Guys by far the best tires iv ever ran.I can't explain them.they are twice as smooth as the invos with twice the grip in the corners.

The best way to describe them is like driving with cup tires on my m3.

Im blown away by these, michelin has surpassed the ps2 in every way.it rained today and the car felt glued to the road taking a corner exit.

Awesome tires but 305 each for the 275/35/18 is a stretch but there worth every penny

Very nice! I paid around $1150 for four nitto invos in 19", so the price is not that much more. Any burnouts in the future?

Glad to know somebody here now has these tires

I hear nothing but good things from people on the P-car forums (even though Porsche hasn't officially N rated them yet.)

After I go through my existing PS2s, they will be my next set of tires. PS2s have always been worth the extra $$ to me, so the Super Sports are a no brainer, imho.

Dang it!! I didn't think they made that size!! I went nitto nt05s and gotta admit, not on love with them yet. Missing toyo 888s.

anyone tried Vredestein?

Angelo,

Are you running those 18" rears on a stock width wheel? Any rubbing or fitment issues?

Im running on a 9.5 in rear width wheel and I can't remember if the stock is 8.5 or 9.5

I have no issues at all and was going to go 285 but I would of needed a wider wheel.

GregMB

Cool... I'm just about through with my Contis (sport 2?).... What a garbage tire.

Even under about 1/3 throttle they spin and refuse to grip... I'm already tired of watching the blinking triangle on the dash and I've only had the car for a month.

Sounds like a fresh set of PSS tires might just change the whole character of the car.

So this means you've fallen in love with the car all over again and are going to keep it now, right?

skratch77

HAHA its always for sale bro,its funny how 2 buyers say they have cash and make me go to my bank and get the payout,almost cancle my insurance and then they tell me they cant get a loan.

Another kid wants to trade me to pos cars plus cash for my car lol.

Ill keep it untill someone comes along

skratch77

OMG those are the worst tires ever made.I had those on my car for maybe 2 weeks before I sold them on craigslist.

If you want to play it safe(and save a little)you can always run the stock sizes and go with a 245/40/18 in the front and a 265/35/18 in the rear.

I am. They are a truly an impressive tire all around. They grip like heck, give instant steering feedback, and have a smooth ride. I was also surprised at how quiet the tire is over all types of road types. The directional tread tires tend to be very loud but these are some of the quietest tires I've run.

I loved the PS2's so I imagine the Sports are even better.

But, putting on a new set every eight months at those prices is just crazy so I did my research and went with a set of the Hankook Ventus V12's at around $600 for all four and I'm real happy. The ride is as smooth and quiet as the PS2's. Traction not quite as good but the trade off is longer wear which is OK with me.

FML!!! I just ordered another set of pirelli p-zero nero. they dont grip worth a Fu@k

skratch77

My beast!!!

AKnight55

You'll run a 11.2 now.. These things are super light.. Lets go to the track Friday night

skratch77

Ill try to get out early.Friday is good because they have so many cars and they wont notice me without a roll bar.

AKnight55

Ha and with the new wheels they will have no idea.

MIKESV8

+1 the p-zero's suck!

W219CLS55

I was able to cancel the order and get some Michelin PSS's
Let's see how good the are cuz these Pirelli's really do SUCK. They have zero traction literally. The only good thing about them is that they do have a smooth ride.

+1 .. agree. I have PSS on my Mini Clubman JCW.. Just did a weekend run in the canyon.. It grip and grip and some area were damp it grips... no problem.. +1 for me..

NCE500

Thanks for posting the PSS feedback. Everything I've heard elsewhere has been positive about them.

I love my PS2s, but will get PSS next time; looking forward to it.

GregMB

I'm torn right now.....

Should I buy the PSS and just stick with the stock size rears (265s) on my factory 18's.... Or should I pick up a set of the CLS500 split-spokes (also 18" but with slightly different offset) and go for a 285 setup instead? I think the CLS500 wheel is either 1/2" or 1" wider than the stock E55 rear wheel, so the wider tire will fit without looking ballooned over the rim..... I think Shardul runs this setup and claims no rubbing even with the extra meat out back.

Greg if your happy with the stock wheels go with the 265 in the back.The price goes up big time for that next size tire.

You should meet up with us at the dragway this Wednesday also with your beast.id love to check it out and see what it runs being stock.

GregMB

I know.... I know.....


The problem is that my current tires are so bad that I don't have a good frame of reference for how a 265 "should" grip the road..... Maybe with a sticky Michelin PSS the 265 will be enough, but I seem to read a lot of guys here consider the 275 to be a better match for the E55 power delivery. Once you start modding, even 275 may seem too narrow.

I'd love to come out to the track and meet you guys. I have NEVER run the 1/4 mile in my life, and that would be an absolute blast to try....plus I'd have some helpful people giving me tips so I didn't end up running 16.50s all night!! LOL
