Great Traction Great Road Noise
Bought the PS4S at the beginning of summer with much excitement and after three balancing, two alignments I have concluded the price of traction is road noise and high frequency vibration. Super disappointed that these tires transmit so much road noise through the steering wheel that as much as I enjoy that these tires can hookup and handle 680HP, I have been looking forward to putting on my winters for a smoother ride. Missing my Super Sports.

XXXcellent road & track tire!
Put a set of Pilot Sport 4 S tires on my Corvette C6 this summer. Quieter on the street than I expected. On the track - wow! I pushed my 'Vette much harder on corners than I ever have before, and still feel like I haven't come close to driving these tires to their limit! Extremely solid traction and control. Can't imagine any tire that could do better.
Super, Brian57! Thanks for taking the time to submit your comments.

AMAZING TIRE!
I’ve had the PS4S’ installed for a few months now and what a difference in performance. The grip is unreal compared to my previous max performance tires. They’re great in the rain as well. The most impressive quality, to me, is how much smoother and quieter they are. This is just an amazing tire!
Quiet
I expected excellent grip but was surprised by how quiet the 4S is. As a point of reference, previous tires include PS3, DWS06, ContiSportContact 3
Excellent Handling, low noise, great comfort
There is no need to compromise on a summer tire anymore. The PS4S tire is no doubt the industry standard. Changed the complete feel of my car when i put these on. After 8000 miles, very little tread has worn. These tires also keep noise levels to a minimum, and provide the same comfort (in some cases more) of all season performance tires.
Thanks, victor, for the positive comments.

Excellent handling!
I purchased the 4S at the beginning of summer 2019. I was very happy with the added tire performance, handling and exceptional tire grip. I drive a modified 2017 Chevy SS (Sport Sedan). My satisfaction with these tires was not diminished because my warranty was reduced to 15,000 miles since I use staggered sizes front and rear. I drive fast and corner hard! And I enjoy beating youngsters in their modified cars!
Amazing Traction
I own a 2019 BULLITT Mustang with a Stage 2 Whipple Supercharger and 825 HP. I spent a great deal of time researching and asking automotive people in the know what tire I should have on my car for when I went on the race track at AREA 27 in Oliver, BC. Time and again I was told that there was a reason why Ford put Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on you high performance Bullitt. Well everyone was absolutely correct. I pushed my BULLITT to the limit the entire day and the Pilot Sport 4s Michelins gave me everything I could ask for, grip, traction in the corners, predictability, feel and ride. A WIN, WIN for me and my BULLITT!!!
Thank you for the positive comments, Kenard, and also for your commitment to Michelin tires.

Exceptional
Pilot Sport 255 40ZR17 who would put such a tire on an old 60 muscle car. So glad I did, I drive hard corner hard and this tire performance is Exceptional to any I have used in the past. Sure I have made suspension upgrades and hope to get some tack time in. I have logged over 6000 miles and I am impressed overall, quiet predictable ride and cornering, wet performance is not great but I knew that buying a tire like this. @ 140 mph + this tire is very smooth and predictable. Hard acceleration and braking grip is superior as well.
So glad to hear of your great experience with Michelin tires.

Not what I expected from Michelin.
Bought two sets of Pilot Sport 4S’s and on my wife’s 335is the rears came apart with the tread separating from the sidewall on the inside of both rear tires. Alignment is perfect, proper tire pressures maintained at all times and my wife drives the car properly and carefully. I don’t understand why this lapse in quality occurred.

Love these Tires
Running 225/40/18 PS4S on my 2017 VW Jetta Wolfsburg (Canada) in combination with Eibach Sportline springs. This combination has increased the cornering ability tenfold, tire adhesion is excellent and highly predictable, I have not stopped talking about these tires to anyone who'll listen! Excellent product!!
Thanks for the great feedback, halifaxbimmertech! We appreciate you!
