Default Michelin Super Sports

New set of Michelin Pilot Supper Sports on my 2006 IS 350. Best tires I have ever owned. Sticky in corners, quiet, great wet traction.

An F-Sport rear sway bar ( stock front ) corrected for the excessive understeer in this car. The tires added grip. Car now handles like a german sports sedan but still rides like a Lexus.

Owned a lot of tires over the years for sports cars and sport sedans. These in my opinion are the best dry/wet tires ever produced.

Maybe one of these days I'll set a set. I know everyone raves about them; but I cannot seem to justify the price!

I recently replaced my 225/40/18 fronts with a pair of these, thanks to a bad belt in one of my front tires. I have loved them so far, and will likely put them on the rears when they are due to be replaced. I got my fronts for just under $400 from TireRack.com.

What brand did you replaced? Oem? Was it a night and day difference in terms of ride quality and handling?

I've been through a couple of sets of the PSS and have really liked them as well.
