Not what I expected from Michelin.

Bought two sets of Pilot Sport 4S’s and on my wife’s 335is the rears came apart with the tread separating from the sidewall on the inside of both rear tires. Alignment is perfect, proper tire pressures maintained at all times and my wife drives the car properly and carefully. I don’t understand why this lapse in quality occurred.

Outstanding performance!

Got these three weeks ago and well satisfied! Outstanding wet and dry traction performance. Far superior to the Goodyear F1’s. I like them better than the old Pilot Sports but they also perform far better than the Goodyear F1’s. Car has an Edelbrock Blower doing 605 HP. Pilot Sport 4s is up for the opportunity! No problem.

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 Tire

Thankfully these came on my new 911 that I ordered (you can't specify tire brand) - much preferred over the Pirellis Zeros that typically come on new Porsches. On my previous Boxster, I switched from Pirelli to Michelin Pilots and was pleased. Note: I don't track my cars.

Jaw Dropping

I purchased these tires for my '14 Audi S5 and am blown away at the performance. My car had been modded so it's putting down close to 500HP and these tires have literally transformed the way it handles in the corners. Audi's in general (as any Audi Enthusiast can tell you) are plagued by understeer and cornering performance suffers. Initial I upgraded the H&R Springs and Trak+ spacers which made a big difference and I was happy for a while with the stock Dunlop Maxx GTs that came stock on the car. However, once I put these on this summer - it's like I did the next level upgrade - and now my confidence in corners is through the roof. I cannot recommend these tires any higher and I am an avid car enthusiast and tried many high performance models. Don't even think about purchasing another make and model. Buy with confidence and watch you car's handling transform!

Terrible Tires

I had these tires installed on my 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The road noise was ridiculous loud and the ride quality was terrible. I could not get any traction between 0 and 80 mph. At 80 mph on the interstate if I floor the gas the car slides all over the interstate. I tried different amounts of air pressures between 35 psi and 50 psi and nothing worked. I used these tires for 2 weeks on days between 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit and could never get any proper traction. I do not recommend these tires for any Hellcat drivers. I did not use these tires under any race conditions. Only driving around town and on the interstate.

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)

Great tires for a real performance vehicle.

Great tires, definitely lets my vehicle push its limits, had PZero’s before, the wet and cold traction is far superior, once the tires are warmed up, they perform similar under optimal conditions. I don’t understand why people with baseline cars are buying these tires. You’re Mitsubishi/Mazda/Lexus isn’t powerful enough to justify these… Base line cars don’t need high performance tires, what clowns…

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.

Great tire! I see why Chevy made this factory equipment.

C8 with Z51 package came with these tires from the factory. I've been very happy with their overall performance for driving around town, road trips, Auto-X, and even a couple track days. I'm in Florida so the cold weather limitations don't really apply to me. My only complaint is that at interstate speeds on certain surfaces they can be noisy. Other than that 10/10 great tire would buy again.
