Ultra High Performance SummerPerformance
Michelin Pilot Super Sport AC
The Bottom Line
The Pilot Super Sport AC is a strong choice for drivers who value dry grip and handling precision, backed by a 30,000-mile warranty. However, its wet grip is lacking, making it less ideal for regions with frequent rain.
Important Note
Wet grip performance is subpar, which could be a safety concern in rainy climates.
Pros
- Dry grip score of 9 ensures excellent traction on hot pavement, ideal for spirited driving.
- Handling score of 9 provides precise steering response, enhancing driver confidence during aggressive cornering.
- 30,000-mile treadwear warranty is a plus in the ultra-high performance summer category, where warranties are often limited.
Cons
- Wet grip score of 5 is below what you'd expect for this category, making it less reliable in rainy conditions compared to competitors like the Yokohama ADVAN Sport.
- Comfort score of 6 suggests a firmer ride, which might not be suitable for those seeking a more cushioned driving experience.
- Noise level at 6.5 could be a concern for drivers sensitive to road noise, especially on long highway trips.
