Review Summary
The tires offer excellent performance, handling, and comfort, with great traction, minimal road noise, and a smooth driving experience, especially on twisty roads and high-performance vehicles. They are described as "sticky" and "responsive", providing a high level of confidence and control even at high speeds. However, some users experienced premature wear, tread separation, and noisy rides, particularly on less powerful vehicles. The tires may not be suitable for all drivers and vehicles, and customers should carefully consider their needs before purchasing.

10 Year Old Design!? Seriously!?
Michelin FAN Boy Here! If it was 2020, this would be a 5 star rating. But it is approaching 2027!v This is coming on to being a 10 year old tire - crazy! I needed a new set of tires for my 911. I was about to purchase a 3rd set of PS4S tires. But I then had the opportunity to drive on PSS5s. SHOCKED! I then realized how out of date these 4S tires are. There is even competition now catching up. The OEM spec versions are still good but could be GREAT!! People are still giving these tires 5 stars because they don't know what Michelin could do in 2022...until you ride on a set PSS5s and take them to track day. I am a huge Michelin fan, understand this! But I am a quite disappointed that Michelin made the best in Jan 2017 and keeps selling it because they can, instead of raising the bar when they could, and should! In car racing, when you are winning a race, you don't slow down to win less! You go as fast as you can and win to break the record when it is feasible and safe to do that! It is an attitude that Michelin should have in this category of tire! Don't go drive a set of PSS5s, you will suddenly see what is being held back and you will want to downgrade your recent ratings of this tire. Where is the PSS6 for everyone? I decided to hold off on a new set of tires for a bit longer. I might just go purchase a set of Conti Sport 2 to cancel out of this race to win but slow down mentality! But I do have to say - wow -what a great tire the 4S was to have lasted this long and still beat out the competition! That there is no denial!

Just bought my third set! The best there is!
These tires are the best available for the Corvette. I live in Arizona so they stay on year round. I got 22,000 miles out of my last set, and put on a new set today. I could have bought other brands, but these are best in traction, stopping, even wet weather performance. Durability is reasonable, and I appreciate that the price hasn't really changed in the last 4 years. They are also made in the USA, which I appreciate.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accommodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tire line may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to under inflation 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 15" diameter tire on a 15.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 19" diameter tire on a 19.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 22" diameter tire on a 22.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 24" diameter tire on a 24.5" rim.
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. does not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. Exceeding the safe, legal speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
W-Speed Rated Sizes:
| Maximum Speed (km/h) | 190 | 200 | 209 | 219 | 230 | 240 | 249 | 259 | 270 |
