Michelin Pilot Super Sport upgrade

Just installed a set of Michelins Pilot Super Sports in stock 205/45/17 size, (Update made contact with the front strut) Handling, ride, noise, cornering everything's better, only negative is they pick up junk on the road and of course could flat.
One of those items wish I had done sooner.

Glad you got the Super Sport but they are replaced by Pilot Sport 4S although not always in the same sizes. So for 205/45-17 you are fine. For those that can use 215/45-17 then the Pilot Sport 4S ($193 each) is the current model. Both work for 17" OEM wheels and OEM suspension.

Yes 4S isn't available in 205-45-17. The tire did lightly contact the strut during cornering, I had a piece of tape on the strut to confirm this.
