Fitted to an XJR6. Much improved ride over my old 40 profile tyres and no tramlining. Don't know about wear rate yet but previous Michelins on other cars have performed very well. Don't know about grip levels yet as I haven't had an opportunity to take it on a track day.
Tyres you can bet your life on really superb quality and performance with masses of grip with my limited slip differential and they shift water in heavy rain very safe
Good in all weather and road conditions so far.
wet grip is insanely good
Very well as expected
Incredible grip on wet and dry roads
These tires give very good road holding performance. the only down side is the very noticeable road noise transmitted into the car interior.
Great Quality
I’m so happy with these tires. Great value for your money
They are excellent and a huge improvement over the Pirellis.
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.
