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.

The best of the best!

Honestly, I have been waiting to replace the OEM Pirelli's with a set of Super Sports or PS2s since I purchased my car. Fast forward a couple of years and now I finally had the chance last week. Luckily the PS4S were available and I just love them! Granted this is not the first set of high performance Michelins, I've tried the PS2 N2/N3 and the PS4S on my other vehicles. But having these on RS has been brilliant as they really transfer the power and agility of the engine and the all wheel drive system to the road so effortlessly. Rain or shine they bring a smile to my face after every drive so far. They are not only quieter, more compliant and more predicatable than the Pirelli's but they also feel and look good too!

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.

Great Traction Great Road Noise

Bought the PS4S at the beginning of summer with much excitement and after three balancing, two alignments I have concluded the price of traction is road noise and high frequency vibration. Super disappointed that these tires transmit so much road noise through the steering wheel that as much as I enjoy that these tires can hookup and handle 680HP, I have been looking forward to putting on my winters for a smoother ride. Missing my Super Sports.

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!

Amazing Tires for Reliablity & Safety

I've always enjoyed putting Michelin tires on my vehicles as they are reliable and provide traction and stopping power. Hope there will be a promo in the future that will allow me to afford them when ready for a new set of 265/30/19 93Y. Thanks for putting out an amazing tire product Michelin!

Not a max performance tire, streets on only!

Got this Pilot Sport 4S on new BMW. Tires were good on the street, but couldn't hold coulple autocross events. Wait, this supposed to be a Max Performance Summer tire?! I only have 2700 miles on brand new car and tires are gone! Actually, not drivable at all as you can see on the picture.

Gregory, we're sorry to see the tire in this condition. We would recommend an inspection of the tires by an authorized Michelin retailer. Have the dealer contact us with the inspection results, and our team can get involved.

The Best all around tire

I've had the Pilot Sport 4S on my BMW 1M for about 3 months. These are outstanding. I was particularly impressed by the incredible performance and road holding in the rain. Too bad they don't make these in 285 or 295s otherwise I would've bought them for my 911 4S (would've been match made in heaven)

Lots of Road Noise

I bought this 2 weeks ago to replace them with my Goodyear run flats due to the high road noise. The handling and performance of the car improved but the road noise is the same ! Specially the rear tires! Not sure if all of them would be the same or only my set has this problem.

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.
