Bought the MPS4 to replace the ContiEcoContact that came as OEM, so most the comparison will be done against them, although it's not the same category really... The Michelins will probably wear faster (although I replaced my previous set of tires because of both being used for 40.000 kilometers, and as they started to feel worse in handling - even though they weren't worn out that much), but everything else is much better (aside from stiffness, which seems to be about the same, at least subjectively).

All in all, the MPS4 are great both on dry and wet, they handle very precisely (especially the corners!), and the braking distances are obviously better that with the Conti's Eco tires - literally, like driving a different car. On the weaker side, when hitting bumps (even the smaller road imperfections), they are a bit hard, both in the feel in the car, and on the ear. Also, not very silent on highways, but it's not a big deal.

All in all, a very good tire, that I would recommend, even if it does have a few flaws.

I've been running these for some time now and the rear tyres have finally worn out. For a performance car tyre on a rear wheel drive car, I've been really impressed with the wear rate of these tyres.

Grip in the summer was overall pretty good, my only complaint is that I haven't found them particularly progressive, the transition from grip to slide really quite quickly.

Compared to other tyres I've used, I found these to be quite disappointing in the wet in certain situations. Wet braking and resisting aquaplaning was good, but cornering grip in wet weather was extremely snappy, even at low speed and low revs, just pulling out of a greasy junction.

If you mainly drive in the the summer this is a good tyre but I wouldn't recommend for all weather use.

I had these on my car for 6 years before they started cracking to the point of the tyres losing air. There was still a lot of tread left, but they had to be replaced for safety reasons. The grip was very good in both wet and dry, and they are surprisingly comfortable for what they are, max performance tyres. They're not as grippy as the pilot sport 4s or super sport, which is to be expected, but for strictly street driving, they're hard to fault. I have had various toyo proxes, hankook s1 evo, bridgestone RE040, RE050, goodyear eagle F1, and none of them comes close to the ps4, at least to me. None of them lasted as long, and the michelin ps4 was just better overall.

Comparison Points:
Bridgestone Potenza Sport (OEM)
Falken Azenis FK510

The PS4 is a great allrounder. Having the best handling and grip in the wet from all my previous tires, it is a safe choice. The road feedback and dry handling was better on both my previously installed wheel types. The PS4 is comfortable from a damping perspective, but the tire noise is slightly higher than on both my previously used tire models. The PS4 is the best-wearing tire from the bunch - you can easily get two seasons, if not three out of one set. The downsides on the PS4 are most likely because of a slightly softer tire wall than the previously used tires. Although the PS4 is most likely the best allrounder tire, I'd prefer to get more dry road grip and better feedback from my next tires.

Bought these to replace a set of Dunlop SportMaxx RT and the PS4s were immediately superior in every way. I had them on the FN2 Civic Type R for over 4 years and approx 15,000 miles. They lasted really well IMO and the only reason for change was the PS4s had started cracking due to their age. I’m now on Michelin PS5s for over a year and approx 5k miles and I much prefer the PS4s.
Dry grip was always excellent and was progressive on the limit even during the winter months. Wet grip was also very good and gave me confidence. Noise; I will not say too much as I had the car stripped out for a significant time so my opinion wouldn’t be fair. Road feedback was fine, on the odd occasion I would push it on a corner I could feel how much grip I had and what the tyre was doing. I found the longevity brilliant and after trying out the PS5s I would rather swap the claimed longevity of the new model tyre for what I consider to be better wet and dry grip in the PS4.

Very soft sidewalls make it OK for comfort and crashness, but it feels more like a Grand Touring tyre as it deforms when you really go for Sporty driving.
Combined with the relatively stock suspension of my Ford Focus mk4 1.5 ecoboost, the car needs time to settle when cornering, so driving cannot be aggressive on mid speed sharp corners and therefore the tyre limit is not easy to approach in normal speeds.
The compound itself is of good quality, tyre is quiet and has good handling once it's warmed up a bit (heating up time is very short)
Tyre longevity is a BIG NO-NO. After 15k km the front tyres are half their original tread, even if most km are driven very conservatively.
I have been a fan of Pilot sports until gen2, but I cannot say this for 3 and 4 (non-S), in my opinion these are now GT tyres. Will not buy again.

Just had my 2nd set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 fitted To my BMW X1 as i was very impressed with outstanding rim protection.
However my new set has 3mm ( 1/4" ) less
rim protection which is very visible, I've emailed Michelin and sent photos of both sets of tyres and requested an explanation
however they have replied to say that they won't reply to my email, i shall choose another brand in future.

Excellent tyres, but quite expensive. Not best comfort on the road, but this is to be expected from sport oriented tyres.

Installed on a Honda CRV 1.6idtec 160 to compense the confort but little understeering of the vehicle
Mileage done 60500km with 21000km on the rear.
Pros> very good dry grip, very good aquaplanning resistance, good braking levels.
Cons: little bit sleepy on wet curves but very progressive and controllable, a little bit noisy
Roads of use: 50% Highway, 10% city, 40% mountain and normal roads.

Last very important point: These tyres keep very good capacities till the very legal limit at 1.6mmwhich is not the case for many other brands.
Mine are at 1.65mm and are still good on wet roads but I change them today.

From Malaysia here, this is my first time using performance tyre on a performance car (Honda Civic FC 1.5 TCP). For dry grip I would say no problem for speeding up to 205km/h. This tyre has a Z rating which means can go up to 240km/h safely. For wet grip, I am not brave enough to speed in the rain, the fastest I go in rain is 110-120km/h because I have bad experience or even trauma of Aquaplaning with my old car (Proton Saga 2011 made in Malaysia). Comfort aspect, I would say above average since this is a performance tyre, not an Economic or comfort tyre. Unfortunately, the downside/ disadvantage or weakness of this tyre is that It wears down pretty fast and lasted about 3 years only. Also, this model of tyre is relatively expensive in Malaysia (SouthEast Asia)

These tyre perform very well when they are new and when the weather is above around 10ºC. However on a cold day or when they are worn below around 4mm performance drops off a cliff. If they are worn and it is a cold damp day the car has next to no grip and is a real handful. I have rated the wear as poor as there is only around 3mm of useable tread if you value performance. Noise and comfort are good.

Saab 9-5 Aero 2002 Had these tires for the front wheels for around 24.000km (or 15.000 miles) until they were toast. Wear was mostly even, and they were pushed hard in corners and brakings from time to time, as I tend to drive fast, so I consider this mileage to be not great but good enough. I expected just a little more from them. They don't transmit sportiness, they feel a bit vague if they are not at the exact recommended pressure, but steering precision is good enough and I think they are, overall, recommendable , however surpassed by its successor, the PS5 which I already mounted now. Dry and wet general grip is very good, specially in dry. I only complain when moderatedly starting from still in heavy rain with not a so thick coat of water on the surface, they lose traction quickly. I even lost traction accelerating on third gear going uphill at around 70km/h full throttle. But in corners in the wet they never behaved badly and gave me confidence even within a hurry. Comfort wise they are just a bit noisy but very tolerable and not too dependant on the type of surface. I recommend this tyre if you can't find the PS5 for your wheels.
