Fuel economy not as good as expected
running OEM Michelin tires on my hybrid vehicle and was averaging 55 plug mpg over 3 years (summers only). When I bought this Pilot Sport 4, the ride is good however the fuel economy went down 10%.. now averaging 50 mpg. I have gone 6 weeks on these new tires and put in 3000 km but no sign of better economy. I have better results with my Michelin Ice 3 so.. not sure what to say. Maybe the tread is too agressive and is not matched to hybrid vehicle performance on rolling resistance. I used to do tire testing for fuel economy and michelin was an all star in the 1980's. Oh well.
Retired fella, thanks for the review. Regarding the reduction in fuel economy, new tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires. As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases. Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.

PS4S - Great for track and street
bought the tires last summer 2020 and been perfect for street tires. words of cautions. - first 100 km, the tires feel like hockey puck. only after heat cycle aka after around 150 - 200 km of driving, you can feel the stickiness of the tires on street on the track in CTMP/ Mosport , I need to cycle of track run on normal speed to warm uo before going high speed.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S - best tires
I have been a long time Michelin summer tire customer starting with the Pilot Super Sport model. I have used these on Audi A4, BMW 335i and FR-S. I have been using the Pilot Super Sport 4S on Mercedes SLK55, Jaguar XFR and Range Rover Sport. I have tried other tires including Pirelli PZero, but prefer the Michelin for the handling in wet/dry, cornering and less noise. I would recommend these tires to others.
Excellently great grip in wet and cold
Performing well as expected
Amazing much better performance than the super sports that where fitted. The working temp range is much better with these.
Totally changed the handling of the Polo Gti. So much more confidence in the wet and dry over the Bridgestone S001's
Very good grip as expected but far noisier than the original tyres. The car has lost it's refinement in exchange for the grip. I suppose you can't have it all.
Golf R32 not an R. These tyres are great and handle well in all sorts of weather conditions. Would certainly recommend them.
Very well with even wear and good performance in all weathers
