The car came originally fitted with Michelin Latitude Sport 3, Tried Continental PremiumContact 6 & SportContct 5 & Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance SUV, totaled over 90,000 kilometers.
Comfort/ride quality wise, These Pilot Sport 4 tires are the most comfortable under the same tire pressure/road condition, possibly due to softest sidewall among all the models. PC6s are a bit firmer, Goodyear feels a bit "bouncy", LS3s and CSC5s are total disaster.
Noise wise, Goodyears are the most quiet and low pitch, PS4s and LS3s is a bit louder, CSC5s and PC6s are very noisy and higher pitch.
Wet grip and dry grip among all of them are sufficient for everyday use, Goodyear do provide lower dry grip when driven hard, but with this 2.3ton SUV, I'd say it's not that noticeable.
Handling wise, softer tires do lean a bit more, and feel a bit sluggish turning in to corners, but in my case it's absolutely worth it for the comfort, and I'm usually running lower pressure at 34psi rather than the recommended 38psi.
Wear wise, most of them worn out between 25,000~30,000km, CSC5 and Goodyears were changed before they worn out due to complicated reasons.
Might do an end of life review about these PS4s to share how they ages and the wear situation, I'll be pretty satisfied if they last over 25,000km due to softer compound, sightly low tire pressure and heavy weight of the car.
