Review Summary
The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires offer exceptional grip, handling, and braking performance in both dry and wet conditions, providing a thrilling and confidence-inspiring driving experience. Customers report a noticeable improvement in their vehicle's overall driving dynamics after switching to these tires. However, some drawbacks include increased noise, especially at higher speeds, and relatively quicker tread wear compared to all-season tires. A few customers also experienced durability issues, such as premature sidewall damage or tread separation.

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!
Thanks for the awesome feedback and your commitment to Michelin tires HappyCamperTX!

Very little road noise and great handling
I’m have great confidence when I’m rolling down the highway at 140mph with my Michelin tires.
Thanks for your review Shineon .

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.
Thanks so much for the kind words MTD1, we appreciate your loyalty.

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!
Thanks for the great feedback MidnghtZ! It is much appreciated!

Amazing tires in all conditions
My BMW M2 came with substandard tires from another company so after 10,000 miles I decided to upgrade to the Pilot Sport 4s and immediately noticed a difference in ride quality, noise, overall grip and handling. I recently drove in monsoon conditions and was amazed at the level of grip in an absolute downpour. I now have 5,000 miles on the 4s. I strongly recommend these tires for anyone seeking the best. I am a believer!!
We appreciate your business T-bone. We look forward to serving your tire needs in the future.

Wow, what a difference.
2015 Chevy SS. They make this 4000 lb four door feel like a light weight. Hooks off the light, great around a corner... Hands down the best I have ever had in the rain. I couldn't be happier with this tire. You guys did a great job with this one.
We appreciate your loyalty Nick. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

Transformative ride
To date, I've only had the OEM Bridgestone Potenza summer run-flats and Blizzaks for the winter on my 2013 BMW 335is. I took the plunge this week and had the new Pilot Sport 4S installed and it has transformed the driving experience. The ride is smoother, quieter and grippier. I also notice an improvement in fuel ecconomy. My only disappointment is that I suffered with the OEM tires for a couple years! A road trip is imminent!
From Zero to 4S
Great tires ! Now my Porsche feel much better. Tire Rack best place to buy and have your new tires installed.
We appreciate your business Roberto, and look forward to serving your tire needs in the future.

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!
