Don't get the Pilot Super Sport. They are the best tires I've driven with. Really awesome summer tires.
Big problem though, they don't wear evenly on smaller cars. I have had them on the mini and on our other car and they really wear out on the soft side and don't last because you can't even get the middle to wear out before the inside corner is shot.
I'm sure very wide tire (let say on a Ferrari for example) don't have that issue. But on smaller format there isn't enough hard rubber to support the tires across. Not mentioning the majority of small cars have accentuated rear camber for stability. These tires really don't do well with that.
Other than that. Boy I loved those tires while it lasted (3 times was not a charme here.
