I put a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires on my F-150, and they completely changed the truck. The grip is insane. From a dig or a roll, power actually sticks instead of spinning. Cornering feels sharp and planted, almost like a sports car, and the floaty truck feel is gone. Ride quality is still smooth, road noise is low, and braking is noticeably stronger. For a street truck build, this is one of the best upgrades you can make. 10/10 — highly recommend.

quality sucks
I had one set of tires and they got excessive inner shoulder wear, alignment was checked 3 times and was spot on. Tire is very sensitive to tire pressure and needs to be over inflated to prevent excessive wear. I got fed up and purchased set of Pilot Sport 5 which i had delivered from Europe. This is much better tire but quality control is lacking. One has excessive road force which can be felt between 62-75 mph, BTW PS4S is made in USA. Looks loke will be switching to other brand but finding good size in sizes I need is impossible

Horrible durability
Bought these tires from a smaller shop back in July of 2024 brand new. Maybe have 6 thousand miles On them and starting to show wires on the inside. Car was always stored in climate control environment and never driven harshly. This is my second set of these tires. Same issue. I had these on both front and rear previously, didn’t same thing. I switched out the fronts for a different brand and replaced the rears along with an alignment. Now the rears which are the pilot sport 4 are wearing prematurely again. Sadly I think it’s time to switch brands.

Replacing new car tires
I purchased a new z4 m40i 2 yrs ago. The car is not tracked at all. Isn’t driven in rain or snow. Garage kept. Just had her 2 yr scheduled service and was told the tires need replacing ( feathering & ware). Car has 8700 miles. Why should I put the same tire back on when I replace them? Thank you

Great for Florida Driving
First impressions of these tires are extremely positive. Coming off of the OEM Dunlops that were provided with my WRX the comparison is night and day. Far and away much more comfortable while still delivering confidence in corners.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required.
