This is an initial impression of the tire as I am finally happy to obtain these tires especially when switching from 16 inch wheels to 19 inch wheels so this should provide an excellent take. With reading some reviews about PS4S having marginal to no differences to PS4 I opted out for PS4S BMW star spec for improved subjective feel as I found regular PS4 lack in feedback under load and inert feel at yaw changes. Dry grip was exhilirating as hell. I am under impression this is a semi-slick tire with more tread! It bites onto the tarmac harder than PS4 ever could which is also heavily influenced by 255 width vs 205 width. Braking feels like having swapped 2 piston calipers with 6 piston calipers which felt similar with the way PS4 was but this tire transmits you every little detail of what you do with the car on the road leading it to inclusive fun as well as having the advantage of a wide tire. Wet wasn't as bad as I had expected, barely any slip unless really hooning it but that is mainly due to lack of heat during the single rainy day however it has so much stick I never felt nervous even when braking. I expected wet braking to be bad but it wasn't, only slightly worse than PS4! Handling is definitely the best I had experienced! It's all I ever seeked of and it really DOES feel like a SEMI-SLICK. While PS4 reduced body roll moderately the PS4S * reduced body roll significantly. It fears no corners at any speeds. The most flat experience I ever had in a car as it has no roll like a go-kart, completely surprised me and it feels so tight on the road. Dry handling is full neutral and can rotate to oversteer if you over-rev and break the balancing in corners. You're never reaching the limits of this tire in the streets ever. It killed the nose heaviness Audis are known for - push to understeer at adhesion is absolutely eliminated and rotates without hesitation whereas PS4 near the limit liked to push the understeer from neutral handling. Wet handling was neutral to oversteer but I hope to experience wet performance more. It was a lot more fun to throw my car around the wet roads but I believe PS4 is better in this field as the oversteer was a lot more controlled and allowed to mash the throttle at wet roads without any slip. Road feedback...like what the hell this is the best tire for it ever! The only tire that ever got a 10 from me. Previous highly scored tires in this category are PS4 and Blizzak DMV2 on another car which got an 8 and the current winter tires WinterContact TS870 P would get only a 7 much like Turanza T001 instead of a 5 this time around. This has all of it! It is so heavy even when variable steering overboosts the assist at low speeds it feels great and makes it fun to drive. On lower levels of assist it feels as heavy as or heavier than the steering I tried on E90 BMW 3 series. The inputs are sharp but quite progressive so it doesn't feel too darty but enough to drive like a maniac. You feel the road perfectly - all that force feedback, yaw changes, braking, slip angle, load up etc. The stiffening of the compound and strenghtening of the sidewalls is a definitive plus for this tire and vastly improved something that was missing in the regular PS4! Regular PS4 had decent heft but it was so lackadaisical it wasn't always fun to drive even if it inspired you to drive spirited. They simply were plagued by the sidewalls and only under limit they felt blissful. This tire massively begs to be pushed and communicates with the driver like no other, it gets me excited! It truly complements my upgraded sport suspension as if they were made for these tires. Can't comment on wear yet but comfort surprised me. For such a chatty tire, feeling so tight and heavy on the steering and with sheer amounts of grip it is shockingly comfortable. Noise is pretty low, I personally felt that regular PS4 tires were a little louder. Rides and drives smooth rounding up the bumps quite well for a 19 inch tire. I really expected worse from this profile of the tire but it does feel due to compound of the BMW star spec tire like you would have highly uprated springs on your car. I suspect PS4 on 19 inch feels exactly the same or similar but without the tight feel because I barely noticed any differences so no issues with comfort even on a wild tire like this! Overall this is the best tire I have ever owned and having the star spec allows it to be on its own level. This is the real deal it feels like a semi-slick even more than regular PS4. I rated it quite low than expected before so regular PS4 tire would get somewhere nearly a 9 from me this time around as it really was a fun tire with tremendous grip especially in the wet but it lacked ultimate handling and feedback due to their touring level sidewalls. This one is a perfect 100% for the time being as it deals with all the tasks and commands I throw at it. It eats the roads like no tire ever and the dynamics of it improved my car to levels I have never thought they were possible. BMW definitely knows how to tune their stuff. Came in with a moderate expectations ended up being highly optimistic. This will be educational for me to find out how they will last over long term because I really see no competition that can beat this tire. It really is a tire that has all-in-one deal and although I want to try other tires, ultimately Michelin has been consistently the best brand for me. Can't wait to find out how mindblowing the PS5S are going to be in the near future.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S came standard with my car, which is a daily driver car. I mostly drive on maintained paved road, and never took my car to a track. Being a summer tire, it is grippy enough that it gives me confidence that I will not lose traction on turns, specially if I'm travelling a little faster than I'm suppose to be. I have driven my car on wet and/or cold condition as well, and predictably, I had to be extra careful, specially on turns, for this tire can easily slip on a wet or cold surface. Overall, I am happy with this tire, but will I buy it again? Most probably no. Like I said earlier, I do not track my car. I would gladly swap the extra grip provided by this tire, for something that I can use on all weather, plus gives a longer tread life.

Amazing tire, done 5 trackdays in 3 months/8,000km over 9 months. Only half worn after all the hard driving. The grip on track is unreal in the dry and wet. Great feedback also. Going to try Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport next to compare.

Great road tires. Only negative seems to be price. Can't go wrong.

Found PS4s to be an overall good tire but they can be quite dull on road feedback wich I absolutely hate. Compered with PSS which will stick the performance GTI like glue on dry (although not so great in weat), PS4s will lose greap when pushed at limit when cornering.

By far the best tire I've ever had on any car. Grip on dry, wet, steering response, the car feels planted. The tire largely outperforms my car, it's the first time I feel like I can throw anything at it and it still grips and feels super safe. I sometimes drive like a madman and these tires just feel right at home when driving fast and taking corners at high speed. Highly recommend. Oh and they don't wear at all. Still got 3.5mm left after about 30000 miles.

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
