WOW…WOW…WOW!!!!!

I purchased for my 98 Mustang Cobra, best decision I have made in long time. The look and profile are outstanding and the ride is a tremendous difference from any tire purchased before. It’s for my wife’s toy, so wanted to make sure she was safe and you just cannot go wrong with Michelin and NO, I do not work for them, just genuinely impressed.

Good tires but very NOISY at freeway speed

Overall very good tires in temrs of handling The previous version of the Pilot 4S was a much better tire (it was not noisy on the freeway), but it is discontinued or I would have bought it. The Pilot Sport 4S is very noisy at freeway speeds, and annoying. Would not purchase again.

Outstanding tires!

Recently pulled my mustang out of storage swapping from 275/40r19 BFG sport comp 2 which would have a terrible time getting traction at the best of times during summer! Installed 295/35r19 and even in 5c temps they hook! The traction is unbelievable! 2019 Mustang GT 415WHP

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.

Defective Tires

I must have driven less than 5000 km on these tires on my Audi Q7 Technik there are side bulges on 2 tires. These 2 tires have the same DOT. The 2 tires that are alright have a different DOT compared to the defective ones. I am a very careful driver. I do have additional winter tires on rims hence the mileage has been low on these tires. disappointed that an expensive tire is not made to last.

Excellent tire

I bought these tires for my M240i. Swapped out all season pirelli run flat tires for these and I’m so glad I did. These tires are amazing in wet/dry conditions. I go around corners in high speeds in confidence. Also the ride is much more comfortable now. These tires grip, grip and keep gripping the road. It’s a good looking tire as well and I love how the sidewall is flat closing the gap between tire and fender. Thanks Michelin for making these tires!

PS4S - Great for track and street

bought the tires last summer 2020 and been perfect for street tires. words of cautions. - first 100 km, the tires feel like hockey puck. only after heat cycle aka after around 150 - 200 km of driving, you can feel the stickiness of the tires on street on the track in CTMP/ Mosport , I need to cycle of track run on normal speed to warm uo before going high speed.

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.

Started out great

I was very excited to place these rather expensive tires, (245/40R20 Pilot Sport 4S) on my 2015 Chevy Impala LTZ. Performance and ride were fantastic for the first 2000 miles. Then they started to get to get noisy, and I mean very LOUD! They make so much noise now, you can crank the Bose sound system to 10, and you can still hear them roaring! Handling is still exceptional, but the tire noise ruins the experience. I had these tires checked, for air pressure, alignment, rotated them, and still they seem to get louder, every mile I put on them. I've got less than 3000 miles on these tires and can't wait to replace them. What a shame, I love the way they handle, but it was a costly mistake.

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.
