer tires they are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice

How much did those run you?


I've driven in 17 degrees with my summer only tires and the traction was still good. If you live where there is a real winter, then you should have a winter beater.
