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!

Great tires for a real performance vehicle.

Great tires, definitely lets my vehicle push its limits, had PZero’s before, the wet and cold traction is far superior, once the tires are warmed up, they perform similar under optimal conditions. I don’t understand why people with baseline cars are buying these tires. You’re Mitsubishi/Mazda/Lexus isn’t powerful enough to justify these… Base line cars don’t need high performance tires, what clowns…

Surprising Failures

I've been a solid Michelin tire fan for almost 9 years. They are the only brand I've really come to trust. But now, I'm starting to lose that trust. I've been running Pilot Super Sports since early 2012, buying both Super Sports for summer & had a set of their All Seasons for winter, going to the Pilot® Sport A/S 3+ in 2016. ALL of their tires performed flawlessly, with great handling, a nice "feel", & long life. Then, even though I had a fairly new set of PSS's, the PS4's came out, so I got a set & had them mounted up & put them on. But now, with under 15,000 miles of use, and 6 to 7 32'nds of tread still there, there are problems. My shop guy who rotates my tires every 3/4 months is telling me that the bands inside 3 of the 4 tires are separating. He's shown me the tires & the uneven surface is easy to see. I haven't felt anything odd or heard any strange sounds though. I'm absolutely baffled by this as I've never any issues with a Michelin tire before. I don't know if it's just a bad set, or a deeper issue. Having read another review here mentioning the same kind of issue, it could be either one, or both. I love Michelin, but am not sure what to make of this.

Michelin Pilot SPORT 4S AMAZING WET AND DRY PERFORMANCE

AMAZING WET AND DRY PERFORMANCE. BEST TIRES MY Volvo S60R had on. It is like my car is glued to the road and rides on a track. Handling is superior at any speed or road condition during the summer period. I do not use these tires during the winter time. After 2 summer drivings I would purchase them again and I would not think about any other tire on the market. ; As an additional bonus the tire on my car looks great thanks for all the detailed work on the sidewalls. Thanks Michelin for putting on the market this superior tire.

Stones stick in the tread and damage the tires

I replaced the tires with the All Season verison after 75 miles. Tires pick up small stones and the stones leave holes in the tread when removed. The all season version don't pick up stones and are perfect for street driving. These are track tires and shouldn't be sold for street use.

HORRIBLE Tires for the Track!

I take my '15 911 Turbo to the track 4-5 times a year. I drive in the "advanced group" at these events. The 4Ss I purchase failed in 3 track events. The outside edges of the tires delaminated to the cord! Michelin would not honor their warranty, even though these tires are advertised for occasional use at the track.

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!

THE ULTIMATE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRE!

I am not one just to skimp on tires to save some dollars or whatever “looks cool” I do my reasearch (i.e. reviews, videos, tech speech’s, etc.). After all what is the point of having a performance vehicle if you don’t go for the best in performance tires? The Michelin Pilot Sport 4s are THOSE TIRES! These things are excellent in every way. You notice the grip (and especially in the turns) right off the bat. The sidewallls look outstanding and the other edge channels to me, resemble small lightning bolts which is just another cool thing about these tires. Much quieter and smoother than other performance tires I’ve owned in the past. I’m beyond satisfied with these tires! If you’re on the fence about these, do yourself a great thing and get them! Great in turns, keep you from hydroplaning in the rain and very responsive. You get what you pay for and these are worth it. After all they are Michelin’s. And come with major Kung Fu grip! Drive with peace of mind and confidence with these! Thanks for making a great tire an excellent tire!

Started out great

I was very excited to place these rather expensive tires, (245/40R20 Pilot Sport 4S) on my 2015 Chevy Impala LTZ. Performance and ride were fantastic for the first 2000 miles. Then they started to get to get noisy, and I mean very LOUD! They make so much noise now, you can crank the Bose sound system to 10, and you can still hear them roaring! Handling is still exceptional, but the tire noise ruins the experience. I had these tires checked, for air pressure, alignment, rotated them, and still they seem to get louder, every mile I put on them. I've got less than 3000 miles on these tires and can't wait to replace them. What a shame, I love the way they handle, but it was a costly mistake.

Love these Tires

Running 225/40/18 PS4S on my 2017 VW Jetta Wolfsburg (Canada) in combination with Eibach Sportline springs. This combination has increased the cornering ability tenfold, tire adhesion is excellent and highly predictable, I have not stopped talking about these tires to anyone who'll listen! Excellent product!!
