I'm sure you mean Pilot SUPER Sports, but that's OK.
MY Pilot Super Sports had terrible traction (relatively, and one of them began throwing large chunks of broken-off tread before they hit 3,000 miles. I called Michelin to see wassup, and they paid me back for them.
I went to Discount Tires and the Store Manager told me he has seen a LOT of problems on all models of Michelins and "sort of" dissuades people from buying them if they ask his opinion. He and several other people at that particular store get the Hankook EVO2 tires and they all LOVE them so that's what he suggested to me. I bought a whole set and they are MUCH better than the beater MPSS tires I had.
Maybe I got lemons, but lemons on an XKR can kill people. Never again.

There was an NPR expose' about their practice. From then on, I take all Yelp reviews with a large grain of salt.
Hope your car is running okay now. Anyone like Yokohama tires? They're very smooth and quiet on my XJ8L, not sure about the XK...
