Wild dry weather grip, awesome levels of feedback and super confidence inspiring to push from the get go. Haven't done much spirited driving in the wet so unsure of wet weather performance on the limit. Surprisingly comfortable for daily use as well and seem to be fairly resilient in terms of durability. Also excellent on rough road (not perfect track conditions), handles bumps really well. Highly recommend!

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Had these tires on my megane rs250 and wow blown me away these were the 200 compound, on motorway there is a little tire noise but turn radio up thats gone but trackdays,jesus these tires for the money are outstanding, cadwell park in the wet is alway a challenging track, and this is true i could drive the car 80% flat out in the wet , braking, corning it was mental, then the day dry out and the car come was amazing, and in the gooseneck part of the track thr car was effortless and rapid.
Drove home on tires and coul still use them again , so great for the money
I bought my car with these tires fitted and they aren’t the most confidence inspiring on a sporty car, that is meant to be driven in a spirited fashion. Their performance in wet and dry conditions wasn’t terrible but did limit the car significantly. The sidewall also felt fairly soft and would roll in most bends. They have worn out in under 6,000 miles, which is the longevity I would expect from and be happy with from a more performance orientated tire. Overall, they are a reasonable tire but I wouldn’t recommend trying to save money and run these on a fast car as you’ll be doing your vehicle a disservice.
i got the tires on my megane RS250 cup it is tuned to nearly 300hp.The wear of the tire has gone 60% in 5k miles time. i got a lot ow wheel spins.For me really bad tire. I was expecting a lot more of it. It is not track driven only road use. And the braking is really bad.
Only dome 2000 miles or so of driving so far but I can honestly say I wish I'd put them on my car sooner. I came from swearing by apollo tires for a long time, but decided midrange just wasn't cutting it anymore. The wet grip levels are insane on the PS4 compared to other tires of driven on and dry grip is equally as good. The only downside I can think of is the progression of the grip level. The michelin will grip well beyond what you think the limit is, but will just let go when it gets to the true limit of the tire. Its either lots of grip or not much grip. Would recommend to anyone. Ill report back in a few months when I've racked up some more miles!
Got a puncture and when having it replaced found a bubble in another tire, at such short notice, there where the only "premium " tire that were available I could afford...
I usually only use pilot sport tires (recently started using eagle f1)
I was expecting them to be close to the mps.
I was very disappointed in the dry they are decent but nothing special the comfort road noise and rim protection are all in the same level as budget tires, the wet performance is beyond appalling... yes the car is 300bhp + fwd but it has an lsd and Renault rs cars are the best handling cars point blank ... it was amusing sliding about and good practice for car control but for the price and brand these tires are a joke and I would not recommend anyone using them for anything but off road tire shredding....
They lasted 6k miles on front wheels
Pay the extra for pilot sports or the same for eagle f1.... if you cant afford these tires god old rainsports will serve u well.
I will use another continental tire again... avoid

One word: fantastic! Truly a Michelin PS4s competitor!
Tires I already drove on my 322hp Megane RS: PS4, PS4s, PS3, Nokian Powerproof and now the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport in 235/40/18.
Dry grip and feedback is great! Full throttle out of the corner is easy (works great with some added negative camber). It gives you so much confidence. The feedback is superb and now I really can push the car to its limits. I think they behave the same as the PS4s but it is difficult to compare because I've changed the suspension this year.
These Goodyears are a bit stiffer than the normal PS4 and Powerproof but I like that. Turn in is very good and it is hard to overdrive them. The ride is stiffer but the response is so much better and more direct.
In terms of noise: I find them quiet. At least, they don't drone at any speed. The Powerproofs do drone at 50kmh.
The looks: they look nice! Nice pattern and I do like the rim protection.
I would buy these tires again! Great value for money! It shows me that Michelin is maybe a bit overpriced..

Fitted them to my Megane 3 rs with 322hp. It is my daily car so I wanted tires in the UHP range like Michelin PS4. Since I am very positive about the Nokian winter tires, I wanted to try the Powerproof's as they claim in to be UHP and a PS4 competitor. When I bought them no tests or reviews were placed on the internet.
First of all: this is not as good as the Michelin PS4 and PS4s which I had both the Megane. Not as precise and direct. Also, full throttle in second gear comes with quite some wheel spin. I did not have that with the PS4S's.
It does not give me that confidence as the Michelin's but maybe I have to "read" the tires better and learn how to push them.
The pro's are more comfort and less noise.
Overall: very good tire but I don't recommend these if you do a lot of spirited driving or track days. Great for all day though!

Really happy with these tires. Much better than the Goodyear Eagle Assymetric 3 tires that came off the car. Nice and comfortable with great feel through the steering. Fit nice on the wheel. Bit of a curbing band and looks ‘big' on the wheel. Not thin and ‘small' even stretched. I want to buy again when they wear out as they are 70% the price of a Michelin. I want to try the Michelin.... but unsure if I'll gain that extra performance for my money.
In the dry probably the best tire I have ever had, but for maximum grip it needs to be hot. Have them on Megane rs250 in 235/35/19 and 235/40/18. On wet drive normally and no problems. Be aware of aquaplaning.
