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.

>> 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 |
