Got my first new set of tires ( Michelin Pilot Super Sport )
Got my first set of tires which is the Michelin Pilot Super Sport. I got it from Tirerack.com which worked out to be a lot cheaper than getting it from my local Michelin dealership here.
I bought it mainly for good ride quality , decent handling , less tire noise and good tread life. Do you guy's think I made the right choice ? Does anyone else here have any experience with these tires ?
I don't track day my car , just highway cruise to office and occasional local trips to compete in 2IS photo challenges.

really you think they are decent? I thought this one of Michellins top of the line tires for the max performance summer tires?
I haven't but looking into it. I know of friends that have had it on their cars and have nothing but praises for these.

These tires are a bit expensive , the first option that I wanted to buy was the Bridgestone Pole position S04 , they were cheaper, but the problem was that they didn't come with ECE codes , hence they could have been rejected by customs. Since it was my first purchase didn't want to take that risk.

One of the best ultra performance tire out there. Not the best for ride quality or road noise though. But you will love it because of its performance outweigh those ride quality, i think.
BTW, if your stock tires are peeling off like you said, please please change them out before they will blow out on you.

+1 on them having a bumpy ride. I've been on these for almost a year now and they handle amazingly and handle small to medium bumps well. However, big bumps send jolts through the suspension. I'm actually wishing I went with Continental DW instead because of this. That said i'm sure you'll love the way they take corners and since you are on 17's maybe it wont be as harsh for you.

Yep, at 200 a tire its not a bad deal to pick these up! I have a set, just installed last month and I love them. My local tire shop had them in stock at the same price as tire rack so I was lucky enough to save on shipping

You have the tires already so why take the chance, put them on now and sell the non-ripped tires that still have some life in them.
It's just not worth it to endanger yourself and others to potentially get an extra 6 months of use from that tire.

if you can see the belt, that is dangerous. That point automatically becomes the weakest point on the tire so if there is any unusual stress on it (like you hit a big pothole or make an emergency maneuver), then that is the spot the tire will blow.
