Nothing Short of Amazing

I bought these for my E46 M3 about a year ago, and these are hands down the best performing tires I've ever ran. The level of grip and confidence they give you under extreme cornering situations is amazing. Even in the rain they provide amazing grip, and it can be hard to get the rear end to want to slide. The only downside I would say is that these tires really don't last long at all. I've put only about 12,000 miles on mine, and all four tires are almost bald. But I also drive the car hard here and there, so that doesn't help :)

Exceptional

Pilot Sport 255 40ZR17 who would put such a tire on an old 60 muscle car. So glad I did, I drive hard corner hard and this tire performance is Exceptional to any I have used in the past. Sure I have made suspension upgrades and hope to get some tack time in. I have logged over 6000 miles and I am impressed overall, quiet predictable ride and cornering, wet performance is not great but I knew that buying a tire like this. @ 140 mph + this tire is very smooth and predictable. Hard acceleration and braking grip is superior as well.

Top Performance

I bought these these tires for a new set of rims that are on my BMW M2 Competition. The tire performance of the 4S is improved over the OEM Pilot Sports. The driving dynamics and stability at the track exceeded expectations. Excellent wear characteristics with good feedback.

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?

Simply the High Mark of Excellence In Summer Tires!

Recently Installed a new set of Pilot Sport 4 S Tires on our 2017 Dodge Charger SRT Daytona and they have made the car come alive in so many ways, to extremely good Dry and Wet traction to ultra quick breaking and performance handling! These Tires are very quite and are the worlds ultimate out on the interstate highways as we traveled from Minneapolis Minnesota to Wyoming in the ultimate ride with these tires!

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.

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.

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.

Lots of Road Noise

I bought this 2 weeks ago to replace them with my Goodyear run flats due to the high road noise. The handling and performance of the car improved but the road noise is the same ! Specially the rear tires! Not sure if all of them would be the same or only my set has this problem.

Completely Changed the Driving Dynamic of my Benz

I’m always amazed at how tires can completely change the driving dynamic of a car. When I purchased my Mercedes-Benz a year ago it came with the original OEM run-flat tires which were absolutely horrible. They gave such a harsh and noisy ride which one wouldn’t expect from a luxury car. However after replacing all 4 tires with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S it now drives incredibly smooth and quiet. I feel like I have a brand new vehicle. This is how I wanted it to drive from the beginning. The handling is more predictable and solid. I even feel secure and sure-footed when driving in the rain. The thought of trading it in for a newer model crossed my mind a few times prior to getting the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S but now I’ve decided to hold on to it because it drives so well!
