Michelin Pilot Super Sports

[simonp]

Very. They were a tiny bit squirrelly on the way home from work under full bore acceleration this morning, but it was 0.5°, so I forgive them! Almost faultless otherwise...

Oh man, I've been reading up on this thread and I want these tyres badly on my GTI too... I'm running the F1 Asymmetric 2's now and they are much too soft for my liking. The damn F1's just will not wear down at all! 

Just wondering how are people finding the wear on the PSS compared to say the F1 or PS3? And which one is the type of choice, the 88Y or the 92Y on the PSS's?

Loadindex for the golf 5 has to be 92, so they are the ones to go for.
regarding wear my first set (235/35-19") lasted 3 years and 2 track days which is fantastic by my standard

Defo next tyres for me.

Just done a very wet track day on these (all 4 wheels) and a cupra which normally does same times as me in the dry was more than 10 seconds slower per lap (my laps was 1.34 on a very wet Jyllandsringen) He was running Michelin Pilot sport Cup 1 and 2's.
Those observing thought i was 4wd due to the grip and cornering speed achieved

10 seconds is night and day Jake, jeebus 

Hail the PSS in that situation

My apologies, I'm referring to pilot sport 3 tyres, sorry for the confusion 

I've just had 2 of these pilot super sport 3's fitted to the front of the GTs. I got back from a Costco shopping trip yesterday to find I had a flat on the rear nearside,  I had been alerted to the two screws in that tyre but they looked super embedded to be worried about. Having had the Michelin premacy 3 fitted at the New Year and having only done circa 10,000 miles on them, I decided I needed something better.

I called Costco and they quoted £87.50 per corner, but as its quite a way to go, I decided to call around. Kwick fit quoted me £145.00 per corner and I ask him to reconsider as Costco quoted as above. He came back with £90 each based on having two fitted. It was a shame really as the Yokohama advan sport tyres fitted had loads of tread but were starting to perish in the treads. I just hope these are as grippy as the premacy 3's but last longer.

All in all, I'm quite pleased with the work the KF lads did, went for a run to the stable and no vibrations on the steering wheel.

There's no such tyre as a Pilot "Super" sport 3. It's either a Pilot super sport or a pilot sport 3. This tread is about the Pilot super sport

Apologies, edited above. I must have been having a moment, the car has cost a fortune this weekend

No worries, it's just that the PS3 aren't in the same league as the PSS. So no relevance in this tread  , They are neither with dual compound nor with Twaron as the PSS are

Iv had the super sports fitted all round now for about 3 months , I like the turn in feel and oddles of grip, even on a recent trackday they didn't go off when pushed hard

[snowfree52]

how many miles do you guys manage with those tyres ? are they any good in the wet ?

[edd30]

they're brilliant in the wet, they hang on well, when they do let go, they're progressive. I got 8000 miles out of a set, rotated.
Have them on my new car too, but the camber is more aggressive and they're staggered so I can't swap them around.
