Great Tires would buy again

Recently purchased a set of Pilot Sport 4S tires for my 2010 Camaro SS, replacing Pirellli's. The area of most difference is the tires following ruts in the pavement made by heavy trucks. Previously you had to hang onto the steering wheel as the front end chased the ruts from side to side, could not take your eyes off the road. Now it is a much more relaxing experience. They are way quieter especially with hitting cracks in the pavement. Now it feels like the car is on rails, goes where you want it to. Great product.

Nothing Short of Amazing

I bought these for my E46 M3 about a year ago, and these are hands down the best performing tires I've ever ran. The level of grip and confidence they give you under extreme cornering situations is amazing. Even in the rain they provide amazing grip, and it can be hard to get the rear end to want to slide. The only downside I would say is that these tires really don't last long at all. I've put only about 12,000 miles on mine, and all four tires are almost bald. But I also drive the car hard here and there, so that doesn't help :)

Just what I was looking for

I bought a set of these for my WRX and love them! Excellent grip in the corners, acceleration and braking. At highway speeds these tires seem to become more and more stable the faster you go. These paired with my Michelin X-Ice winter tires, I’m all set year round here in Colorado.

Not a max performance tire, streets on only!

Got this Pilot Sport 4S on new BMW. Tires were good on the street, but couldn't hold coulple autocross events. Wait, this supposed to be a Max Performance Summer tire?! I only have 2700 miles on brand new car and tires are gone! Actually, not drivable at all as you can see on the picture.

Gregory, we're sorry to see the tire in this condition. We would recommend an inspection of the tires by an authorized Michelin retailer. Have the dealer contact us with the inspection results, and our team can get involved.

Terrible Tires

I had these tires installed on my 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The road noise was ridiculous loud and the ride quality was terrible. I could not get any traction between 0 and 80 mph. At 80 mph on the interstate if I floor the gas the car slides all over the interstate. I tried different amounts of air pressures between 35 psi and 50 psi and nothing worked. I used these tires for 2 weeks on days between 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit and could never get any proper traction. I do not recommend these tires for any Hellcat drivers. I did not use these tires under any race conditions. Only driving around town and on the interstate.

Best tires available

I own a 2003 SVT Mustang Cobra, that has been upgraded to considerably more power and torque that it had when new. Being a rear drive car with a front engine, I never had enough grip to launch the way the car is supposed to. Even with the Pilot Super Sports I had to take it easy. But with the PS 4S I can launch confidently with very little drama. Another plus of this tire is the performance on wet pavement. I live in Puerto Rico and never dared to buy drag radials because of the horror stories of using them in the rain. Thank you Michelin!

Top Performance

I bought these these tires for a new set of rims that are on my BMW M2 Competition. The tire performance of the 4S is improved over the OEM Pilot Sports. The driving dynamics and stability at the track exceeded expectations. Excellent wear characteristics with good feedback.

PS4S - Great for track and street

bought the tires last summer 2020 and been perfect for street tires. words of cautions. - first 100 km, the tires feel like hockey puck. only after heat cycle aka after around 150 - 200 km of driving, you can feel the stickiness of the tires on street on the track in CTMP/ Mosport , I need to cycle of track run on normal speed to warm uo before going high speed.

Not what I expected from Michelin.

Bought two sets of Pilot Sport 4S’s and on my wife’s 335is the rears came apart with the tread separating from the sidewall on the inside of both rear tires. Alignment is perfect, proper tire pressures maintained at all times and my wife drives the car properly and carefully. I don’t understand why this lapse in quality occurred.

Surprising Failures

I've been a solid Michelin tire fan for almost 9 years. They are the only brand I've really come to trust. But now, I'm starting to lose that trust. I've been running Pilot Super Sports since early 2012, buying both Super Sports for summer & had a set of their All Seasons for winter, going to the Pilot® Sport A/S 3+ in 2016. ALL of their tires performed flawlessly, with great handling, a nice "feel", & long life. Then, even though I had a fairly new set of PSS's, the PS4's came out, so I got a set & had them mounted up & put them on. But now, with under 15,000 miles of use, and 6 to 7 32'nds of tread still there, there are problems. My shop guy who rotates my tires every 3/4 months is telling me that the bands inside 3 of the 4 tires are separating. He's shown me the tires & the uneven surface is easy to see. I haven't felt anything odd or heard any strange sounds though. I'm absolutely baffled by this as I've never any issues with a Michelin tire before. I don't know if it's just a bad set, or a deeper issue. Having read another review here mentioning the same kind of issue, it could be either one, or both. I love Michelin, but am not sure what to make of this.
