that is your personal preference.. but saying that they are far better than anything pirelli has to offer is a far stretch.. the is a reason why the top supercars made run pirelli. im not some tires guru so i cant get into a pissing match with you about compounds tire wear etc... i gave a opnion based off of personal experiance i have always had great luck with pirelli. every tire company makes a entry level tire and im guessing that mabe some people on here got some basic pirellis or something and werent happy with them.. and that is fine.. i wasnt waving a pirelli flag or saying that everyone needs to run them. i just gave a opnion different than everyone else..

Most of the guys who have mid-high range sportscars up there run Pirellis. Only reason I was asking.

The only comparable tire Pirelli makes is the PZero (which I have run) and the Super Sport out performs it in every category. Dry grip, wet grip, road noise longevity, feedback, etc. That's why I said what I said...

Tire Rack reviews seem to agree with this statement. Probably should add that Pirelli makes _the best_ F1 tire out there and most of those cars do run pirelli but that's a whole different animal.

exactly the make the best f1 tire.. the form of racing that all others are compaired to... if the can make a superior tire in that level of play saying that they r not worth it or something is vastly better is a unfair statement.. like i said i like the pss and they r good tires, and never said pirelli is vastly better.. just gave a different opnion from what everyone else runs.. when comparing top tires there is not one that is just better than all tires.. they are all very close in that catagory and it comes dow to PERSONAL PREFERENCE, and also what ur useing the tire for...

Pirelli makes the only F1 tire, not the best. They are the exclusive supplier, much like Goodyear is for NASCAR.

you are mostly right.. they did use a different brand and then switched back to pirelli because the other brand did not have the traction needed. and they didnt hold up.. something about them falling apart.. not a 100% on the specifics i would have to search it..

edit:as for the comment not the best.. yes they are the best for f1 tires or else they would not be useing them..

I could have sworn Michelin made F1 tires as well but I guess I could be wrong.
