Anyone already replaced their 1M tires with Michelin Pilot Super Sport?

As the title suggests, I am curious to learn if there is already anyone who owns a 1M and already replaced the stock PS2s with the Super Sports. This is the one and only "modification" that I am planning to do when the car arrives, probably after the run in and while the car will be in the garage for its first oil change.

Basically, after following this Forum since October 2010 and reading every single review of the car, I came to the conclusion that 1M has two possible (and mostly predictable) weaknesses: 1) ride stiffness for daily use 2) wet traction due to the level of torque and to the suspension setup.

I assume that since Pilot SS are reported to be a major upgrade on PS2s on all and especially those (wet behaviour, comfort + tread wear) fields, I can simply minimize those two weaknesses without altering the driving nature of the car or making some compromises.

Any experiences or further thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
