Durability, safety, and dry rot.

Inner edge of the tires have severely worn out in addition to dry rot. The inner edge wear is not noticeable unless you happen to have the tires turned outward. As a result, it is a safety issue. Luckily, I saw the damage at 21,000 miles but disappointed that although the rest of tires have a lot o thread left, they are no longer safe.

Perform but wear very quickly

I have owned these tire for just under a year and 8000 miles. I got a small nail and took the car in to fix it. My tire tread is reported to be 4/32. I have never even done a burn out. Just drove my Porsche normally. So bit bummed to be replacing them at about the one year mark and I figure 9000 miles.

Great Tires

I own a 2019 Mustang GT Premium California Special and have only experience with Perelli P Zeros and Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06. Tire Rack rep was helpful in ordering my tires. I reviewed all the comments online comparing Perilli, Continental and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. It’s hard to decide when all the review were so close to each other. The one thing is that the Michelin’s were more expensive. I decided to go with the Michelin’s hoping I had made the right choice. They were mailed to America’s Tire in my town within 2 days and installed the same day they arrived. Having black factory rims I wanted black balancing weights instead of the silver ones. Last time I didn’t tell them, so I had to go around with a black marker and blacken them out. My car has factory suspension with 49,600 miles. I took it for my first drive and couldn’t believe the difference from the Perelli’s I replaced. First thing I noticed was the comfort in the ride. Next thing I noticed was how they really stuck to the road. So far to me it made a big difference in the way the car drove. Since they are new, I can’t say if they will last the 30K warranty, but just on my initial experience if you can’t decide go with the Michelin’s.

Replacing new car tires

I purchased a new z4 m40i 2 yrs ago. The car is not tracked at all. Isn’t driven in rain or snow. Garage kept. Just had her 2 yr scheduled service and was told the tires need replacing ( feathering & ware). Car has 8700 miles. Why should I put the same tire back on when I replace them? Thank you

quality sucks

I had one set of tires and they got excessive inner shoulder wear, alignment was checked 3 times and was spot on. Tire is very sensitive to tire pressure and needs to be over inflated to prevent excessive wear. I got fed up and purchased set of Pilot Sport 5 which i had delivered from Europe. This is much better tire but quality control is lacking. One has excessive road force which can be felt between 62-75 mph, BTW PS4S is made in USA. Looks loke will be switching to other brand but finding good size in sizes I need is impossible

Good tires but very NOISY at freeway speed

Overall very good tires in temrs of handling The previous version of the Pilot 4S was a much better tire (it was not noisy on the freeway), but it is discontinued or I would have bought it. The Pilot Sport 4S is very noisy at freeway speeds, and annoying. Would not purchase again.

Great for Florida Driving

First impressions of these tires are extremely positive. Coming off of the OEM Dunlops that were provided with my WRX the comparison is night and day. Far and away much more comfortable while still delivering confidence in corners.

Review

The Pilot Sports 4s are truly amazing! They enhance my driving experience and grip so well when driving through corners and wet conditions. I've had them for about a year now and they still look great on tread life.

So good in the dry, really good in the wet.

There's probably better or more engaging summer performance tyres out there, sure. But this is 90-95% as good in the dry but when it rains or is damp this is so much better. While I had PS4Ses are good for heavier more powerful cars, I decided to switch over to PS4 for my lightweight Alfa Romeo 4C. So far, I'm happier with the PS4S for the 4C.

Michelin Pilots a great asset to the BRZ

After 5 years and 26,000 miles, I replaced the factory tires with Michelin Pilots on my BRZ Limited. Handling is as good as when the car was new, the tires grip and performance well with the car providing safety and great handling. They are quiet on freeway and streets. I'm glad Huntington tires had them in stock and with a new front end alignment, I am a happy customer.
