The best tire money can buy

When I tell you I’ll never buy another tire again. I mean it considering what I’ve experienced with these tires. I already knew that these tires were very reliable. Due to me having them on my motorcycle & previous vehicles. But Monday sealed the deal for me. I ran over a collated nails in a construction zone. Totally unaware of it, my tire began to go flat. When I looked at the tire I could only see for nails. But when I took my car to the tire shop & they removed the tire. You could see the actual extent of damage that occurred. And just how well these tires held up, keeping my son & I safe. Needless to say I purchased another set of the same tires with a warranty. I’ll vouch for these tires every single time.

Just bought my third set! The best there is!

These tires are the best available for the Corvette. I live in Arizona so they stay on year round. I got 22,000 miles out of my last set, and put on a new set today. I could have bought other brands, but these are best in traction, stopping, even wet weather performance. Durability is reasonable, and I appreciate that the price hasn't really changed in the last 4 years. They are also made in the USA, which I appreciate.

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.

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.

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.

10 Year Old Design!? Seriously!?

Michelin FAN Boy Here! If it was 2020, this would be a 5 star rating. But it is approaching 2027!v This is coming on to being a 10 year old tire - crazy! I needed a new set of tires for my 911. I was about to purchase a 3rd set of PS4S tires. But I then had the opportunity to drive on PSS5s. SHOCKED! I then realized how out of date these 4S tires are. There is even competition now catching up. The OEM spec versions are still good but could be GREAT!! People are still giving these tires 5 stars because they don't know what Michelin could do in 2022...until you ride on a set PSS5s and take them to track day. I am a huge Michelin fan, understand this! But I am a quite disappointed that Michelin made the best in Jan 2017 and keeps selling it because they can, instead of raising the bar when they could, and should! In car racing, when you are winning a race, you don't slow down to win less! You go as fast as you can and win to break the record when it is feasible and safe to do that! It is an attitude that Michelin should have in this category of tire! Don't go drive a set of PSS5s, you will suddenly see what is being held back and you will want to downgrade your recent ratings of this tire. Where is the PSS6 for everyone? I decided to hold off on a new set of tires for a bit longer. I might just go purchase a set of Conti Sport 2 to cancel out of this race to win but slow down mentality! But I do have to say - wow -what a great tire the 4S was to have lasted this long and still beat out the competition! That there is no denial!

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

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.

Poor quality and disappointing

My 2025 Gle53 amg has only 14632 miles on it and this tire has already failed. I am surprised at the dry rot and i have a lot of tread left on this tire and the other three but it is no longer safe to drive anymore.
