Here's my quick Pilot Super Sport review. I have 200 miles on my new set, and finally got a chance to lean on them a bit. I'm impressed. The roads were clear and dry, on a sunny day, but the temperature was only 25°. The grip available was comparable to my old PS2's on a summer day, they felt that good. Granted, my old tires were 2 1/2 years old on the rear, and 5-6 years old front (originals on my '06). As most of you know, the PS2's are a bit slippery below 50°.

FWIW, I purchased 245/40-18's for the front, and stock size 265/40-18's on the rear. My theory being, I can reduce understeer without having to use an aggressive front alignment (or making expensive suspension changes), allowing alignment for maximum tire life. My tire wear was actually quite even with the factory alignment, except for the inside of the RF tire .I'll have my alignment checked, though it may just be from "dragging" the inside edge on right-hand turns (ramps). I can have my cake, and eat it too!
