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!!

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.

Great Summer/Spring Tire!

The PS4’s are great! This is my second set from my M550i. Great dry and wet traction. They hug the road like riding on rails! I use them for summer months only. I got three summer seasons on the first set. It is my daily driver so I do put a good mile of miles on them. I’ve always been a fan of the Michelin brand. Have other brands models on the other cars in the household. I don’t notice any unusual road noises in the cabin.

Nothing Short of Amazing

I bought these for my E46 M3 about a year ago, and these are hands down the best performing tires I've ever ran. The level of grip and confidence they give you under extreme cornering situations is amazing. Even in the rain they provide amazing grip, and it can be hard to get the rear end to want to slide. The only downside I would say is that these tires really don't last long at all. I've put only about 12,000 miles on mine, and all four tires are almost bald. But I also drive the car hard here and there, so that doesn't help :)

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!

Jaw Dropping

I purchased these tires for my '14 Audi S5 and am blown away at the performance. My car had been modded so it's putting down close to 500HP and these tires have literally transformed the way it handles in the corners. Audi's in general (as any Audi Enthusiast can tell you) are plagued by understeer and cornering performance suffers. Initial I upgraded the H&R Springs and Trak+ spacers which made a big difference and I was happy for a while with the stock Dunlop Maxx GTs that came stock on the car. However, once I put these on this summer - it's like I did the next level upgrade - and now my confidence in corners is through the roof. I cannot recommend these tires any higher and I am an avid car enthusiast and tried many high performance models. Don't even think about purchasing another make and model. Buy with confidence and watch you car's handling transform!

Increadable wet road handling

Though it appears to have a miniscule roll drag increase over N type tires, on dry roads they virtually handle equally, but on wet highway use make a large differance. Not what I would buy for use on a dry track, but for commercial road use, they are amazing

Great tire - what are low temp ranges

Excellent tire. Handles like it is a set of RR tracks. Question - what is the minimum temp for driving. This tire is on a Porsche 911. We live in TN and still have nice days in the winter. But, we have a northern route road trip planned, not in snow and ice, but possibly with temps below 40. Nights could dip below freezing but we won't plan to drive then. Is there an absolute "do not drive" temp where we could do tire damage or be unsafe?

Paul, summer tires are designed for year round usage but should not be used during the winter season where temperatures are colder and approach freezing consistently as their performance would be less than optimal.

Great tires for a real performance vehicle.

Great tires, definitely lets my vehicle push its limits, had PZero’s before, the wet and cold traction is far superior, once the tires are warmed up, they perform similar under optimal conditions. I don’t understand why people with baseline cars are buying these tires. You’re Mitsubishi/Mazda/Lexus isn’t powerful enough to justify these… Base line cars don’t need high performance tires, what clowns…

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.
