Outstanding Dry Grip, Outstanding wet grip! Limited tread life but that's expected with UHP Tires and High horsepower vehicles.

I purchased these for my BMW with the understanding that they are a Maximum Performance Summer tire and thus have a shorter tread life. These tires are remarkable!! Outstanding dry grip, surprisingly high grip in rain/wet conditions. This particular car doesn't get driven in the snow as THEY AER NOT SNOW TIRES!

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.

Noisy and unsettling

Michelin is usually my first choice, but the PS4S has a strange, imprecise feel, most noticeable when entering a fast, sweeping bend on the highway. The car feels like it yaws and wobbles before settling into a turn. The tire is also strangly loud over most highway surfaces, with an annoying, resonating howl. Definitely noisier than the older PS SuperSports were.

Really good tires

I have 32,000 Km,s on my tires and still have all kinds left, I can drive my car in the rain even now. They are a little pricey but well worth it in the long run. I have been asked many times how much I have liked then and given a good review. In the summer I use the car daily

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S - best tires

I have been a long time Michelin summer tire customer starting with the Pilot Super Sport model. I have used these on Audi A4, BMW 335i and FR-S. I have been using the Pilot Super Sport 4S on Mercedes SLK55, Jaguar XFR and Range Rover Sport. I have tried other tires including Pirelli PZero, but prefer the Michelin for the handling in wet/dry, cornering and less noise. I would recommend these tires to others.

Great Traction Great Road Noise

Bought the PS4S at the beginning of summer with much excitement and after three balancing, two alignments I have concluded the price of traction is road noise and high frequency vibration. Super disappointed that these tires transmit so much road noise through the steering wheel that as much as I enjoy that these tires can hookup and handle 680HP, I have been looking forward to putting on my winters for a smoother ride. Missing my Super Sports.

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.

Top Performance

I bought these these tires for a new set of rims that are on my BMW M2 Competition. The tire performance of the 4S is improved over the OEM Pilot Sports. The driving dynamics and stability at the track exceeded expectations. Excellent wear characteristics with good feedback.

Michelin Pilot SPORT 4S AMAZING WET AND DRY PERFORMANCE

AMAZING WET AND DRY PERFORMANCE. BEST TIRES MY Volvo S60R had on. It is like my car is glued to the road and rides on a track. Handling is superior at any speed or road condition during the summer period. I do not use these tires during the winter time. After 2 summer drivings I would purchase them again and I would not think about any other tire on the market. ; As an additional bonus the tire on my car looks great thanks for all the detailed work on the sidewalls. Thanks Michelin for putting on the market this superior tire.

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
