Pilot Sports or Super Sports?

Need to fit new rears on my M5. Currently on Pilot Sports which are great, but thinking of trying the new Super Sports. Anybody got any experience of the Super Sports? Interested in performance and wear compared to the Pilot Sports.
yes the PSS about about 100 times more stick and will last 7K on average longer than the PSI have them on M3 M5 and M135i and they rock.
On a recent drive of the evo triangle I can confirm that PSS are an outstanding tyre.
Having had Ps2's on previous cars, they are decent but for me, the progressive grip and feel of the PSS meant that they inspired so much confidence, especially on unfamiliar roads.
Also, it bucketed it down on one of the days and the wet grip was great.
My only caveat on PSS's is availability- certainly in my sizes (265 35 19)- after a recent puncture, no where had them 'off the shelf'!
However, PS2's are readily available.
Enjoy.

My local dealer has a '13' plate ex demo on the forecourt, and it's on Pilot Super Sports. Since it's only got about 4k on the clock I'm assuming these are the originals.
Excellent & thanks. Had PS2's on many previous cars & rated them highly, so to have a performance car on it's way with even better rubber is exciting.Gassing Station | M Power | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
