I'm about to get my third set. Done a few tack days on them too.

Cold weather could be the cause. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86622-thoughts-on-michelin-pilot-super-sport/page/2/#findComment-1493372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 13y 27d Posted 18/08/14 11:59 AM Share Posted 18/08/14 11:59 AM I purchased them around the same time last year. Even when fully warmed up after good run they perform the same so I don't think its the cold weather.
