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!

The Best all around tire

I've had the Pilot Sport 4S on my BMW 1M for about 3 months. These are outstanding. I was particularly impressed by the incredible performance and road holding in the rain. Too bad they don't make these in 285 or 295s otherwise I would've bought them for my 911 4S (would've been match made in heaven)

EXCELLENT!

These Pilot 4S tires are nothing short of incredible! The tires that came on my WRX were Dunlop's, and I didn't realize how bad they were until I got these Michelin's. It took some miles to get used to them, but now I wouldn't buy any other tire. Keep in mind that these are summer tires. And they mean that. Once they heat up, the car is on a rail! Another note.... DO NOT drive with these tires below about 30 degrees. Not only will it ruin the tires, they are a totally different monster in the cold. With all that said, YOU WILL LOVE THESE TIRES!

Exceptional

Pilot Sport 255 40ZR17 who would put such a tire on an old 60 muscle car. So glad I did, I drive hard corner hard and this tire performance is Exceptional to any I have used in the past. Sure I have made suspension upgrades and hope to get some tack time in. I have logged over 6000 miles and I am impressed overall, quiet predictable ride and cornering, wet performance is not great but I knew that buying a tire like this. @ 140 mph + this tire is very smooth and predictable. Hard acceleration and braking grip is superior as well.

Rockin' the Creek road

My new skins replaced some old Goodyear Eagles from Germany and the improvement was dramatic. I live on a remote rural property and the creek road I travel is challenging, requiring grip, grip, grip. I'm totally satisfied so far, that said, I have less than 1k miles on the kit. I'll have a complete review at 5k.

Best Tires Ever!

I cannot describe enough how these tires make my 2019 Dodge Charger 392 Scat Pack drive. They belong on this car from the factory, but I am happy to see and feel the difference now! These tires run perfectly over the imperfections in the road, handle very crisply on turns and acceleration, but the most important to me is the steering response. The wheel input is immediately translated into the tire to the road and that to me is the best feature. These tire could only last 10k miles and I would buy them again and again. Thank you Michelin for the best tire for my car ever.

Benchmark summer tire

Having owned 3 types of Michelin tires on my Audi S6 I can confidently say this tire is the benchmark for Preformance vehicles. My introduction to Michelin started with the AS3+ which was a great tire for dry, wet and occasional snow. After wearing through these tires which are now discontinued I decided to opt for the revised AS4. Unfortunately I found these tires to be quite a downgrade compared to the AS3+ for enthusiastic driving in dry conditions especially in corners. Living in California, I decided to run a summer tire year round and replaced the AS4 for a set of PS4S. These tires are fantastic. The grip these tires provide in cornering and acceleration is very impressive. The tires feels planted and confident at autobahn speeds and are responsive enough in corners to get on throttle far sooner than any other tire I have had on this car. Well done Michelin, I will be purchasing these again.

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.

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.

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.
