Michelin Video - Audi R8 with Pilot Super Sports

[desperado]

Here is a promo video for the new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tire. An Audi R8 is one of the featured sports cars. The video was filmed at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump, where our own Bodhii is a member.

And here is a technology preview of the tire from the Michelin YouTube channel. The "cover image" is the new bus-stop turn at Spring Mountain:

I put these on my V8 on December...they are great! But they have to be warmup well almost like a simislick tire...otherwise the car becomes tail happy! So it's a great summer tire, but be careful during the winter, be sure you warmed up before hammering the car...

These tires sound too good to be true! I'm fairly certain these will be my next set and are perfectly suited for a mix of everyday with some tracking. I'm on my second set of Pirelli PZeros and will switch once those are used up (probably won't make it through the summer - all dependent on how many track sessions I get in).

I guess I may switch regardless - just so that I can get a comparison in lap times in the same season with similar conditions. This would be a pretty realistic measure of how good the performance really is over the OEM Pirellis.

Mine should be on within two weeks, can't wait. At least it's finally warming up here, got my s/c installed in November and with our cold spring I have not had a chance to drive much with temps above 40f. Rear has been braking loose constantly when playing around. Will be nice to see how these tires work as we get warmer temps.

Funny that right after my last post I get call that my tires are in, will be getting installed 4/12.

Found another video, I think after you watch these will be your next tires. Really surprised by price, For my rears old PS2's are $598 but new Super Sports are $473 on tirerack who now shows them in stock.

Just had my SUPER-SPORTS shoed yesterday. Feels smooth as glass----great road feedback---however, they're a bit slick now as I've not put in the 50 mile break-in that is required. I've hit a few round-a-abouts and feels slick. I need to get a few scuffs and heat them up a bit before they break in but I'm already excited about the potential! From what I can tell so far, they are less "Beefy" than my old Pirelli's, less noisy, and "faster". I'll post more after I break them in.....

I too am making the switch. So long P-Zero, hello Super Sport. Ordered a set from Tire Rack today and expect to have binding the road by weeks end!

Even though I don't need improved handling on my GTC Speed, my tires are out-of-round and causing a shimmy that the dealer can't balance out so even though I have only <7K miles on my tires, I think I'll get Michelin Pilot Suoer Sports for my Bentley. Just gotta shop price...
