This review is so accurate in testing the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 S. I experienced the same difficulty in the snow back in February 2021 in driving my car in the snow. my tires back in February had very good tread depth and still do. My car is four-wheel drive with 285/35/22 and I literally couldn't get off my drive up a very tiny slope and almost ended up putting my car through my wall in trying to get off my drive. I had to put sand down in my tire tracks on my drive to put my car back about 10-ft to park it back where it first was in the morning. please do not attempt to drive with these tires in the snow because it is literally impossible even with four-wheel drive to drive in the snow with these tires on your car. ❄ ❄ ❄ But in the summer and in wet conditions these tires are absolutely brilliant and i cannot recommend them highly enough for these conditions

These came fitted to the car when i bought it 2nd hand with about 2,000 miles done on them already. My previous car had the OE spec Dunlop Sports Maxx and these are a complete revelation. took me a good 200 miles to trust the grip they offered in the damp over the Dunlops which had me driving very cautiously ...not a bad thing but also not relaxing. The PS4s just does things without any hint of understeer or sudden tail slides under power. Ride comfort is better even when the car has stiffer suspension than the previous car and cabin noise is down a bit as well. Only negative i've sensed was a little tramlining under heavy breaking and a much smaller rim protector. They aren't a cheap tire but for high power cars i can definitely understand the reputation these have gained. 550hp has never felt so easy to get down .

Replaced OEM fit Pirelli Pzero Rosso with the PS4S and have before noticed a bigger improvement. It actually felt like I have fitted a different suspension setup. The Pirellis wore well but had dramatic tramlining and not the best dry grip. The PS4S immediately gave better steering feedback. They raised the levels of a sporty drive all round like I had replaced my S5 with a new model with no steering or suspension wear that comes with miles. The ride did firm up, like a new feel rather than harsh. when you first drive at speed through corners, it does feel unstable at first, but you realise it is the steering input is more direct and you realise with other tires you over input as the feedback is dampened, so the Ps4S just give a sharper more direct feeling. They stay centred on the motorway and wander or tramline. I don't do a lot of miles so can't really comment on tire wear, but I have done a several thousand and they still look like new and now abnormal wear. It can loose traction under heavy acceleration, but with over 450bhp it i to be expected. Not noticed any issues in wet grip and is as good as the dry. To sum up, a sporty feeling, confidence inspiring tire that does what a good summer tire should.

These replaced some Goodyear F1 Supersport tires. The Goodyears had amazing grip, great steering response and I got almost 30k miles out of them. The problem with them was the harsh ride, really noticed a difference when I had the PS4 S fitted and it wasn’t a case of old v new, I noticed the harsh ride after the Goodyears replaced some Pirelli’s. The Michelins are so much more comfortable, a little quieter but are still responsive to steering input. If you’re an out and out racer choose the Goodyears, if you want 99% of the Goodyear’s steering response but value comfort choose the Michelins, I will in future!

I got Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires fitted to all 4 wheels & instantly they appear to be noticeably quieter than the Continental Contact 5P which were previously fitted to my car. The front end grip & cornering is more positive & confirming which gives a good level of confidence when travelling at motorway speeds & carving up the twisty A & B roads in the dry & at times very wet weather we have here in the UK. This positive & confirming feedback also gives great & slightly better breaking performance compared to the previous tires in both wet & dry conditions. Having travelled over 5500 miles I took my car back to the Tire Shop to check the tracking, alignment & tire health check. They pointed out how well the tires were lasting having hardly worn. For the price I have paid these tires are so far doing really well & I would get another set fitted to my car when the current set run down.

Put 275/30 20r rears and 235/35 20r on front on my bmw435d stage 2 f33 xdrive..... the car did not like them with lots of slipping from the xdrive...the size was perfect match only thing i can think of is the rubber on the rears is harder than the fronts...hadn't problems until i fitted these and i won't be buying any again...4 tires for sale

Replaced the front tires on my 2014 BMW X5 50i M-sport. Can't being to express what a huge difference this made. Absolutely blown away by the Michelin. Obviously would be a big change coming from Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport runflats. I was always annoyed by the amount of noise made by these, but even only replacing the fronts has cut the noise significantly. The rears are are still the old bridgestones at size 315/35/20, and just to demonstrate how much more grip the smaller Michelins have in dry, any corner I can load up the fronts progressively or snap steer and the rear just oversteers way before there is even any hint of the front Michelins losing grip. Prior to the Michelins it was understeer only unless you applied boatloads of power. No experience (yet) with wet, live in the middle east. Lastly the comfort levels are hugely improved. Obviously the change from a runflat might make the largest difference, but for a sport tire comfort is really good. Would most certainly buy again(and will), by far the best tire I've ever bought. Handling is excellent, immediate response and accuracy.

Had these on other cars. LOVED THEM, but all had higher profiles. These were fitted here on a BMW e93 330i convertible @;47psi so ROCK hard. They are quite impressive, but they perform much better with a higher profile. That said, wet and dry grip is excellent, but they have worn much quicker than I'd hope. Done 10k max. Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's seem to rate better in most areas, so going to go for those.

After changing to this tires after using the goodyear asymmetric 5, i was really shocked at how outdated the car feels. Road roughness vibrates through the cabin, more noise, the sidewall is soft but tires are harsh. So opposite of asymmetric 5 which has harder sidewalls but very plush to drive absorbing road imperfections. Steering feels also feels so inconsistent. I guess many people just buy this because its expensive. Used for a week, changed to Dunlop RT2 and never regretted. Straight away feels so much smoother, quieter with more direct steering. Stay off this outdated tire. Expensive doesn't mean better. Trust me.

Got these for a bargain price off amazon (£110 each). Wouldn't have paid the £275 per corner going rate. However, they are way better than the Bridgestones that were fitted previously. They hold the road perfectly, and have been put through a bit of punishment to be honest. Only the sheer weight of the Audi A7 can make them break traction in the wet or the dry when corner sharply, on a roundabout for example, when going too quickly. The tires are at about 50% wear and have been on the car for about a year and 10,000 miles. Maybe a little more. The previous Bridgestones wore faster. I'm changing car soon and it'll have 19 inch wheels. I'll be fitting PS4S to that as well when it needs new tires. Just not sure I'd pay the full price on 21 inch wheels as it is astronomical.

I had michelin ps4 before 245 40 18 and switched to 245 35 19 ps4s. Obviously going from 18s to 19s is going to affect ride quality. I found the PS4 excellent in the wet especially in real heavy rain in the dry they were good and wear was good ride a little firm. The ps4s the grip in the dry and steering response is excellent. In the wet they grip up to a point then brake away I definitely preferred the PS4 in the wet they were great on the limit in the wet. The ride on the ps4s is hard and they are really noisy on coarse bitumen I mean really noisy.

I replaced the 19" Bridgestone runflats (F: 225/40 R19. R: 255/35 R19) with these Michelin Pilot 4 S and have never looked back. The factory tires had plenty of tread at the time I replaced them. The OEMs were harsh, a little noisy and felt like skateboard wheels when cornering but in the wet they weren't too bad at all. Just not confidence inspiring. After watching endless reviews on Youtube I decided on the 4 S'. I knew it would be the right decision and have never looked back. Cornering grip, braking distances, confidence, wet and dry weather handling and tire wear are perfect after 2 years. I will be replacing the Continental 5 Ps on my other car with a set of these in the next few weeks (stock isn't great at the moment for my sizes).
