Default Michelin ss

Finally got my Michelin super sport tires installed Friday. While I haven't tracked them- I have put a few hundred miles on - and they feel great. Hard to say if they feel better then a new set of pirellis-but I certainly don't think they are any worse off.

Let us know how they feel at the track. I love my stock Pirelli Corsas, but am thinking about the Super sports as they are a little cheaper.

My new Toyo Proxes1's are quiet on the street like most all new tires are...5k miles will be the real truth to see if they get noisy.

No complaints on road noise, however that might be masked a little bit by the beautiful exhaust.

True. The RE050A N1 I have with 8k miles have not become louder.

me too, but I think the SS are about as good as the Corsas, although its probably not fair to compare the two since the Corsa is closer to the MPSC+ at least in intent (certainly not wet performance!).

Mine just arrived from TireRack last week and I'm getting them installed tomorrow? What do I need to do to confirm the Michelin promise guarantee? Is there anything I need to do to denote the mileage? Can't wait to get them on.
