Excellent handling!

I purchased the 4S at the beginning of summer 2019. I was very happy with the added tire performance, handling and exceptional tire grip. I drive a modified 2017 Chevy SS (Sport Sedan). My satisfaction with these tires was not diminished because my warranty was reduced to 15,000 miles since I use staggered sizes front and rear. I drive fast and corner hard! And I enjoy beating youngsters in their modified cars!

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.

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.

Gregory, we're sorry to see the tire in this condition. We would recommend an inspection of the tires by an authorized Michelin retailer. Have the dealer contact us with the inspection results, and our team can get involved.

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.

Excellent Handling, low noise, great comfort

There is no need to compromise on a summer tire anymore. The PS4S tire is no doubt the industry standard. Changed the complete feel of my car when i put these on. After 8000 miles, very little tread has worn. These tires also keep noise levels to a minimum, and provide the same comfort (in some cases more) of all season performance tires.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
