while driving a Lexus RX500h · Driving on mostly town
for 13000 spirited miles
It’s a good sport tires given by Lexus from the factory, as there aren’t much options in this tire specs anyway. Grip wise, it should have enough grip to be confident in lots of corners, though there were times where I lost traction shortly when flooring the car real hard on sealed road. Any speeds more than 100km/h will bring noises into the cabin (given ugly back roads in Australia), but otherwise a comfortable ride most of the time. On windy roads, plenty of traction but the car was a boat, can’t do much spirited driving anyway. Looking to try Touring tires next such as Advan dB or Geolandar X CV before coming back to PS4 again.

A tire that inspires great confidence on dry roads, with good durability. Excellent for SUVs. I've had Continentals before, but I prefer Michelin. I've been using them for 20 years on my X3, X5, and Q5.

while driving a Volkswagen TOUAREG V6 TDI · Driving on a combination of roads
for 60000 easy going miles
Touareg almost 2.5 ton of weight. 70% city , 30% highway driving. Lasted almost 80,000 km. Still getting 4 mm of life but the tires started to peeling off, picture for reference. The car is good condition on the suspension and tires services

while driving a Mazda CX 5 · Driving on a combination of roads
for 12000 spirited miles
This is a great tire, it makes my car (Mazda CX-5) a pleasure to drive, unlike the manufacturer fitted tires it had. They excel on a twisty country road. <br />
This tires saved my life in an iminent crash situation, the tires were new at that time, and the braking distance was unbelievable short from 67 km/h while keeping the car maneuverable.

while driving a Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 TSI RS · Driving on a combination of roads
for 3100 spirited miles
Replaced factory fit Continental Contisport Contact 5 on a Skoda Kodiaq. Brilliant all round tire across most measures. Handling not quite as sharp as the Continentals with more sidewall compression on turn-in but the ride is better. Virtually no wear after 5,000km.

while driving a Lexus NX 450h+ · Driving on a combination of roads
for 2000 spirited miles
Dry grip is quite good, and so is the wet grip - similar to the two Continental PremiumContact 7:s that I've had in the past (I wanted to try something new, and the PremiumContact 7 isn't available in the 235/50R20 size I needed).<br />
<br />
They're objectively somewhat noisy (recorded 72 db at 125 km/h in a Lexus NX 450h+ at an o-k road surface - that's not good for such an insulated car), but the "subjective noise" is quite good (as in, they're not grating to listen to for hours). The tire sound has a high-but-not-that-high frequency (the continentals I'm used to have a bit more of a low-frequency "rumble" sound).<br />
<br />
But they clearly got there by having a really soft sidewall (despite having the variant rated for the highest speeds). Turn-in is slow, and at the limit they feel extremely wobbly (even if they still manage to hold on well and lose grip somewhat progressively). In a panic scenario in the rain I could see someone overdriving the tires and then overreacting in the other direction and then crashing due to the late response and wobbly nature.<br />
<br />
It's the quintessential Michelin tire - it grips well, doesn't sound too loud, is fairly progressive at the limit, so on paper it's all good, but... it feels really bad to drive on. I would pick Continentals every day of the week.

while driving a Lexus Rx450h · Driving on a combination of roads
for 700 spirited miles
i just bought them 2 weeks ago for my lexus rx 450 h. I m very disappointed with those tires. Sure They perform well on the road but are so noisy in the Lexus ! Nearly as noisy as my Goodrich mud on my old defender. After 2 weeks i just decided to change them as they really ruined the Lexus driving. Really sad for such a price ! I noticed they were " made in China". I'm wondering if the quality is the same as i also get them on my Bmw 640 witout any issue ( but " made in Europe"). So on my opinion, They absolutely do not worth the money.

Excellent tired in all classes. Extra quiet as well. They wear quicker than average, but that is the trade-off for the performance. I drive them spirited as well, in a hot clinate, so that doesn't help with wear.

Best UHP summer tire. No other SUV tire comes close in terms of high speed performance. Braking, cornering, stability and road feedback. Only weakness is wear, they seem to wear pretty fast.

while driving a Toyota RAV4 · Driving on a combination of roads
for 10000 average miles
Great tire! I was very satisfied with wet and dry grip on Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid. Tire was also very communicative on the edge and I felt very safe while driving it. There is one big disadvantage and that is wear. They lasted only about 16000 km /10000 miles (on 2,2 ton SUV). Also I didn´t do any off-roading with it, so I can´t comment on that.

while driving a Honda CRV · Driving on mostly town
for 20000 average miles
Got a Honda CRV with factory 19inch wheels and installed the PS 4 SUV but after 30K kms, they have become very very loud - bordering on the dreaded wheel bearing noise. Maybe its me, but every Michelin tire I've purchased before (Primacy & PS 4SUV) they have turned out to be very noisy. All the other scores are fine, it is a daily driver in city driving with occasional (1 or 2 per year) long trips (+8hr distances). Being a 105 load rating, choices are more limited down here in Aus, but I'm leaning to Bridgestone next time around.
