Jaw Dropping

I purchased these tires for my '14 Audi S5 and am blown away at the performance. My car had been modded so it's putting down close to 500HP and these tires have literally transformed the way it handles in the corners. Audi's in general (as any Audi Enthusiast can tell you) are plagued by understeer and cornering performance suffers. Initial I upgraded the H&R Springs and Trak+ spacers which made a big difference and I was happy for a while with the stock Dunlop Maxx GTs that came stock on the car. However, once I put these on this summer - it's like I did the next level upgrade - and now my confidence in corners is through the roof. I cannot recommend these tires any higher and I am an avid car enthusiast and tried many high performance models. Don't even think about purchasing another make and model. Buy with confidence and watch you car's handling transform!

Great grip

These tires are exceptional. Coming from another OEM tire and moving to these, I was hesitant at first. Would it change the car dynamics? My first order of business was to improve the wet traction, as I often found myself in rainy weather and was not entirely comfortable on the other OEM tires. They match the performance and handling, and in fact, I have much better traction now and have driven the same road with both tires. I can say that I 100% agree these are the best setup for my car.

Outstanding tire

I recently purchased a new vehicle. The tires it came with handled fine but were exceptionally noisy. I first tried the Pilot Sport A/S 3, which were much better, but research suggested the 4S would be quieter, and it was, considerably so. Beyond that, the 4S offer incredible handling and braking performance (both wet and dry) over the A/S 3S, so, if you can live with a bit shorter life, get the 4S. Super happy here!

Very Impressed

These tires were standard on my 2018 Mustang GT PP package car. When test driving the car I was amazed at how quiet the the tires were in cabin at highway speeds and how well they felt over bumps and turns as I felt they were gripping and providing good feedback of the surfaces I was traversing. After 3300 miles I'm still enjoying the confidence the tires and car provide me in both wet and dry conditions and pavement types either asphalt or concrete I can apply heart pumping accelerations and maintain sure poise.

Awesome!

Just replaced the the P Zeros that came with my 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera with these tires. What a difference! Much better ride and they’re much quieter on all road surfaces. I do not track my car, so I can’t compare the two on the track. But I’m told that they handle as well if not better than the P Zeros.

Great performance Street/road tires

After using PS2 for years, I switched to the PS4s. The 4s appear to have softer sidewalls which helps reduce road noise, while retaining the traction and handing. I can still experience the excitement of twisty back roads and exit ramps performance without the Mrs complaining about the road noise.

Pilot sport 4S

My car is a 2019 Tesla S Performance. Love the tires, but after 8000 miles went to have a nail removed and the tire shop said I need 4 new tires and “for a car with those miles I should have more tread”?? 8000 miles and new tires already OUCH. I have an appt with Tesla tomorrow.

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.

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 Tire

Thankfully these came on my new 911 that I ordered (you can't specify tire brand) - much preferred over the Pirellis Zeros that typically come on new Porsches. On my previous Boxster, I switched from Pirelli to Michelin Pilots and was pleased. Note: I don't track my cars.
