Michelin Pilot Super Sport review
Just tossed on a set of these. Best Subie tire since the GY F1 GS-D3 and the slip angle is tons less.
Last tire was the Conti DW, but it beats the Conti hands down in terms of steering response. |
It is a good light weight tire. I've owned a set on another car.
The response was not as good as the RE050A, but the SS is a few pounds lighter. |

Since you have enough power with your turbo, I guess weight would not be too much of a factor.
My experience with the SS and RE050A was on a G35 coupe 6MT only. If I had to get another set, I would have tried the RE-11. The SS is a good choice and has good wear. My "legacy" tire choice was the DW for weight since my engine is NA. Cheers! |

unsprung weight is a big factor in cornering:) |
If I ever decide to spend the $$$ on good, summer wheels, Pilot SS's will be on them.
|
pilot SS's are over rated for the price. Dunlop star specs will perform better in every scenario and cost less. same goes for any other Extreme performance summer you find on tirerack.com

Pilot SS is NOT extreme performance:lol: The Star Specs will wear out in one summer. |
no, 2 summers ;)

because noise is a primary concern when shopping for high grip summers. :rolleyes:

They are quiet, smooth, responsive, grippy as hell, great at channeling water and they have a 300 tread rating, what more can you ask for?!?
Also, got a stupid good deal on a set from DiscountTireDirect |
The first set of star specs I had lasted more than two "summers" of driving (march - november) and probably 16 - 20 autoxes, most being 60+ sec, 6+ run events. On my second set now with 1 season on them and they have plenty of tread left.

It depends on your priorities.
I think PSS will be better in wet than Star Spec. It rains where I live in summer. Krzys |
