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.

THE ULTIMATE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRE!

I am not one just to skimp on tires to save some dollars or whatever “looks cool” I do my reasearch (i.e. reviews, videos, tech speech’s, etc.). After all what is the point of having a performance vehicle if you don’t go for the best in performance tires? The Michelin Pilot Sport 4s are THOSE TIRES! These things are excellent in every way. You notice the grip (and especially in the turns) right off the bat. The sidewallls look outstanding and the other edge channels to me, resemble small lightning bolts which is just another cool thing about these tires. Much quieter and smoother than other performance tires I’ve owned in the past. I’m beyond satisfied with these tires! If you’re on the fence about these, do yourself a great thing and get them! Great in turns, keep you from hydroplaning in the rain and very responsive. You get what you pay for and these are worth it. After all they are Michelin’s. And come with major Kung Fu grip! Drive with peace of mind and confidence with these! Thanks for making a great tire an excellent tire!

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 !

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.

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.

Not a max performance tire, streets on only!

Got this Pilot Sport 4S on new BMW. Tires were good on the street, but couldn't hold coulple autocross events. Wait, this supposed to be a Max Performance Summer tire?! I only have 2700 miles on brand new car and tires are gone! Actually, not drivable at all as you can see on the picture.

Pilot sport 4S

My car is a 2019 Tesla S Performance. Love the tires, but after 8000 miles went to have a nail removed and the tire shop said I need 4 new tires and “for a car with those miles I should have more tread”?? 8000 miles and new tires already OUCH. I have an appt with Tesla tomorrow.

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!

Michelin-Pilot Sport 4S tires

I am very happy with them: Optimized the driving dynamics of my Ferrari 812SF. I can now push the car harder in a straight line and around the corners too. I gained more control and boosted my confidence driving this beast. It’s definitely a tangible upgrade from the stock Pirelli that came with the car. Bravo MIKE B
