Hi,
Anybody tried the Michelin Pilot Super Sports on track? If so, how were they compared to the OEM Pirellis?

Black Boss said:I run PSS in the wet, on the road, and when temps are less than 45 or so. Great tire, and lasts a long time compared to R Comps or Slicks.
Luckymotorsports said:On my stock 302,the P-Zero's were pretty decent at the beginning, but after year one, which included 4 autocrosses and 4-5 track days, they seemed to heat-cycle out and grip seemed to be less in year 2 and pretty darn greasy in year 3. The plan was to replace them with BFG Rivals, but they weren't available in stock size until very late last summer so I went with the Michelin Pilot SS. Of course the Rivals became available 4 weeks after I had the PSS installed.
My impression-The Michelin PSS is a very good overall tire that is good on the street, autocross, and track day applications. Not the fastest track day tire, but good all around performance. For my next set, I will do some serious research on the BFG Rival and see how they do on our big heavy cars.

But from what I gather they do okay for our cars, but there aren't a lot of people running them around here or at least that I've heard lately.

Answer this knowing I'm a track noob and that the car is driven "spiritedly" on the street.
TheSwede said:I ended up buying the MPSS instead of MPS Cup 2. The future will tell if the car will be faster on the PSS than on the Zeros First track day is in April.
Thanks for the help!
