Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Review | Best Street Tire?

[@videomaniac108]

I have a 2019 370Z sport coupe with 13,000 miles that carried Bridgestone Potenza S007s as the OEM tire. I just replaced those with the MPS4S and my observations parallel yours about the tire. The Michelin is quieter and has a softer ride over bumps and road surface irregularities, plus it has a lower rolling resistance with a slight increase in my MPG. However, the tire is not as immediate and firm in its response to abrupt steering inputs as the Potenzas. When doing slalom-like lane changing the Potenzas behaved as if they were on rails and were very firmly planted. The feeling of the Michelins is lighter and more vague. I think the two main differences are the lower amount of tread void area and stiffer sidewalls of the Potenza. It seems that the Michelins are aimed at a different kind of car and driver than the Z and myself, as I rank handling precision and control above most other qualities. The Michelins might be better suited for vehicles like big BMW sport sedans, Tesla Model Ss and Porsche Cayennes. From the looks of the tread pattern it seems that the Michelins will perform better in deeper water, although my Potenzas performed very well in handling some pretty heavy rain last year in the SF bay area.

Just Put these on my 2018 Challenger SRT. I can confirm they are amazing for everyday driving. Make the pirelli's that came stock on the car feel like Sh**. Way less spin from launch and none from a roll. Next up is to get 10.5's on the rear so I can drop 305's on and hope that helps.

[@jamesgarville]

Awesome bro! Yeah I’ve been really happy with them. Excited to see how they will preform on the rear as well.

Do they only last 20k? These are a waste if you just cruise around town...

[@jamesgarville]

Not sure how long they last, but like any tire it depends how hard you drive.
