NOT the greatest "All Season" tire

Good for summer/wet weather, but you should NOT use these in the extreme cold winter months we see in the Midwest. The rubber compound in these tires will harden and, potentially, crack.

bob27, Michelin Ultra High Performance Sport Summer tires use tread compounds that are optimized for maximum dry and damp grip in temperate conditions. As the temperature of the compound nears freezing, the grip level of the tire begins to degrade. Michelin does not recommend using UHP Sport Summer tires when temperatures drop below 40 degrees F or on snow and ice. At temperatures below 20 degrees F, Michelin UHP Sport Summer tires may develop surface cracks in the upper sidewall and tread area if flexed. Do not use, roll or drop Michelin UHP Sport Summer tires with temperatures below 20 degrees F. If tires have been cooled to 20 degrees F or less, let them warm up in a heated space to at least 40 degrees F before being installed or moving a vehicle on which they are installed. Do not apply heat or blow heated air directly on the tires. Always inspect tires before use. Never use a tire with freeze cracks, breaks or damage to the sidewall or tread. If in any doubt, please consult your local Michelin contact or call Michelin Consumer Care at 866-866-6605.

Too Delicate

I bought a new Mercedes S class 11/21. Since last Spring i have replaced three of the tires because of chuck holes. They are way too fragile for use in the midwest. I experienced one failure last spring and two others this month.

Pilot Sport 4s -AWESOME !

Upgraded from Primacy to Pilot 4S. Changed the entire character of the car. The car was fun as easily tossable on the Primacy tires, but the Pilot 4S tire significantly increased the overall performance. Turn in is particularly awesome.

PS4s on Porsche 911

PS4S on my 911 seem to be performing well. Quieter, with good grip in the dry. Haven't had the opportunity to try wet roads. Consider these tires for your 911.

Meeting Expecttions

Like all Michelin tires that I have purchased, they meet expectations. Sport Pilot AT 4S Installed on my 2012 Honda Accord they are quiet and drive true. On the Honda I don't require the performance I demand from Sport Pilots Michelins on Carrara.

Great performance but very fragile!

While these tires had excellent performance in dry and wet, they were too fragile, i had one go out due manufactuer defect. Then another another one go out from hitting pot hole.

Failed to withstand a flat head bolt

After 85 days, this tire took on a flathead bolt. The picture does not make sense. My local tire repair center patched the tire; however, I am alert for further problems.

Frrh, it is unfortunate that this occurred, especially with such a new tire. Road hazard injuries are not always repairable. Fortunately yours was.
