XXXcellent road & track tire!

Put a set of Pilot Sport 4 S tires on my Corvette C6 this summer. Quieter on the street than I expected. On the track - wow! I pushed my 'Vette much harder on corners than I ever have before, and still feel like I haven't come close to driving these tires to their limit! Extremely solid traction and control. Can't imagine any tire that could do better.

Completely Changed the Driving Dynamic of my Benz

I'm always amazed at how tires can completely change the driving dynamic of a car. When I purchased my Mercedes-Benz a year ago it came with the original OEM run-flat tires which were absolutely horrible. They gave such a harsh and noisy ride which one wouldn't expect from a luxury car. However after replacing all 4 tires with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S it now drives incredibly smooth and quiet. I feel like I have a brand new vehicle. This is how I wanted it to drive from the beginning. The handling is more predictable and solid. I even feel secure and sure-footed when driving in the rain. The thought of trading it in for a newer model crossed my mind a few times prior to getting the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S but now I've decided to hold on to it because it drives so well!

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.

Performance and comfort

Traction nd handling on the Michelin Pilot 4S tirs is superb. These tires replaced the original Michelin Pilot 2S on my Porsche and the 4S are stellar on dry pavement and seem to handle even better on wet pavement than than the orignal Michelin's. The 4s also provide a surprisingly quiet and comfortable ride on a high performance tire. I would highly recommend these summer tires for any high performance cars where traction and handling are paramount consideration without comromising on comfort and quiet. Very happy with the Michelin Pilot 4S so far and would highly recommend.

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?

Fantastic summer tires

The grip provided by these tires is astonishing compared to the other brand OEM tires they replaced. Wet and dry traction are superb. I'm also impressed by the ride quality and low noise level. My only regret is that they don't come in 16" as I also need tires for my BMW. I may have to upgrade that car to 17" wheels so I can equip it with 4 S's. Remarkable tires!

Great performance Street/road tires

After using PS2 for years, I switched to the PS4s. The 4s appear to have softer sidewalls which helps reduce road noise, while retaining the traction and handing. I can still experience the excitement of twisty back roads and exit ramps performance without the Mrs complaining about the road noise.

Best Tires Ever!

I cannot describe enough how these tires make my 2019 Dodge Charger 392 Scat Pack drive. They belong on this car from the factory, but I am happy to see and feel the difference now! These tires run perfectly over the imperfections in the road, handle very crisply on turns and acceleration, but the most important to me is the steering response. The wheel input is immediately translated into the tire to the road and that to me is the best feature. These tire could only last 10k miles and I would buy them again and again. Thank you Michelin for the best tire for my car ever.

Benchmark summer tire

Having owned 3 types of Michelin tires on my Audi S6 I can confidently say this tire is the benchmark for Preformance vehicles. My introduction to Michelin started with the AS3+ which was a great tire for dry, wet and occasional snow. After wearing through these tires which are now discontinued I decided to opt for the revised AS4. Unfortunately I found these tires to be quite a downgrade compared to the AS3+ for enthusiastic driving in dry conditions especially in corners. Living in California, I decided to run a summer tire year round and replaced the AS4 for a set of PS4S. These tires are fantastic. The grip these tires provide in cornering and acceleration is very impressive. The tires feels planted and confident at autobahn speeds and are responsive enough in corners to get on throttle far sooner than any other tire I have had on this car. Well done Michelin, I will be purchasing these again.

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!
