Michelin Pilot Super Sports

I hit one of favorite ramps back home in Little Rock yesterday; which is the ramp to go from I30 to I630. It has a long curving ramp that I've always managed to do 60-80mph with ease depending on which car I was in, and the condition of the tires. I didn't really like the sidewall feel taking this turn. Even though it managed it at 70mph easily, the sidewalls felt a little soft and spongey. I could feel the tires and the car jiggle/sway about every second or two while taking the long turn. I never experienced this feeling in the stock Yokahoma's, nor any of the tires I had on my old WRX.

I have a few local onramps (actually some very nice long sweepers) and I tend to push the car on these (always with no one around me and, of course, within the limits of the law).

I find the Super Sports quite solid in these experiences -- much more so than the Potenzas they replaced.
