Transformed my Vehicle

I bought these late last summer to replace my OEM summer tires. It instantly brought my car to life and made it more capable than i thought it was. No slips no fuss, just instant grip and off i go. The wet handling is confidence inspiring. I know i will be swapping all of my Summer rubbers to the PS4S's going forward. Would and have recommended to anyone looking for summer's.

Worth Every Penny

Bought these a month ago for my Mazdaspeed3 and my car has never felt better. These tires bring so much control to my car, perfect for summer drives when you’re having a little “fun”. I was very surprised by how good they felt in the rain, with my previous tires I had to be a little cautious when it got wet but with these I don’t have that problem. I would definitely recommend these if you’re looking for top notch summer tires for any sports car.

Excellent tire

I bought these tires for my M240i. Swapped out all season pirelli run flat tires for these and I’m so glad I did. These tires are amazing in wet/dry conditions. I go around corners in high speeds in confidence. Also the ride is much more comfortable now. These tires grip, grip and keep gripping the road. It’s a good looking tire as well and I love how the sidewall is flat closing the gap between tire and fender. Thanks Michelin for making these tires!

More than just superior handling

I switched to the PS4S from an OEM run-flat, high performance summer tire of a different brand. We went on a 1,400 kilometre trip soon afterward that included western mountain roads, where the Michelins were outstanding. They took our sports car to a new level! Bonus: they ride much better, transmit less road noise, and do not ‘tramline’ (lurch into pavement grooves and sags). They were well worth the price.

unsatisfactory

I just replaced the Goodyear tires in our MB S class and I'm shocked to tell you how noisy these tires are! I just drove 150-200 miles and I think I'll take it out ... at this point I'm looking for another option and I'll probably test two or three variants and as soon as I'm satisfied with the performance I'll find it I'll warn my friends to avoid making the same costly mistake as me. On the other S Class car I used the Yokohama brand and they didn't look as noisy as the much acclaimed Michelin Pilot Sport 4S! I will also test SP SPORTMAXX GT which seems to be very quiet and smooth ... even other brands seems to offer good variants.

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!

EXCELLENT!

These Pilot 4S tires are nothing short of incredible! The tires that came on my WRX were Dunlop's, and I didn't realize how bad they were until I got these Michelin's. It took some miles to get used to them, but now I wouldn't buy any other tire. Keep in mind that these are summer tires. And they mean that. Once they heat up, the car is on a rail! Another note.... DO NOT drive with these tires below about 30 degrees. Not only will it ruin the tires, they are a totally different monster in the cold. With all that said, YOU WILL LOVE THESE TIRES!

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.

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?

Horrible quality tire

I am not sure if I just have a bad batch but I purchased my car new in July with these tires on it and it has been garage kept in a conditioned garage. As of monday I started noticing the tires were dry rotting and had cracks all through them. Less than 3,000 miles on the car at that.. I contacted the dealership and was told there isn't much they can do its a Michelin problem... Go figure...
