Amazing tires in all conditions

My BMW M2 came with substandard tires from another company so after 10,000 miles I decided to upgrade to the Pilot Sport 4s and immediately noticed a difference in ride quality, noise, overall grip and handling. I recently drove in monsoon conditions and was amazed at the level of grip in an absolute downpour. I now have 5,000 miles on the 4s. I strongly recommend these tires for anyone seeking the best. I am a believer!!

Excellent tire

I bought these tires for my M240i. Swapped out all season pirelli run flat tires for these and I’m so glad I did. These tires are amazing in wet/dry conditions. I go around corners in high speeds in confidence. Also the ride is much more comfortable now. These tires grip, grip and keep gripping the road. It’s a good looking tire as well and I love how the sidewall is flat closing the gap between tire and fender. Thanks Michelin for making these tires!

Excellent handling!

I purchased the 4S at the beginning of summer 2019. I was very happy with the added tire performance, handling and exceptional tire grip. I drive a modified 2017 Chevy SS (Sport Sedan). My satisfaction with these tires was not diminished because my warranty was reduced to 15,000 miles since I use staggered sizes front and rear. I drive fast and corner hard! And I enjoy beating youngsters in their modified cars!

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.

Great ride greater grip

Bought these tires in the summer and only have 300 km on them but compared to the F1's that they replaced these are very quiet and comfortable. Not quite the low profile runflat look but fills out the wheel wells better. And the F1's took forever to heat up so they slid around quite a bit just wearing off the rubber. The Michelin's are grippy after about 20 minutes after some spirited driving. Stopping is awesome and not sure what they are like in the wet as I avoid those days. I hear they are great. Looks are also a plus! I run michelins on all my vehicles as they cannot be beat.

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.

Love Michelin

I now have 2 sets of the Pilot Sport tires on my cars. They ride nice, balanced easily, and have great handling . Through the years I have strayed from Michelin tires, mostly for cost reasons, and each time I do that, I regret it. From now on, it will be Michelin always !

Love these Tires

Running 225/40/18 PS4S on my 2017 VW Jetta Wolfsburg (Canada) in combination with Eibach Sportline springs. This combination has increased the cornering ability tenfold, tire adhesion is excellent and highly predictable, I have not stopped talking about these tires to anyone who'll listen! Excellent product!!

Horrible quality tire

I am not sure if I just have a bad batch but I purchased my car new in July with these tires on it and it has been garage kept in a conditioned garage. As of monday I started noticing the tires were dry rotting and had cracks all through them. Less than 3,000 miles on the car at that.. I contacted the dealership and was told there isn't much they can do its a Michelin problem... Go figure...

Changed my car

I purchased a 4Matic MB Coupe fitted with the Michelin Primacy tires. I switched to a set of Pilot Sport 4S tires to achieve better handling. The 4S gives a much more supple ride and greatly improved handling. The difference was significant and dramatic in ride quality and handling as if I was driving a different car. Note, I live in the south and really only drive the car in warm, dry weather. When things get cold and/or wet I drive an all-wheel drive vehicle with Michelin Defender LTX M/S which are awesome.
