Michelin Pilot Super Sport, 285 /35 R18 101Y XL BSW
Born from the endurance racing tradition of Le Mans and Daytona, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires deliver street and track performance that goes the extra mile.
Built for track day or a summer drive, the Pilot Super Sport is backed by the same Michelin technology seen in professional race cars and offers precision handling in both wet and dry conditions. Experience unmatched grip, traction, and braking thanks to specialized tread patterns designed with less grooving for increased road contact.
Michelin Pilot Super Sport Features
- Up to 12% better handling than the competition, according to Michelin
- The Twaron® belt package and Variable Contact Patch work together to provide long, even wear
- Designed for precision handling in wet and dry conditions, the bi-compound provides grip for hard dry braking while elastomers on the inner tread enhance wet grip
Michelin Pilot Super Sport Treadwear and Warranty
Michelin backs these tires with a limited, 30,000-mile treadwear warranty in addition to the standard workmanship and materials warranty.
All Michelin tires come with a Standard Manufacturer's Limited Warranty.
But if you want the most robust protection available for your new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, consider investing in our exclusive and industry-leading Certificates.
If you do, you get complete coverage and your new tires will be protected down to 3/32" of wear. And in the extremely unlikely event these tires sustain damage that can't be repaired, you'll get a brand new replacement Pilot Super Sport.
(You can add our Certificate coverage in the cart of your order.)
Don’t settle for second place — Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires offer ultra-high performance, even wear, and unmatched handling, no matter the track conditions.

Customer Reviews
Corvette
Great summer tires but as soon as it got in the 30’s I lost traction. Was spinning rear tires without even trying. Tire rubber is too hard to handle winter driving!!
M4
Great tire. Mounted on a BMW M4. Superior performance with a nice level of comfort. Would buy again.
Mustang
These tires really grip and are smooth as glass on the freeway but they are the loudest tires I've ever owned, they literally howl loudly on the freeway or any speed above 45. I wouldn't buy again unless for track use that's where they really shine.
Mustang
Love the tires, they are the best!
Supra
As good or better than other similar tires
