Great grip

These tires are exceptional. Coming from another OEM tire and moving to these, I was hesitant at first. Would it change the car dynamics? My first order of business was to improve the wet traction, as I often found myself in rainy weather and was not entirely comfortable on the other OEM tires. They match the performance and handling, and in fact, I have much better traction now and have driven the same road with both tires. I can say that I 100% agree these are the best setup for my car.

Transformative ride

To date, I've only had the OEM Bridgestone Potenza summer run-flats and Blizzaks for the winter on my 2013 BMW 335is. I took the plunge this week and had the new Pilot Sport 4S installed and it has transformed the driving experience. The ride is smoother, quieter and grippier. I also notice an improvement in fuel ecconomy. My only disappointment is that I suffered with the OEM tires for a couple years! A road trip is imminent!

Best tires available

I own a 2003 SVT Mustang Cobra, that has been upgraded to considerably more power and torque that it had when new. Being a rear drive car with a front engine, I never had enough grip to launch the way the car is supposed to. Even with the Pilot Super Sports I had to take it easy. But with the PS 4S I can launch confidently with very little drama. Another plus of this tire is the performance on wet pavement. I live in Puerto Rico and never dared to buy drag radials because of the horror stories of using them in the rain. Thank you Michelin!

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!

Lots of Road Noise

I bought this 2 weeks ago to replace them with my Goodyear run flats due to the high road noise. The handling and performance of the car improved but the road noise is the same ! Specially the rear tires! Not sure if all of them would be the same or only my set has this problem.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.
