Michelin Pilot Super Sport

I read about these new tires in Autoweek a while back and there supposed to be pretty good. They're claiming 12% better handling and 2x longer tread life. They launch April 1st. Pending the price i might be intereested in trying these as my next tire.

Pilot's are crazy expensive. The PS2's weren't worth the coin according to most reviews, so I don't know if I would buy these.
