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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Changed my car

I purchased a 4Matic MB Coupe fitted with the Michelin Primacy tires. I switched to a set of Pilot Sport 4S tires to achieve better handling. The 4S gives a much more supple ride and greatly improved handling. The difference was significant and dramatic in ride quality and handling as if I was driving a different car. Note, I live in the south and really only drive the car in warm, dry weather. When things get cold and/or wet I drive an all-wheel drive vehicle with Michelin Defender LTX M/S which are awesome.

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!

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!

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.

AMAZING TIRE!

I've had the PS4S' installed for a few months now and what a difference in performance. The grip is unreal compared to my previous max performance tires. They're great in the rain as well. The most impressive quality, to me, is how much smoother and quieter they are. This is just an amazing tire!
