I'm replacing my stock Pirelli PZeros with the Pilot Super Sports this summer. Based on all of the reviews and tests it looks like it clearly outperforms the PZero, which I have found to be an excellent tire. I should get double the tread life out of them too... too good to be true? We'll see!

I've had extremely bad luck with Michelins. Not because they're bad tires, mind you. Just extremely bad luck. Tires in sidewalls, random potholes, etc. If Michelin makes the best performance tire, I'll be stuck with second best

That's weird, I feel the same way. For whatever reason whenever I have Michelins it seems I get more nails, etc in the tires than when I have other brands. I even said that to my wife while buying the Michelins last week.

PZeros are one of the comparison tires that Michelin used as a bench mark to beat. Some of the advertising claims that Michelin uses for the PSS are in comparison with the PZero (if I recall correctly)

I'm still liking mine!

Me too. These are great tires. I have about 1,800 miles on them now.
