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…

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.

Great grip

These tires are exceptional. Coming from another OEM tire and moving to these, I was hesitant at first. Would it change the car dynamics? My first order of business was to improve the wet traction, as I often found myself in rainy weather and was not entirely comfortable on the other OEM tires. They match the performance and handling, and in fact, I have much better traction now and have driven the same road with both tires. I can say that I 100% agree these are the best setup for my car.

EXCELLENT!

These Pilot 4S tires are nothing short of incredible! The tires that came on my WRX were Dunlop's, and I didn't realize how bad they were until I got these Michelin's. It took some miles to get used to them, but now I wouldn't buy any other tire. Keep in mind that these are summer tires. And they mean that. Once they heat up, the car is on a rail! Another note.... DO NOT drive with these tires below about 30 degrees. Not only will it ruin the tires, they are a totally different monster in the cold. With all that said, YOU WILL LOVE THESE TIRES!

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.

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?

Not for street driving

Those tire came with the car, 2022 tesla models with Pilot sport 4s 265/35zr21 in front and Pilot sport 4s 295/30zr21 in the rear. I had a buldge on the side wall of the front right tire so I went to the dealer. Since I used them for one summer, he couldn't just change one, So i change the four of them for the same ones. Litterally the day after, I hit a pretty small pothole, front and rear tire on the right side showed tear and bubbles on the side walls!

Good Tires but not much time with them Yet

I bought these tires a few weeks ago. They are on a 2014 Porsche Boxster. I like the handling so far. I noticed that they feel loose when they are cold but seem to get stickier when warmed up. Still too early to say how they are overall as I have no experience in wet conditions yet and less than 1000 on them.

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.

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!
