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.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 255-40-17- Porsche 964 6,000 miles April 19, 2018
Fantastic track day tire with very strong sidewalls. Will definitely buy again.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 265-35-18- Porsche 964 1,000 miles August 16, 2016
Ich habe diese Reifen gerade gestern vorne aufgezogen. Das Lenkgefühl ist viel besser als bei den Pilot Sport 3'ern, die ich vorher dran hatte. Ich habe seit dem Pilot Sport 2 immer Michelin Pilot Sports gekauft. Für mich waren das die besten Reifen, die ich je hatte. Der Pilot Sport 3 hat mich dagegen nie richtig überzeugt. Er fühlte sich an, als würde ich auf Quallen fahren. Beim PS3 merkt man, dass sie sich mehr am Touring orientiert haben. Diese Pilot Sport 4 geben mir nun das Gefühl zurück, das ich mit den PS2 hatte. Ich poste später noch weiter Infos, wenn ich mehr Kilometer damit gefahren bin.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 265-35-18- Porsche 964 1,000 miles July 26, 2016
excellents pneus, adhérence sur sol mouillé superbe avec échappée très progressive, adhérence sur sol sec aussi phénoménale, la conformité est également un grand mix, en vertical très doux mais sans les parois latérales donnant trop de charge latérale, bien que plus extrêmes dans les virages, ils sont un peu trop doux et sautent légèrement.

Bien que trop tôt pour se prononcer sur l'usure, ils semblent décents pour le moment. J'ai piloté la plupart des autres pneus dans ce segment (MPSS, conti SC 5 et 6), en comparaison avec le PSS - J' poussé au max pour faire la différence la plupart du temps, j'ai trouvé le SC5 assez nul, avec taux d'usure choquant, de pauvres sensations et une gestion pour combiner des flancs très doux avec une souplesse verticale raide. Le SC6 c'est une autre paire de manches, une adhérence sur sol mouillé fantastique (beaucoup plus que le pss ou le PS4), une meilleure sensation et équilibre de conduite latérale / verticale, mais (et j'ai environ 1000 miles sur ceux-là sur une audi 4wd lourde) l'usure promet d'être pauvre.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 265-35-18- Porsche 964 1,000 miles March 10, 2016
excellent tires, superb wet grip with very progressive breakaway, dry grip is also phenomenal, compliance is also a great mix, vertical is really soft but without the sidewalls giving out too much on lateral load, although in more extreme cornering they are a touch too soft and will skip slightly.

Too early to comment on wear, thought it appears decent to start with. I have run most other tires in this segment (MPSS, conti SC 5 and 6), in comparison to PSS - I am hard pushed to tell the difference most of the time, SC5 i thought were pretty rubbish, shocking wear rates, poor feel and managing to combine very soft sidewalls with stiff vertical compliance. SC6 another kettle of fish, fantastic wet grip (much more so than pss or ps4), better feel and balance of lateral/vertical ride but (and I only have about 1k on these on a heavy 4wd audi) wear is shaping up to be poor.
