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.

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

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.

Poor quality and disappointing
My 2025 Gle53 amg has only 14632 miles on it and this tire has already failed. I am surprised at the dry rot and i have a lot of tread left on this tire and the other three but it is no longer safe to drive anymore.

Durability, safety, and dry rot.
Inner edge of the tires have severely worn out in addition to dry rot. The inner edge wear is not noticeable unless you happen to have the tires turned outward. As a result, it is a safety issue. Luckily, I saw the damage at 21,000 miles but disappointed that although the rest of tires have a lot o thread left, they are no longer safe.

Perform but wear very quickly
I have owned these tire for just under a year and 8000 miles. I got a small nail and took the car in to fix it. My tire tread is reported to be 4/32. I have never even done a burn out. Just drove my Porsche normally. So bit bummed to be replacing them at about the one year mark and I figure 9000 miles.

Aston Martin Vantage
Michelin customer of almost 30 years. PS4S is a wonderful tire and perfect for the GT car that is the Vantage. Superb feel, handling, noise and good traction in the wet.

So good in the dry, really good in the wet.
There's probably better or more engaging summer performance tyres out there, sure. But this is 90-95% as good in the dry but when it rains or is damp this is so much better. While I had PS4Ses are good for heavier more powerful cars, I decided to switch over to PS4 for my lightweight Alfa Romeo 4C. So far, I'm happier with the PS4S for the 4C.

Tires
I purchased these tiers 4 mounts ago. They are already build in the back. I have a wide body charger. I have not done a single burnout and I haven’t done any donuts. So I brought to the place I bought them and they said I was going everything that I wasn’t doing now I’m having to buy new back tires after them only having 4k miles on the ones needing replaced!!!
