Helps Make Porsche a Porsche!

Put Pilot Sport 4S on my 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S. It's a proven tire on that car. Performs great. Lots of grip in the dry, and pretty good in the wet, too. Obviously a summer tire and not made for winter or cold conditions. Very happy with the tires!

HORRIBLE Tires for the Track!

I take my '15 911 Turbo to the track 4-5 times a year. I drive in the "advanced group" at these events. The 4Ss I purchase failed in 3 track events. The outside edges of the tires delaminated to the cord! Michelin would not honor their warranty, even though these tires are advertised for occasional use at the track.

Not meant for daily driving

I bought a used car with pretty new 4S tires on them. I've not had to replace two front tires due to sidewall bubbles/tears from potholes. I know when they occurred and this level of damage should not have happened to these tires. By looking at the reviews, I can see I'm not the only one saying this. At this point just say they are track day only tires.

Great Tire

Thankfully these came on my new 911 that I ordered (you can't specify tire brand) - much preferred over the Pirellis Zeros that typically come on new Porsches. On my previous Boxster, I switched from Pirelli to Michelin Pilots and was pleased. Note: I don't track my cars.

Confidence inspiring!

Changed out from the stock run-flats, which wore out so quickly and developed a drone overtime, to the Pilot Sport 4S. Cannot imagine going back at this point. Smooth, quiet, yet far more sticky which helps boost the confidence of the vehicle! Will definitely buy more in the future.

Transformative ride

To date, I've only had the OEM Bridgestone Potenza summer run-flats and Blizzaks for the winter on my 2013 BMW 335is. I took the plunge this week and had the new Pilot Sport 4S installed and it has transformed the driving experience. The ride is smoother, quieter and grippier. I also notice an improvement in fuel ecconomy. My only disappointment is that I suffered with the OEM tires for a couple years! A road trip is imminent!

BMW M3 Comes To Life

If you’re considering this tire stop procrastinating and make the move. You will not regret it. With less than 300km in wet and drive conditions this tire comes to life. In addition to the standard Michelin warranty they also have a 50,000 km warranty. They back their product. Enough said. I have a staggered configuration so my warranty is half which makes sense. Again, if you’re looking at the tire you’re already in the party. As the saying goes, if you have to ask......

AMAZING TIRE!

I’ve had the PS4S’ installed for a few months now and what a difference in performance. The grip is unreal compared to my previous max performance tires. They’re great in the rain as well. The most impressive quality, to me, is how much smoother and quieter they are. This is just an amazing tire!

Started out great

I was very excited to place these rather expensive tires, (245/40R20 Pilot Sport 4S) on my 2015 Chevy Impala LTZ. Performance and ride were fantastic for the first 2000 miles. Then they started to get to get noisy, and I mean very LOUD! They make so much noise now, you can crank the Bose sound system to 10, and you can still hear them roaring! Handling is still exceptional, but the tire noise ruins the experience. I had these tires checked, for air pressure, alignment, rotated them, and still they seem to get louder, every mile I put on them. I've got less than 3000 miles on these tires and can't wait to replace them. What a shame, I love the way they handle, but it was a costly mistake.

What happened to a really good line of tires?

Just got a set of these to replace an all season Michelin set from 2012 on my C6 Corvette that were fantastic tires. What ever you did to “improve them” created a very distracting loud road noise no matter what surface of pavement that I am driving. I have used Michelin since the 1980’s. I currently have a replacement set on my 2018 Accord Hybrid, 2024 CRV Hybrid, 2007 Shelby GT, and 2005 50th Anniversary Thunderbird. All I wanted was a good set of general driving tires so could enjoy cruising in my Corvette. I plan on returning these under the 60 Day satisfaction guarantee and would like to replace them with Michelin’s, Is there a model that will work for just cruising?
