Review on MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport 275/35 R19 100Y summer by Stanislaw Stan Stras ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

Four-wheel drive, 272hp with a slightly modified suspension, 245/40/18. The car was bought with amazing *angle tires courtesy of our narrow-eyed Chinese brothers. For about a week I chose a replacement and drove in the "God help me!" mode. tires smoking at every 90 degree turn. Despite the absolutely insane price tag of 46k, I chose this Michelin, I don’t regret anything. When I got to the tavern alive and changed my shoes, I was amazed at how much the car had changed for the better. Rubber was bought, mainly for the sake of maximum safety. She fulfilled her task with the most epic braking 270-40 on the St. Petersburg Ring Road and no less epic detour of a drunken obstacle that suddenly appeared on the roadway in one of the closed turns of our wonderful city. I still think that it was the tires that saved my mortal life and allowed me not to take the lives of my compatriots so dear to me. If you like to drive fast or the car provokes so take it. I plan to buy again. ate-22112022: This season was the last for the set. Tears literally well up in my eyes at the thought that the tires will have to be thrown away. Total traveled 70.000 km, operation 9 months a year, tires saw everything - the heat of Hong Kong under +40 and the cold of Hong Kong about -10, pits and tram tracks, cornering in skids and braking in smoke with disabled ABS, 2022 mud and snow with ice . Even with wear of about 90%, and temperatures near zero, the tires float on water only at speeds above 100-110 km / h, at temperatures below +2, the tires become very hard, they slow down VERY poorly, but at the same time they still allow aggressive rebuilding at high speeds . In the snow, like any sport, rubber is very slippery, but you can ride. I think that this is probably the best rubber in its class.

Pros
  • The grip and stability on the road are as if one of the Michelin engineers sold their soul to the devil for a pinch of miracle powder in the compound. Godlike on braking! It holds amazingly in corners, but does not like the "sand" on the road very much, you need to be careful. The most surprising thing for me was that the rubber showed itself perfectly in all operating modes, during a quiet ride it is almost no different from Primacy 3, as the aggressive behavior on the road increases, the rubber opens up and shows its maximum capabilities already at high speeds, it is there comes an understanding of what such money was given for. Wear resistance!
Cons
  • I did not like the behavior on wet pavement, nothing criminal, but the feeling of the wings behind the back is lost, allowing you to drive very quickly and at the same time safely. Very demanding on the quality of asphalt, too informative for our roads. When rutting, hands squeeze the steering wheel for fear that the car will sharply pull out of the rut. It gets very dubious, it is necessary to take into account in the off-season that the tire loses a lot in properties. Gives a false sense of absolute control over the car and provokes to do stupid things on the road. The price is very high for me, but you can not save on wheels, look at the contact patch of your car's tire and multiply it by 4, this insignificant area is your only connection to the road.
