Great Tires

I own a 2019 Mustang GT Premium California Special and have only experience with Perelli P Zeros and Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06. Tire Rack rep was helpful in ordering my tires. I reviewed all the comments online comparing Perilli, Continental and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. It’s hard to decide when all the review were so close to each other. The one thing is that the Michelin’s were more expensive. I decided to go with the Michelin’s hoping I had made the right choice. They were mailed to America’s Tire in my town within 2 days and installed the same day they arrived. Having black factory rims I wanted black balancing weights instead of the silver ones. Last time I didn’t tell them, so I had to go around with a black marker and blacken them out. My car has factory suspension with 49,600 miles. I took it for my first drive and couldn’t believe the difference from the Perelli’s I replaced. First thing I noticed was the comfort in the ride. Next thing I noticed was how they really stuck to the road. So far to me it made a big difference in the way the car drove. Since they are new, I can’t say if they will last the 30K warranty, but just on my initial experience if you can’t decide go with the Michelin’s.

Perform but wear very quickly

I have owned these tire for just under a year and 8000 miles. I got a small nail and took the car in to fix it. My tire tread is reported to be 4/32. I have never even done a burn out. Just drove my Porsche normally. So bit bummed to be replacing them at about the one year mark and I figure 9000 miles.

Durability, safety, and dry rot.

Inner edge of the tires have severely worn out in addition to dry rot. The inner edge wear is not noticeable unless you happen to have the tires turned outward. As a result, it is a safety issue. Luckily, I saw the damage at 21,000 miles but disappointed that although the rest of tires have a lot o thread left, they are no longer safe.

Good tires but very NOISY at freeway speed

Overall very good tires in temrs of handling The previous version of the Pilot 4S was a much better tire (it was not noisy on the freeway), but it is discontinued or I would have bought it. The Pilot Sport 4S is very noisy at freeway speeds, and annoying. Would not purchase again.

I put a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires on my F-150, and they completely changed the truck. The grip is insane. From a dig or a roll, power actually sticks instead of spinning. Cornering feels sharp and planted, almost like a sports car, and the floaty truck feel is gone. Ride quality is still smooth, road noise is low, and braking is noticeably stronger. For a street truck build, this is one of the best upgrades you can make. 10/10 — highly recommend.

Review

The Pilot Sports 4s are truly amazing! They enhance my driving experience and grip so well when driving through corners and wet conditions. I've had them for about a year now and they still look great on tread life.

Great for Florida Driving

First impressions of these tires are extremely positive. Coming off of the OEM Dunlops that were provided with my WRX the comparison is night and day. Far and away much more comfortable while still delivering confidence in corners.

Michelin Pilots a great asset to the BRZ

After 5 years and 26,000 miles, I replaced the factory tires with Michelin Pilots on my BRZ Limited. Handling is as good as when the car was new, the tires grip and performance well with the car providing safety and great handling. They are quiet on freeway and streets. I'm glad Huntington tires had them in stock and with a new front end alignment, I am a happy customer.

Tires

I purchased these tiers 4 mounts ago. They are already build in the back. I have a wide body charger. I have not done a single burnout and I haven’t done any donuts. So I brought to the place I bought them and they said I was going everything that I wasn’t doing now I’m having to buy new back tires after them only having 4k miles on the ones needing replaced!!!

Good performance tire.

These tires went on a 2013 Chevy Impala LTZ that required a 235/50/18 with a W speed rating. This tire provided excellent traction: dry, wet and light snow. The ride is a little too firm for me, but it is a performance tire. It is rated for 40 thousand miles, and I got about 30 thousand before I was too close to the wear bars to go into another Michigan Winter. The Price at SAM'S Club was good, but the installation was problematic from the get go, causing rim and valve stem leaks. They tried to seal the leaks a few times and I finally gave up and just added air weekly. This was not the fault of the tire, as much as the installation.
