Bi-Compound rubber tread<\/strong> (molded asymmetrically) and side-by-side outboard. They work with the track-type, low-void shoulder to endure more high-performance stress, while the inboard shoulder and notched ribs in the center improve high-speed maneuvering on wet surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSealing the deal are the double steel belts, high-strength Twaron cord, and polyester casings, whose combined stability straightens the tire on rougher, more challenging road textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No wonder Pilot Super Sport was a blast on dry terrains; just like its sibling Pilot 4S, Super Sport bonded instantly with the pavement grooves and showed very few hesitations at unplanned left\/right veering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-curves<\/strong> proved to be quite a non-issue, and even speed surges straight to 80 MPH at cloverleaf interchanges did not challenge us much despite the tight, closely-spaced ramps. Unless you get truly lackluster with your steering input, the risks of response delays or muted feedback are generally very low.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSuper Sport also satisfied us with its capable wet confidence – which was even a note better than the Pilot 4S champion ranking above due to the slightly sturdier compound blending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deep puddles post-rain stalled some other tires we tested but certainly not this one, as the notched centers did a great job dispersing stubborn water through smaller inboard sipes and interlocking grooves. Given well-prepared corner entries, your high-performance car can blast itself to highway speeds at water beyond 9 inches without difficulties or heavy drags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had no real trouble with riding comfort, though occasional panic hiccups during consecutive switchbacks or steep ascents could have been toned down for a more streamlined steering consistency. <\/p>\n\n\n
