Default Michelin Super Sport

Anyone else not liking the Super Sport?

I've always had the PS2 but wanted to try the Super Sport. I've placed about 850 miles on them and is still like driving on ice.

Define "like driving on ice". Rear end not stable? No grip in corners?

Mine have been, basically, amazing.

I can agree with this. Are you talking about tracking, autox, or normal driving?

I'm interested to see your opinion after more driving time with the pss vs. ps2. I currently have the ps2s, but I hear they are going to discontinue it someday, unless that is just gossip, so in that instance I would switch to the pss. I used to have all season BFGoodrich GT (W) tires (initially came with the car), those are like driving on ice.

Not my experience at all. In fact, I took them out for 9/10s driving the day they were installed and was simply blown away by their traction.
