Great Tire

These came stock on my 2019 Veloster Turbo R-Spec when I bought it new last year. I'm right at 40,000 miles with 70% highway commute, 30% in town driving. The tires are at 3/32nds, well beyond the life I would expect from this type of tire. Regarding performance, read any review of the 2019 Veloster Turbo R-Spec and most, if not all will say these tires make the car great - and they're right. I'm shopping for another set as we speak.

What happened to a really good line of tires?

Just got a set of these to replace an all season Michelin set from 2012 on my C6 Corvette that were fantastic tires. What ever you did to “improve them” created a very distracting loud road noise no matter what surface of pavement that I am driving. I have used Michelin since the 1980’s. I currently have a replacement set on my 2018 Accord Hybrid, 2024 CRV Hybrid, 2007 Shelby GT, and 2005 50th Anniversary Thunderbird. All I wanted was a good set of general driving tires so could enjoy cruising in my Corvette. I plan on returning these under the 60 Day satisfaction guarantee and would like to replace them with Michelin’s, Is there a model that will work for just cruising?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Very Impressed

These tires were standard on my 2018 Mustang GT PP package car. When test driving the car I was amazed at how quiet the the tires were in cabin at highway speeds and how well they felt over bumps and turns as I felt they were gripping and providing good feedback of the surfaces I was traversing. After 3300 miles I'm still enjoying the confidence the tires and car provide me in both wet and dry conditions and pavement types either asphalt or concrete I can apply heart pumping accelerations and maintain sure poise.

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.
