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...

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!

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.

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!

Great tire! I see why Chevy made this factory equipment.

C8 with Z51 package came with these tires from the factory. I've been very happy with their overall performance for driving around town, road trips, Auto-X, and even a couple track days. I'm in Florida so the cold weather limitations don't really apply to me. My only complaint is that at interstate speeds on certain surfaces they can be noisy. Other than that 10/10 great tire would buy again.

Excellent handling!

I purchased the 4S at the beginning of summer 2019. I was very happy with the added tire performance, handling and exceptional tire grip. I drive a modified 2017 Chevy SS (Sport Sedan). My satisfaction with these tires was not diminished because my warranty was reduced to 15,000 miles since I use staggered sizes front and rear. I drive fast and corner hard! And I enjoy beating youngsters in their modified cars!

Terrible Tires

I had these tires installed on my 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The road noise was ridiculous loud and the ride quality was terrible. I could not get any traction between 0 and 80 mph. At 80 mph on the interstate if I floor the gas the car slides all over the interstate. I tried different amounts of air pressures between 35 psi and 50 psi and nothing worked. I used these tires for 2 weeks on days between 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit and could never get any proper traction. I do not recommend these tires for any Hellcat drivers. I did not use these tires under any race conditions. Only driving around town and on the interstate.

225/19 from France 255/19 from USA

Service Adviser had to explore several distributors before he could find staggered set for my M3. We both got a chuckle when we discovered the front tires were from France and the Rear Tires were from the USA. Happy with the sidewall aesthetics. First ten miles have been fine @ 55F Of course wouldn't you know that I change my summer tires and now we have snow on the way to South. Winters late hurrah 2017

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.

AMAZING TIRE!

I’ve had the PS4S’ installed for a few months now and what a difference in performance. The grip is unreal compared to my previous max performance tires. They’re great in the rain as well. The most impressive quality, to me, is how much smoother and quieter they are. This is just an amazing tire!
