I've gone through two sets of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 over the past few years on a MK6 Golf. I find them comfortable and extremely grippy in both dry and wet conditions, grippy enough that I can feel my suspension be the one giving out in hard cornering before the tires do; you can really throw them into corners much faster than you'd expect and they don't give in. They're quiet and comfortable but they don't give a very accurate feel of the road (at least on the 225/45r17 setup I have). I also found the tread life to be quite short compared to my previous Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric tires. Even with proper regular rotations and balances, the tread disappeared fairly quickly on a low powered car. I recommend them for a comfort tire that is extremely safe in wet and dry conditions, but I wouldn't recommend them for maximum tread life or sporty driving.

Very happy with the PS4s. Good levels of both grip and comfort, topped off with a quiet ride. They grip surprisingly well, usable even a few degrees (centigrade) under freezing. You'd have to do something very silly to get them to lose traction. I can really feel the difference, both handling and comfort, coming from Goodyear Eff Grip Performance (gen 1). I feel they're the best balance between comfort and sportiness, as while they aren't the most communicative tire, they're not completely numb either. There's plenty of warning before they lose grip. Wear is comparable to the Goodyears, which is to say it's pretty good. After just over 10k miles, they have around 3.5mm left, so should be good for a few more months.

Dear, I am very happy with the PS4. I drive my 2007 Opel Vectra C since 2014, I bought it at 165000km and now she is 565000km. I have drove around 400000km with that car and went through wheels sizes from 16, 17 and now 18 inch and of course all types of tires! I started with 16inc and Primacy 3 or 4 (can't remember) and it was regular drives. In 2017 I bought 17inch wheels and better size tires that goes with it, 225/45R17. I fitted Cross Climate and had the longest ride on tires ever, at 80000km of use those tires still had life! Since 2019 the car drives on 18inch and 235/40R18 with PS4. I drive very hard since my car is fully upgraded, the handling is amazing with the LSD and I can take corner so fast! Michelin tires are amazing, very precise and always gripping on the road. Braking is amazing too. I can't complain just enjoying them everyday! Love to feel how warm and soft they get after a good drive :) *Wheels always original Opel Vectra wheels. Car has been seriously updated and tuned to this day. Now run on Bilstein/Eibach, Powerflex, Wavetrak LSD, Short shifter, stage 1, Brembo, Big intercooler... :) I also drive an Audi RS6 Performance, first delivered with Dunlop tires... so bad in the wet... I almost crashed the car twice...! Then I fitted PS4S and the world changed! Now I enjoy extreme fast drive and hard breaking and those tires takes it all! Only on road of course, I haven't took the car to the track yet. But very stable at 300km/h+ on the highway :) Thank you for your tires review! :)

Vague, lifeless steering requiring several bites mid-corner to correct the line. Sensational wet grip, excellent dry grip. Basically, they feel like very grippy mediocre touring tires. Michelin's own Primacy touring tires steer better than these.

It doesn't grip on dusty dry ground, abs when braking, skid on acceleration. If you enter the speed bumps fast, the tire wires break and the balance does not hold. I will not buy again.

Had these tire's in 225/45 r17 94 rating on the front of a Leon Tdi FR. Felt compelled to review them as they get replaced and put on the back for the remainder. Highly rated, I have found these tires safe but completely uninspiring and vague in the middle of the wheel. Also with below average wear rate. Grip in the wet is very good, you hardly notice any difference from dry conditions, the braking is good, and extreme grip on a long bend is always assured and feels almost unlimited. However, the tire feels far from sporty or precise. I found the middle of the wheel to be very vague, small adjustments take a lot of movement at the wheel, and I always felt like I was driving up the camber, which must be related to this aspect of the tire working on my car/specific size. They have really made my car feel dull and taken the enjoyment out of driving. They do have that michelin 'feel', very smooth and quiet. The wear rate has been average too. E.g, the Dunlop Sp Sort Maxx that came new on the car, lasted 16k, I'm putting these PS4's on the rear axle as they are near the bar, after only 14k miles. I thought the trade off would be longevity... In this size at least, from my experience, I don't recommend these tire's, there are better options that represent far better value, feel, and longevity for the money. I think they are very safe tires, I will say that. I felt compelled to review as most reviews rave about them. I had a Cooper Zeon XTC set on my old car, same size, that tire was on par with the Michelin in my experience, for example. Looking forward to going back to my old faithful Eagle F1 tomorrow!

Decent tires but not as hard wearing as previous Pirellis. Dry grip fine but a bit loose in the wet

In my opinion the best performance tire on a passenger car In the dry the handling and performance is outstanding. In the wet it's also really good The only downside is that they wear faster than the average tire. But still an outstanding tire.

This is the second time I bought this tire. But not for this car. Big fan of this tire. The tires replaced my factory fitted Michelin Pilot Super Sport. I needed a tire for better wet grip, because I daily my car. Huge improvement in wet grip and aquaplaining without really sacrificing dry grip capability. Comfort level is higher. Very good wear considering I often drive sporty. The only downside is the lack of feel what the tires are doing. They also don’t feel sporty, although very capable in every condition. Still don’t regret buying them one bit.

I fitted Michelin’s PS4 to my E90 320d daily about a year ago, and have since covered about 10,000 miles. Both the dry and wet grip are fantastic. I’d say the front end is about 80% as grippy in the wet compared to dry conditions, before easing into progressive understeer. As for wear, after about 10,000 miles the rears were down to 4mm with the fronts remaining strong at 5.5mm. I have since swapped them over and no doubt will get at least another year out of them. All in all, they are fantastic tires for sporty daily driving.

These tires replaced the AO Pirelli P Zeros the car came with and transformed the feel of the car. The steering was more direct, and especially in the wet, where the Pirelli's gave some very heart stopping moments, these are consistent and reliable.

Excellent tire, almost as good as you can get, fairly comfortable considering the performance
