The tyre that promises so much for both road and track use, the new Michelin Super Sport launched globally this January 2011 has hit our shores!
We are in the process of fitting these up for a 997 Turbo customer, and here at Exel Wheels ( www.exelwheels.co.uk ) we believe we are among the first in the UK under general release to get these on a customer car.
Please note they are not carrying the official N rating yet, although Porsche were involved with the development with Ferrari and BMW M Division. Currently only available for Porsches in the 19" standard Turbo/4S sizes, so no 18" yet.
We thought we'd do a side by side pictorial tread comparison for you guys on 911uk, with a Pilot Sport 2 of the same width. The sidewall is visually very similar to the PS2 for those who are also interested in the cosmetic side as well.
The Michelin Super Sport has been designed with to accomplish a single purpose which is to 'deliver the ultimate driving experience while ensuring maximum safety - even in extreme conditions of use".
50% more track laps, 10% more road miles, better wet and dry grip, better braking versus PS2. Will be interesting to see how they perform! We'll get more pics posted once fitted.
