The best of the best!

Honestly, I have been waiting to replace the OEM Pirelli's with a set of Super Sports or PS2s since I purchased my car. Fast forward a couple of years and now I finally had the chance last week. Luckily the PS4S were available and I just love them! Granted this is not the first set of high performance Michelins, I've tried the PS2 N2/N3 and the PS4S on my other vehicles. But having these on RS has been brilliant as they really transfer the power and agility of the engine and the all wheel drive system to the road so effortlessly. Rain or shine they bring a smile to my face after every drive so far. They are not only quieter, more compliant and more predicatable than the Pirelli's but they also feel and look good too!

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.

More than just superior handling

I switched to the PS4S from an OEM run-flat, high performance summer tire of a different brand. We went on a 1,400 kilometre trip soon afterward that included western mountain roads, where the Michelins were outstanding. They took our sports car to a new level! Bonus: they ride much better, transmit less road noise, and do not ‘tramline’ (lurch into pavement grooves and sags). They were well worth the price.

Transformed my Vehicle

I bought these late last summer to replace my OEM summer tires. It instantly brought my car to life and made it more capable than i thought it was. No slips no fuss, just instant grip and off i go. The wet handling is confidence inspiring. I know i will be swapping all of my Summer rubbers to the PS4S's going forward. Would and have recommended to anyone looking for summer's.

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!

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......

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.

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...

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.

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 !
