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!

Great performance Street/road tires

After using PS2 for years, I switched to the PS4s. The 4s appear to have softer sidewalls which helps reduce road noise, while retaining the traction and handing. I can still experience the excitement of twisty back roads and exit ramps performance without the Mrs complaining about the road noise.

Increadable wet road handling

Though it appears to have a miniscule roll drag increase over N type tires, on dry roads they virtually handle equally, but on wet highway use make a large differance. Not what I would buy for use on a dry track, but for commercial road use, they are amazing

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!

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.

PS4S - Great for track and street

bought the tires last summer 2020 and been perfect for street tires. words of cautions. - first 100 km, the tires feel like hockey puck. only after heat cycle aka after around 150 - 200 km of driving, you can feel the stickiness of the tires on street on the track in CTMP/ Mosport , I need to cycle of track run on normal speed to warm uo before going high speed.

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.

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.

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.

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…
