FINALLY! I just fitted a new set of 225/40 R18 Michelin PS4S to my GTI Performance and I had them on the car for roughly 450 km currently. Remember I placed this order on March 30 in 2022. Yeah, 2022! After some endless wait until October 8th delivered to dealer, and I use to fit winters in October, no summer tyres. On a sidenote: DOT 2222, so these American produced tyres were made two months after my order . . . . Somewhat facetiously, isn't it?
These PS4S replaced my former PSS in HN spec (Hyundai i30N). So, what do they look? Much wider, with a way better rim protection compared to the PSS HN. The sidewalls are almost straight on VW 7.5" wheels. Very pleased to lay my eyes on. My former PSS HN looked like a 205. How do they feel? Stiff. I didn't exactly expect them to be harsher compared to the PSS, but they really are. With ~3.5 mm my former PSS felt more forgiving if not just softer. These PS4S ride like 19" instead of 18" and I didn't expect that. What I much longed for was wet grip. The PSS HN isn't an adept for wet performance. We had some coolish rainy days (slightly below +10°C). In a nutshell, this PS4S delivered! Just what you'd expect from a contemporary 'higher performance' tyre.

Bought two of these for the rear wheels of my BMW 535d after previously having Pilot Sport 4. I am regretting this now as I get a lot of wheel spin when pulling away in damp or wet weather, I never had this with the Sport 4. It's too early to say what the wear rate is going to be but because of this constant wheel spinning, I'm not expecting to get that many miles from them. As a comparison, I got 30k from the Sport 4.

Too soft for the x5m50d very disappointed with the back tyres didn't last 7 months

I received a set of 4 Michelin Part no. 89946 245/40ZR18 MIC A/S 4 ZP Pilot Sport Tires in Oct, 2022. They were replacement for another set of defect Pirelli RFT Tires with rough ride problems. After trying to drive them with bad balancing evident, I took them to a second dealer who tried 3 times to balance them, including a forced pressure balancing, and in their report, said to return them to the original dealer which I did. After another forced pressure balancing by the original dealer, they were taken off and a warranty claim initiated with Michelin. Michelin failed in addressing the tires defects and issued no new tires or refund. Both Pirelli and Michelin appear to have quality control issues on tires built during the 2020-22 pandemic. Quality control is not what it used to be. I am contemplating at this point a small claims court action against all involved. I will never buy Michelin again.

Factory set tyre comes with my Civic 2020, on 30,000 km tyre started to crack. But still manage to use till 60,000 km in very bad condition. Performance is good but can't last long.

The other tires I've had on the car are Pirelli P zeros and Conti DWS. The PS4S works better on the RS5 than the Pirelli or Conti in all conditions I've driven them in. I was surprised by the other reviews talking about the lack of feel because these have given what was generally a fairly numb steering feel its best feel so far.

After having these tyres on my car for over a year new im totally sold by them. Theyre great and grippy, especially noticable in the rainy/ damp conditions. I've done around 6-8xxx miles in them and the rear tyres on my car are basically new, however fronts on the inner edges are approaching the wear markers so will need changing soon, and have melted the slits on the innder egdes together. This however might be something to do with my trip to scotland to do the NC500 which really made the tyres stand out giving my tons of confident to throw the car into the corners just knowing they will stick.

I have OEM Michelin Run Flats Sport Cup 4S on my Corvette C8. Regular driving these are fine. They are DANGEROUS for track use though. These tires are UNSAFE and have batch defects in my opinion and people should be informed before someone gets hurt. I followed Chevrolet's track prep guide for the car (that says this tire can be sued on track). I have been on tracks for 15 years and have never had tires delaminate like these and fall apart after 1 session of a track day. I called Michelin and there customer service tech said it wasn't a defect or covered. He pretty much said it was my fault and never even made the time to look at the images I had. Michelin did not stand behind their product. I will NEVER buy a Michelin tire again. Sad.

I have these(245-40x19f, 275-35x19 r) on a 370z, which is a 3300lb car. Wet and dry traction along with noise and comfort have been excellent. The handling responsiveness has been a little too vague and the impulse response of the tires seems sluggish, which I attribute to the very flexible sidewalls. The one characteristic I'd like to bring out is the phenomenally low tread wear on the tires. I measured the tread depth and tweaked the inflation pressures at 1k mile intervals. I haven't been able to rotate the tires but the tread wear has been perfectly uniform across the tread on all tires. The tites now have about 37k miles on them now and are averaging slightly under 50% for remaining tread life. The tires started with 9/32” tread depth and the fronts are now at 5/32", with the rears at 4/32".

Model s p85 (rwd 450hp, 600nm ,2.1 tonne) A night and day difference to the stock 19"245/45 Goodyear rs-a2 all round . Switched to a 20" ps4s staggered 275/35 . Which was the perfect balance between grip, asthetetics , pot hole protection and comfort compared to the 21"s . Slightly less efficient and slightly more noise than stock ,which was to be expected with wider tires . Rears wore faster , have another 1000mi probably , fronts 2-3k more but overall very happy with them .

If you want sporty tires for the road that you could take to the track every now and then, these are the tires for you. My 2018 BRZ Limited is a 'slow' car, but it's also one of the most fun, agile, and precise pieces of machinery I've ever had the pleasure of driving, truly a 'poor man's Porsche'. When choosing a replacement set of tires for the drift-tires it came with, I wanted a set of tires that enhanced the characteristics and dynamics of the car. Driving on a Highway with a posted speed limit of 85MPH, I can change lanes in an instant (and I mean an instant) like the path was preordained. Just an impulse-like tug of the wheel left or right and returning to center just as quickly, having completed the maneuver in a fraction of a second, I'm still driving perfectly straight in my new lane with no oversteer understeer or roll/flex. I simply transport myself from one lane to the other. It's truly a magical feeling when your car does exactly what you want, no more...no less... which is made possible by giving it the best foundation to work with. Driving on curvy county roads and being able to completely ignore the 25 or 35MPH advisory signs that recommend a 'safe' speed for tight turns, while maintaining a constant 70MPH is sublime. I couldn't do that with my old car nor it's All-Season tires, I would've flown off the road into the ditch. Purchasing the Pilot Sport 4S tires was the best decision I made next to buying my little Subi. I traded in a more practical daily-driver Ford Fusion Sport to go back to a manual trans that I could enjoy, with a grin stretching ear to ear, ever single day I sit behind the wheel. I understand that the Pilot Sport 5 are out now, but if these are still available when it's time to replace, I will 110% get the 4S again without question. For me and my vehicle, these are perfection and there's no reason to "funk" with perfection. Of course, same tires perform differently depending on the vehicle and conditions, but I think it's safe to say if you won't be disappointed with these amazing tires. The only hard data I can provide is with regards to treadwear. (Measurements done with a digital caliper of .02mm +/- tolerance.) -Length of time Owned: 16 Months -Original Tread Depth: 6.45mm -Miles Driven: 8,500 (Mixed City/Highway/County Road) -Number of Rotations: 1 -Front Current Tread Depth: 4.94 -Rear Current Tread Depth: 5.51 -Driving Style: Spirited (not reckless abandonment and no burnouts, but a few minor drifts on occasion...) Side Note: Do Not Use for Ice/Snow, they are absolutely useless. I figure this should be common knowledge at this point, being a Summer-tire and all, but just-in-case...you never know what kind of rock someone's been forced to live under. Suffice it to say, you'll need a separate set of Winter tires or at least something all-Season, like the Pilot Sport A/S, for Winter conditions. These kinds of tires may as well be slicks drenched in oil when driven on icy roads.

Skoda Superb 162tsi wagon (2019) - swapped to PS4s for more grip form the stock Pirelli P7. Corning and general back road blasting is so much better. They are mighty on the brakes and plenty of confidence they’ll stick and are predictable when they run out of grip. Sadly my set haven’t lasted long at 26,000km my first pair I had (admittedly on the front to replace two damaged tires) only did 18,000km. Note I drive plenty of course chip country B roads which might not help. I’d love to go for another set but will punt for the PS5 to hopefully get more K’s out of them.
