Awesome!

Just replaced the the P Zeros that came with my 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera with these tires. What a difference! Much better ride and they’re much quieter on all road surfaces. I do not track my car, so I can’t compare the two on the track. But I’m told that they handle as well if not better than the P Zeros.

Lifelong customer

I remember going with my dad to get tires on the family car when I was a kid. He told me Michelin were the best tires made. On the way home he was so excited and couldn't stop pointing out to me the qualities of the tire. Now as an adult, all I mount is Michelin. Even if money's tight at the moment and new tires are needed, I mount Michelin. Ive had luxury sedans, luxury coupes, and sports cars. Currently I am running Pilot Sport 4S with a spare set in the garage just in case. Even when the tires are completely worn, they keep you fully confident. Michelin should sponsor me given how much I brag about their tires to everyone who brings up the subject.

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.

Wear Concerns

With 11,000 miles both rear tires are down to 4-5 tread wear, so need to replace them already.

NOT the greatest "All Season" tire

Good for summer/wet weather, but you should NOT use these in the extreme cold winter months we see in the Midwest. The rubber compound in these tires will harden and, potentially, crack.

bob27, Michelin Ultra High Performance Sport Summer tires use tread compounds that are optimized for maximum dry and damp grip in temperate conditions. As the temperature of the compound nears freezing, the grip level of the tire begins to degrade. Michelin does not recommend using UHP Sport Summer tires when temperatures drop below 40 degrees F or on snow and ice. At temperatures below 20 degrees F, Michelin UHP Sport Summer tires may develop surface cracks in the upper sidewall and tread area if flexed. Do not use, roll or drop Michelin UHP Sport Summer tires with temperatures below 20 degrees F. If tires have been cooled to 20 degrees F or less, let them warm up in a heated space to at least 40 degrees F before being installed or moving a vehicle on which they are installed. Do not apply heat or blow heated air directly on the tires. Always inspect tires before use. Never use a tire with freeze cracks, breaks or damage to the sidewall or tread. If in any doubt, please consult your local Michelin contact or call Michelin Consumer Care at 866-866-6605.

Failed to withstand a flat head bolt

After 85 days, this tire took on a flathead bolt. The picture does not make sense. My local tire repair center patched the tire; however, I am alert for further problems.

Frrh, it is unfortunate that this occurred, especially with such a new tire. Road hazard injuries are not always repairable. Fortunately yours was.

Best tire for street and track use available. Thanks !

Made my Focus RS even a better performer than it already was.. Ready for the next Targa SCCA multi-event. Good for track events, autocrosses, and daily driving. Better than some full race tires I've had in the past.
