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!

Worth Every Penny

Bought these a month ago for my Mazdaspeed3 and my car has never felt better. These tires bring so much control to my car, perfect for summer drives when you’re having a little “fun”. I was very surprised by how good they felt in the rain, with my previous tires I had to be a little cautious when it got wet but with these I don’t have that problem. I would definitely recommend these if you’re looking for top notch summer tires for any sports car.

Love these Tires

Running 225/40/18 PS4S on my 2017 VW Jetta Wolfsburg (Canada) in combination with Eibach Sportline springs. This combination has increased the cornering ability tenfold, tire adhesion is excellent and highly predictable, I have not stopped talking about these tires to anyone who'll listen! Excellent product!!

Outstanding tire

I recently purchased a new vehicle. The tires it came with handled fine but were exceptionally noisy. I first tried the Pilot Sport A/S 3, which were much better, but research suggested the 4S would be quieter, and it was, considerably so. Beyond that, the 4S offer incredible handling and braking performance (both wet and dry) over the A/S 3S, so, if you can live with a bit shorter life, get the 4S. Super happy here!

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.

BMW M3 Comes To Life

If you’re considering this tire stop procrastinating and make the move. You will not regret it. With less than 300km in wet and drive conditions this tire comes to life. In addition to the standard Michelin warranty they also have a 50,000 km warranty. They back their product. Enough said. I have a staggered configuration so my warranty is half which makes sense. Again, if you’re looking at the tire you’re already in the party. As the saying goes, if you have to ask......

Just what I was looking for

I bought a set of these for my WRX and love them! Excellent grip in the corners, acceleration and braking. At highway speeds these tires seem to become more and more stable the faster you go. These paired with my Michelin X-Ice winter tires, I’m all set year round here in Colorado.

Amazing tires in all conditions

My BMW M2 came with substandard tires from another company so after 10,000 miles I decided to upgrade to the Pilot Sport 4s and immediately noticed a difference in ride quality, noise, overall grip and handling. I recently drove in monsoon conditions and was amazed at the level of grip in an absolute downpour. I now have 5,000 miles on the 4s. I strongly recommend these tires for anyone seeking the best. I am a believer!!

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.

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!
