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?

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!

Michelin-Pilot Sport 4S tires

I am very happy with them: Optimized the driving dynamics of my Ferrari 812SF. I can now push the car harder in a straight line and around the corners too. I gained more control and boosted my confidence driving this beast. It’s definitely a tangible upgrade from the stock Pirelli that came with the car. Bravo MIKE B

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 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.

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!

Great Traction Great Road Noise

Bought the PS4S at the beginning of summer with much excitement and after three balancing, two alignments I have concluded the price of traction is road noise and high frequency vibration. Super disappointed that these tires transmit so much road noise through the steering wheel that as much as I enjoy that these tires can hookup and handle 680HP, I have been looking forward to putting on my winters for a smoother ride. Missing my Super Sports.

Horrible road noise

Terrific grip, absolutely unacceptable noise levels. I have less than 500 miles on these and it sounds like a freight train. I have never in 30 years of driving been this frustrated with a tire choice. My Alpins are significantly quiter..to top it off I find out AFTER having em mounted that Michelin says DON'T TRACK. Did I miss that in the adverts somewhere? Pretty frustrated here. Seems some sizes make noise while others don't, just my luck!

Great Tires would buy again

Recently purchased a set of Pilot Sport 4S tires for my 2010 Camaro SS, replacing Pirellli's. The area of most difference is the tires following ruts in the pavement made by heavy trucks. Previously you had to hang onto the steering wheel as the front end chased the ruts from side to side, could not take your eyes off the road. Now it is a much more relaxing experience. They are way quieter especially with hitting cracks in the pavement. Now it feels like the car is on rails, goes where you want it to. Great product.
