Know Your Mods Ep16 : Tires - Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (PS4S)

[@sledhead722]

I went from the Pirelli run-flats to PSS. I was absolutely amazed in the difference. I will never go with anything else other than Michelin tires. Great to see the PS4S have improved so much.

[@jasonleon1976]

Same😉

[@ZekeMagnum]

3 years later but you never in any situation ever never ever buy run flat tyres for performance vehicles. of course you notice a different. RF are not to be compared to the normal version of the same tyre

[@nonufyobusiness7790]

Hands down one of the best tires I have driven on for my 600hp sedan. Cannot believe the grip from a dig compared to cheaper alternatives on the market. The cornering, braking, wet, and quiet ride are worlds ahead of other tires on the same car.

[@slitherdurant]

Ik I’m late but what kind of car you got?

[@lobbyrobby]

I'm also curious what car you have? I'm on a 295 mps4s and should be around 650rwhp

[@bwlucas]

Just put a set on my 17 Focus ST. These tires are INCREDIBLY quiet on the freeway. Really amazing. Great tires, so much better than those stock goodyears.

[@endlezzdrft]

Just installed these on my 650i coming from pirellis. Literally a night in day difference in all categories. I have them paired with full carbon fiber staggered wheels. Handling, road noise, wet performance, comfort all went through the roof. With my KW V3 coilovers on my pirellis, I was happy, but now I'm just floored. It's a extremely luxurious experience. It's friggin pricy and is not for 40° and below weather but boy do the stars align when you're on these tires. Hats off to the engineers, it's truly the best tire on the market. If you want the ultimate in performance, comfort and have the coin, get them.

[@uhhhhNick]

You have a 650i, full carbon fiber wheels, and KW V3's and youre complaining about ~$230 tires......ok

[@ronhay6511]

Glad to hear you are enjoying them!

[@craigewing3054]

I’ve seen several videos on this tire and you’re the first to report on the non-steel belts which I’m all for.

[@ronhay6511]

Yeah its some of the technology to keep the weight down, and yet keep the strength as well. (reduction in rotating mass ) Also the tire of the new T.50!

[@ancientruinsofficial]

I have these tires on my 2018 Mustang GT they're absolutely amazing at first I was going to replace them with some Mickey Thompsons but by the time I got home I realize are the most comfortable tires I have ever had on my vehicle. So even though the Mickey Thompson's look more sporty and flashy when the time comes to get new tires I'm going for the michelins 100%

[@videomaniac108]

I'm getting these put on my Nissan 370Z sport coupe tomorrow morning. After much research over about 20 other tire options, these tires came out on top in the performance categories that mattered the most to me: longitudinal and lateral dry grip, dry slalom times and tire weight. The superior wet performance was not a priority to me but is a nice added bonus. Michelin seems to have gotten the handling performance of a 200 UTQG tire with the longevity of a 300 series tire. I really like the use of the Kevlar belts instead of steel for the lighter weight, increased stiffness and better transient response to steering inputs and road irregularities. I'm a retired physicist who likes to dabble in mechanical engineering topics and so it was very interesting to study the construction and performance characteristics of this tire.

[@ronhay6511]

Jim, great choice it's been a few years since I got to review these tires and they really are the best in performance category from what I've seen from any manufacturer and engineering standpoint, they are leading the market for sure. Enjoy! Come back in here and give your impressions of it after you drive on them.

[@carlitosmaciel9064]

Do u guys know any difference between the XL ps4s tires vs the none XL

[@kcimages5157]

Got the Michelin AS3 plus and they are amazing !

[@ronhay6511]

KCI I am on set of some Michelin AS3+ as well right now, loving them as well! Different type of tire obviously then this PS4S performance tire, but honestly in terms of All season this and the Continental DWS06 are neck and neck in my eyes as the top 2 all season tires.

[@joelpierce3940]

Not so good on a C7 ZO6, compared to the Pilot Super Sport.

[@steveb8883]

I just sold my 15 GT Mustang last week and it had PS4S tires on it. I bought a GT350 with the Super Sports on it. I cannot wait to take them off and get PS4S tires back. They are by far the best summer tire I have ever driven on.

[@ronhay6511]

First off Congrats Steve on the GT350 (funny when I did my 2nd review on the tires it was with the 350), You have a unique perspective seeing super sports to PS4S difference back to back. Something most people will not be able to notice! Awesome

[@51jjm]

@Steve Boyher I've been really trying to find somebody who has direct experience on both the PS4S and Super Sports...can you elaborate a bit on why you like the PS4S's more? Thanks.

[@steveb8883]

@@51jjm I am not a pro by any means, but this is my take on the PS4S. We have had several Mustangs. I have tried numerous different tires . I tried to find a better tire than the michelin and cannot. I have had the super sports twice. They are great tires, but they do no have the grip the the PS4S gives and they do not last as long. The super sport will break loose at a much lower throttle than the PS4S does and in the corner, the super sport will start to lose grip at about 2/3 the speed of where the PS4S does. The PS4S has acceptable rain control for an ultra high performance summer tire. I recently put a set of Cup 2 Michelins on my 17 350. They are by far the best tire I have ever used, but they cannot be driven in the rain with any confidence and I would not recommend them below 50 degrees F. They never soften up enough to get grip. I am ordering a set of PS4S today for my 17 350. Unless I am tracking a car, the PS4S is the only one that I feel does the job. I just wish they made them in a 305 35 19 instead of a 305 30 19. I like a slightly taller side wall.

[@51jjm]

@@steveb8883 Thanks so very much Steve. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain your experience to me. I'm no pro either ;), but I just absolutely love driving on my Super Sports and...I'm not so great at "change." ha! I first had them on a Audi s4 cabriolet (the old fat 8 cylinder 4.0 that had I chipped/modified to over 400hp) and now have them on a much less powerful car (VW Golf Gti mk 6) that I love as much as that old S4 and that the Super Sports transformed the car after I took the crappy Potenza's that VW supplied on the car...anyway, you are one of the very few people I have come across with direct experience between the PS4S and the Super Sports. I should be getting new tires in a few months (the PS4S's) and I will report back. Thanks again for your comment. Cheers from John down in Greece.

[@steveb8883]

@@51jjm You should love the PS4S experience. Keep us posted!

[@aluisious]

I bought a used CTS VSport that a previous owner had put different front and rear, mid-price all seasons on. Great car but I could tell the tires were holding it back, the rear would step out huge under power and even the front tires were getting pushed around. Switched to these and a good car became amazing. It corners like a roller coaster, and intentional abuse of the throttle on corner exit just gives a little shimmy. They feel determined to stick, which is fun and also makes the car much safer.

[@mryouknooow]

I have these on my STS-V, replaced PSS, and it was a noticeable difference!

[@24hrs365]

@@ivan2jzbunny So far they look good. I drive 100k on the motorway five days a week. I don't drive it on weekends really, maybe just to the shop. I think they are noisy, I noticed the noise more when on roundabouts. I think if you want great grip and less noise you have to sacrifice wear.

Cool vid! Just replaced my P Zeros with some PS4S’ on a S5. And they’re awesome! Super on dry, grippy when sticky, great on wet, and comfy in normal driving too. They do cost a bit more, but if they can go the distance as they say, then it’s well worth it instead of having to replace them more often.

[@vintagehaynesflute]

Just ordered them for my 2012 Mercedes E350 sports sedan. Hope they’re quieter and more comfortable than the sumitomos that are already on it!

[@hankfink]

Just upgraded from Super Sports to the S4 and it feels very different. I drive a manual steer, manual brake muscle car so every little thing I change usually has a noticeable difference. Turning is different I can feel the stronger sidewall. I had to change the brake bias between the front and back these bit harder (I have large two piece Wilwood rotors, calipers, master and proportioning valve). They're quiet and in certain turns where I could make the rear slide a little it takes a tad bit more throttle to do the same. Very good product! We'll see how they wear but in my experience what makes their compounds stand out is how well they perform AFTER 20-30k miles.

I've purchased 3 sets for my Mustangs and Shelby. Much better than Goodyear F-2 Supercar that came on the Shelby. Sport Cup 2 designs pretty much track only. PSS4S are best high performance street tire for everyday driving (in relatively warm weather). I like their comfort and performance ability, but it's more important for me to feel safe in normal everyday or higher performance driving conditions.

Hi Joel, I think I mentioned it in another comment - but the zo6 super sports - are on of those specially specifically engineered for the car, something very special that Michelin did, so even though its on the older technology, it blows away the ps4s so no need for a 4s release from them.

[@51jjm]

Hey everyone. It's been a few years now...I'm curious for those who have driven on both Pilot Super Sports and Pilot Sport 4S tires, if they still feel the 4S is an improvement over the Pilot Super Sports? I've read a few reviews now that say that the 4S is a great tire, but just doesn't have the road "communication/feel" that the Pilot Super Sport does when driving aggressively in the dry. Thanks for any replies.

[@videomaniac108]

I went from the Bridgestone Potenza S007, the OEM tire on my 370Z, to these and it is true that the sidewalls are less stiff. I had to go up on the inflation pressure about 10 psi to equalize wear across the tread. I can feel the lower stiffness as an increased sense of vagueness in the steering, with less firm control in sharp cornering. My next set will be the Michelin Cup 2s.

[@51jjm]

@@videomaniac108 Thanks for your reply Jim. Appreciate it. I'm coming-up on new tires and I think I'm going to go for the Pilot Sport 4S's...in part to satisfy my own curiosity as to how they compare to the Super Sports. Again, my anticipation is that the Super Sports will be better in the dry for performance, but in the rain the 4S will beat it. Hard to find straight comparisons between the the two Michelins. I've been driving on Michelin Super Sports for 15 years now and have no complaints. It is still an awesome tire. I'll report back once I get the 4S's on. Cheers!

[@videomaniac108]

I put these on my 2019 Nissan 370Z 6MT with sport package as replacements for the OEM Bridgestone Potenza S007. They are quieter, lighter and better wearing than the Bridgestones but the sidewalls are much less stiff. Theis has resulted in a less harsh ride but with more vagueness in the steering, a less precise handling tire. This tire might be better suited for a heavier GT performance car where comfort has a higher priority. My next set of tires will probably be the Michelin Cup 2s.

[@Modbargains-google-plus]

Great feedback Jim, interesting thought on it are you mostly using the tires on track level? the cup 2's are really a track type tire.

[@videomaniac108]

@@Modbargains-google-plus No, I use the car as a DD and occasionally stretch it's legs out on canyon and mountain roads here in the SF bay area.

Id assume they would serve as an all season tire in southern california?

[@Modbargains-google-plus]

For all intents and purposes, yes. You just wouldn't want to take them up to the mountains in the snow, as freezing temperatures would compromise the compound and traction. But in our dry-wet conditions in California, no A/S tire would grip as well. The only thing you 'sacrifice' would be over-all tread life, as an A/S tire would last 2-3x as long.

I wonder if this tyre woukd be good on a TVR Tuscan? The toughened sidewalls might have a negative effect on a car that only weighs 1 tonne and the tyres shoud only be at 26 psi, I wonder if the tyre would be good on a lightweight car running lower 26 psi tyre pressures? I have a feeling the tyre is designed for cars at 1.5 tonne and above and running higher 30psi pressures

[@ronhay6511]

Hi Dennis, I think these tires would still be good. The tougher sidewall will be better during cornering regardless of the lower weight, yes you can run a lower tire pressure, but what are you trying to achieve, is this for lap speed? There are always some changes that are different then one another, but the tire is first designed on race cars for compound purposes then brought down for every day usage, example like in the wet etc. If you are looking for pure race purposes look at the Michelin Sport Cup 2's. If we can help further let us know, can contact us here at ModBarains, [e-mail]

[@paulburton6832]

Thanks for your comment. I have just ordered a set for my Jaguar F-Pace. The Pirelli P Zero tyres did 30k miles I was a bit concerned as Michelin said Pilot Sport 4 S is a summer tyre so we recommend to use it above 7 degrees C. It can be used below 7 as well but not for long time periods. So if the temperature drops below 7 degrees for long periods in your area, we recommend to use winter tyres during this time. (I asked what is a long period). If its's 2-3 days below 7, summer tyres are OK, for longer periods winter tyres are better and safer option

Wait if its like an Iphone 9, does that mean its shit?

ROFL well when I did that analogy , I went with the evolutionary step of things how iphones or Samsung phones change and improve generally.

[@JoseGonzalez-zq7bn]

Well I don’t track my car much. It may see a track “1/4” mile MAYBE 2-4 times a year. My car does see very high speeds 30-40% of the time so I think this will be my upgrade. Just waiting on my pilot sports to wear down so I can buy these 😂

Can someone tell me what size this exact tire please it’s urgent

[@Modbargains-google-plus]

Hi I am not sure what your question is, you need a size of which tire. If you want just contact us either via [e-mail] or give us a call at 714.582.3330. Thank you

[@ramonmartinez381]

How are theses compared to the Nitto NT555 G2?

[@carloscosme9510]

I have a 2010 528i BMW it has run flats can I switch to these tires with my car? And if I do will they look almost similar since there sporty looking tires?

[@Modbargains-google-plus]

Yes and Yes

[@kenm6533]

I have a dedicated set of snow tires...would you say that the ps4s would work for the rest of the 3 other season in NY? .......I mean I wouldn't want to have 3 sets of tires

[@racekid2443]

Ken M Absolutely! The 4S are fabulous performance tire, except for really cold days and of course, snow... I too have a set of snows for winter. Albeit, HP Michelin alpine sports... I put my winter tires on first week of October and take them off the last week of March… Best of both worlds and less wear obviously. Good luck! Enjoy the ride!

[@A.ChristopherJohnson]

Good stuff bro

[@burnedoutproductions5915]

yes they are a big deal i have them on my 2017 c7 vette and it rides amazing

[@JJBuffDaddy]

Can anyone tell me honestly, that these tires are better than Pirelli Zero's?

I have these on my 370Z and at the rate they're wearing I'm on track to get 30K miles on them.

[@ernec.5326]

Would you recomend these, the pilot super sport or the A/S 3 + for Southern Cali on a G35 at 397whp? I like going fast!

[@ronhay6511]

Between super sport or A/S3+ for S. California - If you can still find the Super sports being sold, I would go with the Super sports. Our conditions here don't warrant the need for the A/S 3+ level of all season

[@izzyc.4746]

Ok there summer tires but there good for all weather type??? But not all season ???

[@ronhay6511]

These are Summer performance specific tires, so yes they can handle the rain amazing, but they aren't categorized that way. They also don't have as much tread as say an all season tire (which is really designed with more focus on all weather elements even light snow that can occur). So this is no all season but it's performance ability makes it feel like it could be an all season hope that helps.

[@izzyc.4746]

@@ronhay6511 yes it did I have a 2019 Camry V6 that come with Bridgestone all season tires so I wanted something similar..I saw these tires and the shop said there summer tires and not all season and that they will run me for 30k miles but I really liked them so let me ask ..are they worth it ??

[@ronhay6511]

@@izzyc.4746 Where are you located what are your weather conditions like? I switched from the Michelin AS 3+ to the PS4S myself, and I love them, not to say the AS3+ weren't a phenomenal all season, I love driving and I love handling and to me the mileage sacrifice is worth it. Michelin has just released a Michelin pilot sport all season 4, if they have your sizes it might be best of both world for you. Side note, check out new side channel we just started called 'talking mods' (subscribe!) I go into a lot of different subjects just like this and questions that we can run into. I'll still be doing KYM videos too for more in depth. To sum it up, to me they are worth it, but again depends on your conditions (I am out in Southern California and can use them all year long).

Compared to pilot super sports, are the side walls stiffer or softer? Also, I'm running pss 235/40 18 front and 265/35 18 rear. The tread width on the front pss are 8.5" but on p4s it's 8". About the same width rear. How do you think this 0.5" difference will effect handling and grip? Thanks.

[@ronhay6511]

The P4S sidewalls are stiffer, in corners you definitly feel far more planted. Grip and handeling increase i'd say is almost a 20-30% based on my subjective review of it, this is considerable. During like a bank turn you really can feel that this tire won't flex out. Hope that helps.

[@triniwarrior16]

make more sizes aka for smaller tires 205/35/16

[@Jrv200008]

ARCH. M Who uses them anyway?

[@nuffdoggiggey4103]

Damn confused. Bought 2 rear online .. the 2 tires appear to be eather 2 rightside or 2 left side anyone have a clue on these ps4s what direction and side they go on. I should have received 2 backs due to the receipt states put them on the rear

[@Modbargains-google-plus]

If you look on the side wall of the tire, on one side there should be the words "outside" molded onto the tire. PS4S tires are not directional. so the treads will be going different directions on the left and the right side of the car. Just make sure the the 'outside' portion is showing on the left and right sides of the car.

[@Stallion3863]

Hello!!! Great video on amazing tires...I was wondering about the price on these tires. I understand their may be a premium and accept it but is there a specific difference regarding the ps4s tires you guys sell via the modbargains link and the tirerack version...For a model 3 tirerack sells them for 225 a tire while your site sells for 330 a tire. Am i missing something or are your tires like a manufacture version or diffrent version than the ones sold to the regular public..My tesla store mentioned there are the manufacture spec ps4s that sells for 325 which is more than what tirerack charges. They did mention that the treadlife is better when u buy from manufacture as the utqg is closer to 500 vs the other versions which are closer to utqg of 350

[@MrSaghezi]

Which tires are best for Los Angeles roads in your opinion . I just bought a used 2016 corvette stingray convertible with no z51 package. I have magnetic suspension and it is very comfortable. Even with these OEM RFT super sports its still extremely comfortable compared to others. I am only looking at Michelin tires and still do not know which to choose. ZP, 4s, ps2, or maybe the all season tires. I am not going on the track or driving in the rain. Comport is the most important and I guess performance is a little less important. Which one would you recommend and how much more comfortable are they from the RFT super sports that I am driving on right know? I am also open to other brands if they are better. Thank you

[@Jrv200008]

Robin Sage You can't go wrong with michelin but if you're not going on a track the 4S will do

[@ronhay6511]

Robin - these are great on our roads here. We get the occasional rain, but overall keep in mind these are very comfortable, and the bi-product of a nice stable handeling and grip is going to be comfort as well. They aren't a hard compound per say and they are actually very quiet.

[@mark-u.mp4]

Where's Mike?

[@kcimages5157]

So whats the lowest ambient temp they can be safely used at ?

[@endlezzdrft]

40° is the cut off. Anything below you run the risk of cracking

[@paulburton6832]

​@@endlezzdrft Just asked the question to Michelin they replied 44.6° F or 7° C MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 S is a summer tyre so we recommend to use it above 7 degrees. It can be used below 7 as well but not for long time periods. So if the temperature drops below 7 degrees for long periods in your area, we recommend to use winter tyres during this time. If its's 2-3 days below 7, summer tyres are OK, for longer periods winter tyres are better and safer option.

Bought for my GTR-- no traction. My run flats had more traction for launch. Running 30psi , 295s on the back. What's the break in? i've ran them for at least 300-400 miles.

Better grip off the line, especially when they are cold (you don't need as much of a warm up lap to achieve maximum grip)
