Michelin Pilot Sport 4S vs Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport - Long Term Real World Test

Follow me here: / jonathan__benson
Watch the full tyre test - • The ULTIMATE tyre test...
This is a long term real world tyre test of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and the new Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport.
1,500 miles were driven on each set of tyres on an e92 BMW M3 and BMW M2 Competition in the dry, wet, hot and cold!
Both tyres are excellent road and track UUHP tyres (ultra ultra high performance), and both have very similar grip and performances in the dry and wet, so this video mostly looks at the subjective handling and feel differences of the tyres in the real world, including comfort, noise, steering feel, steering feedback etc.
This video was shot before the Covid-19 lockdown.
Thank you to Specialist Tyres in Letchworth for helping with the fitting and letting me film the introduction there.

As I know a lot of people will be asking about wear, here's my take: Wear is interesting. No one has done a proper test on these tyres, and sadly for me it's too expensive and time consuming to do properly. as you need to drive both sets of tyres for around 10,000km in convoy so you cover EXACTLY the same roads and conditions. What I can say is this. Michelin is regarded as having a wear advantage in this (and all) segments, however recent testing shows that Goodyear and Continental have caught up, and in some tests, overtaken Michelin. See this link as an example: www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2020-Auto-Bild-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm It will be interesting to see how people find the Goodyear once reviews start appearing on the website. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S definitely wears very well for this segment.

[@stewartmacdonald601]

I was going to ask exactly this. As if these tyres really are so closely matched, then wear rate would maybe come into play a bit more. I have a set of Eagle G1 A5's on my daily car just now (2015 Focus 1.5 TDI), and have put around 18k on them so far. And there is still loads of life left. Quite impressive. So much so, that having recently bought bigger wheels for it, I put the same tyres on again, but have yet to swap the wheels over. When I do, the old wheels will hopefully go on my 2007 Clio 197 to "finish off" the tyres. Also because the Clio currently has some Toyo rubbish on it just now.

[@PetrolheadTours]

Having switched from the factory MSS to MPS4S on one of our M2’s, I think we may switch to the Eagle SS on our other M2 and see how they compare back to back. Our two cars do the same miles under the same conditions so we should be well placed to have a go 👌

[@onehorsepower]

In one month I'll have had mine a year. Three previous sets were Michelins. Can't say I can notice they wear any faster...

[@gap816]

More than Wear I'd be interested to know the consistency of the tyres through time, and not just of one set but multiple examples of them in different DOT's. Which will be best in let's say 3 years time with some heat cycles in them. I know new are good but I know it's practically impossible to rightly measure that. Enjoyed the Review though!

[@florianfixman9604]

Wear level is important but finally what counts is the level of performance remaining. You can have a 75% weared tire which is better than a 50% weared tire (see comparison between weared Michelin and new budget tires!). So this require to do also measurement test along the wear test...

[@MisterWrench]

I had PS4S on my previous car, Subaru WRX and loved them. I just changed to a Golf R and first thing I did was change tyres from the stock Contis. I’ve decided to give the Eagle F1 Supersports a go. So far done 2500km on them, and like this review says, they are very close. I’ve had ZERO grip issues in the GYs so far. They make the car handle like it’s on rails, and I would know as I am a train driver 😆

[@tyrereviews]

Glad you like them :)

[@AlphaSierra101]

Mister Wrench how to they compare the the continentals?

[@MisterWrench]

@@AlphaSierra101 the contis that were OE fitted were ContiSportContact 5P. The GY's are miles ahead, better in every way apart from maybe a bit noisier.

[@spookyreaper1702]

Your car is awd? You’re not going to have grip problems

[@MisterWrench]

@@spookyreaper1702 Having AWD doesnt automatically mean your car will be able to put down 100% traction all the time. If that WAS the case, I could put $20 tyres on my car and it would run exactly the same. I pushed the stock Continentals on the Golf R, and felt they were at their limit fairly easily, whereas the Goodyears have a lot more in them. Same with the stock Dunlops vs Michelins on my previous Subaru WRX

[@385949862]

The supersports are the predecessors to the ps4s. Having driven both, especially the wet performance of the ps4s is way better. In most other aspects the tires are quite similar while I‘d still give the ps4s the all around edge there as well (which might be due to my comparison being based of new ps4s and well used 3 y/o pss). All in all there is no reason for me to prefer the pss.

[@philipjamesparsons]

I did buy the F1 SS, on the basis of your previous review; they are superb. On the road they are as stiff as you'd want but good wet and dry. I've also used them on track for 500 miles. In the dry, they are probably about as fast as Nankang NS2R semi slicks. In the wet they are awesome and work even in very cold temperatures. These are ideal tyres for those that want a UHP tyre that works on the road and in all likely conditions on the track. Price was £400 fitted in 235/40/18, cheap I'd say

Have a full set of Michelin PS4S on my C63, I believe it’s the only tyre that aspires confidence and the grip you need with all the torque the car has to offer on UK roads and varying weather. Wear has been great too, 5k miles in of pretty hard driving and still looking good on the rears. Decent offers on Kwik Fit usually so not crazy expensive either on 19s

Great review and quite similar to our experience with our 2019 Audi RS 3 now running 18x8.5 Neuspeed RSe10 wheels, using the Michelin in 245/40/18 size. The additional tire height helps survive our poor country back road conditions, that killed the stock 235/35/19 Pirelli SUMMER ONLY tires within THREE DAYS! Keep up the great reviews and we certainly appreciate your work!

[@church493]

Thanks for yet another good review. And yet another that makes me angrier of these "holy trio" tires by each praising review, due none available in 17" in EU. I'd wish to get any of them, but 18" seems only size they start come off, with lesser sizes covered only by more street oriented (PS4/Asymmetric5) or much more track oriented models (Cup2). Nothing for R17 from this "sweet spot" of inbetween, except older models like PSS/AD08R. No clue, how manufacturers guide themselves on choosing sizing lineup, no clue why latest tires of this class in 17 are sold in USDM only.

[@tyrereviews]

I don't disagree :(

[@omaralmaghrabi]

Liked! As usual great review Jonathan. I can attest to every word said about the PS4S. It's just a great tyre and for those asking about wear, I have put 10000 km on my 600hp Mustang with 6mm of tread left on harsh Australian Bitumen. I was waiting for your review on the Goodyear F1 supersport which seems like an impressive offering. As you pointed in the video: I guess price will be a deciding factor for my next set (Michelins are now offering rebates and cash backs to stay competitive as many good tyre offerings like the Contis are offering a bang for a buck performance).

[@tyrereviews]

Let me know what you end up deciding!

[@omaralmaghrabi]

Tyre Reviews Ended up going with PS4S on the merit (and you will not believe this Jon) the price! The Goodyear given it’s currently being newest bestest are going for a premium of $50 more per tyre whereas the PS4S is going for less cash back included ($100 discount if you buy 4).

Thanks for this review. It's nice to know that either tyre would be a photo finish. Personally, my next set will be the Goodyear because they are what I'm familiar with. However, I'm hoping the super sports are a step up from the asymmetric I have currently. Of course, what is the best tyre also depends on what car it is put on. I'm using 265/35/18 on the back - 225/35/18 on the front of a 1250kg TVR Cerbera, so there is not much weight on the tyres, especially at the back.

I have just had these put on my Nissan 370z gt edition yesterday 245 40 19 front 275 35 19 rear and I can only say that the review given saying they seem to make you want to drive more is 100% spot on. I am amazed by these tyres it's almost like you know exactly what's going on all the time,hard to explain but you take of quick from a junction and the rear gived a nice little flick out but was like it was in slow motion and you have time to access exactly what's going on without even having to think. As it was late when the fitter had finished at home I left it till this morning to go test them,I went out at 11am to go get some shopping and I walked through my front door just before 4pm and forgot to even go the shop lol. Obviously this is my own personal opinion on my car and with this being my 187th car I do have a little experience with the feel of different cars, tyres etc. I have to go back to what was said about the tyres make you feel like you want to keep driving and I discovered something today that I had forgotten.! When you have your music on feeling totally relaxed driving hard and you feel like the car is part of you and you have thay tunnel vision waiting for that next piece of road you can smash that red line. Already I know what some may think that I am being a bit dramatic but for those reading who understand a naturally aspirated 370 bhp through rear wheel drive on a nice dry day will get it. I really am genuinely amazed. Oh and by the way I'm 50 this year and today I felt like I did when I got my 1st car mu little xr2 fiesta when I was 18.🤪👍👍👍

after watching a few videos here i decided next tire change i was going to get something sporty. Decided on the Michelin PS4, went out and got some liberty 17" rims for my 07 impreza (NA) and got a set of 4. the change in handling is crazy, less body roll, better braking, wet performance is utterly amazing compared to the previous Yokohama's i had. Overall tire life seems to be doing better than the Yokohamas (AE50) with less sidewall wear and with much better dry and wet handling and as a bonus only ended up being only $60 more for 4 PS4's over the AE50's. While the car isn't anything performance oriented the bonus in handling makes it heaps better for windy roads

based from personal experience, I am getting good results from my goodyear tire...original tires were conti and wear was pretty fast on those... would like to try michelin but too expensive...

[@b-zero3190]

Many thanks. Based on this video, I decided to switch from michelin to the goodyear on my M2. I am looking forward to the result.

[@tyrereviews]

Ooo let me know how you find the switch!

[@heisenberg5452]

and?

[@PatrickNFD]

Awesome review man! I'm thinking about getting the AD08RS for my E36 as a road going fast road car... any chance of a review on that?! Top work as always.

[@tyrereviews]

It's on the list for the M3, if that ever gets built :)

[@bbbt8090]

Had the AD07s, pilot super sport, 4s and Firestone Indy 500. The Ad07 side wall was e-mazing, seemed like I had put on a set of stiffer springs on my car. Overall the 4s is still the best street tire for the money and wear.

[@Mucus1972]

Great review, thanks! I recently fitted PS4S replacing PSS and they are far superior. I also have them on a M2C. Really keen to know what tyre pressures you run and recommend please?

[@tyrereviews]

I've not played with pressures yet so have run stock

[@TurboPeeen]

Great review as always. Additionally it would be good to know the weight of each tyre and after 1500 miles on both, what the wear rate was

[@tyrereviews]

A nice idea, but without convoying cars, wear testing is very unreliable which is why I didn't mention it.

[@Trendyflute]

Thanks for your review! After being a big Michelin fan since the mid-00s for performance tires, I've lost a lot of enthusiasm with the most recent generation of Pilot Sport, basically because the feel has gotten more comfort-oriented. That direct engagement and impossible-to-overheat feeling from the Pilot Exalto PE2 and Pilot Super Sport now seems to be more readily found in a Continental Extreme Contact Sport or Bridgestone Potenza RE-003. Given the price premium for a Michelin, they will not be my next UHP tire buy.

[@tyrereviews]

Let me know what you try next!

[@Trendyflute]

@@tyrereviews I already run the Conti ECSs on my Miata and they are really great tires!

[@kenlawton1531]

Love your reviews. Will you be doing another multiple summer Tyre comparison again? I have Maxxis VS5 on my car, brilliant Tyre so far. Would love to see how they stack up against the competition. They seem to get reasonable reviews.

[@tyrereviews]

Assuming we can ever go back to work, it will be a 16" summer tyre test this year, going back to bigger sizes next year :)

[@integritymotorcar2334]

Nice video...thank you. Had a thought for a new video. It would be nice to see a comparison between an OE, and non OE tire of the same make and model. For example, a Porsche 911 driven with Michelin PS4S N1 vs. Michelin PS4S without the 'N' rating. We seem to get customers every so often that ask if there is really a difference. For us, the difference is substantial with respect to how they fit on the rim, the types of numbers they yield on our balancing equipment, what they feel like when driving, and how well we're able to align the car. I'm also curious about your background that led you into tire testing? Keep up the good work and stay healthy. Thanks again.

[@tyrereviews]

I'm HOPEFULLY shooting MPSS * (BMW OE) vs PS4S on an M2 as soon as lockdown is over! There was no direct path for me into tire testing, luckily I'd had support of some great companies years and years ago which was a huge plus

[@MartijnvandeGrift]

Tyre Reviews I’m deciding between those two on my M2. For which should I go?!

[@Maxzor11]

I went with the Goodyear's because they where like 300€ cheaper. Really happy with them!

[@tyrereviews]

Great, feel free to leave a review on www.tyrereviews.co.uk sometime :)

[@safekraka]

Great video, very informative. I have a Mk3 Focus RS and My pilot super sports are just about gone. Loved them as a fast street tyre. I am gathering that the 4s will be just as good?

[@tyrereviews]

They're different. There's a view videos on it :)

[@kotfast]

Would love to see a real life test of the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 vs Michelin PS4

[@tyrereviews]

I shall work on it!

[@RobHolroyd]

@@tyrereviews Yes do it! So many car enthusiasts debate on this one.

[@boabm6522]

I ditched my PS4 for F1 Asy5 and IMO (for my car anyway(FWD)) the GY is a far better tyre, steering is much more responsive and sticks to the road like glue in the wet, the PS4's at time felt like driving on ice. Not had much dry road time but I'm sure the will fair just as well as the PS4's.

[@stockholmsweden4122]

I really like your work, well done ! I just wonder why there is no review's about PIRELLI on your channel ? I was thinking it is second best brand after Michelin?!

[@tyrereviews]

Sometimes availability, sometimes experience, sometimes market demand

[@john_c1]

Very subtle livery :))

[@Cola99967]

7 years with PS4s, for me the best tires, thinking of trying the F1 next season, shall I try or not?

[@felixb9146]

Great review, as always! Can you please let me know which of the 2 has the wider thread, hence better rim protection? (i know that the tested sizes are exactly the same, however there seem to be differences in width between producers, on the same exact tyre size). Thanks in advance!

[@tyrereviews]

wheel width doesn't always equal rim protection, they need a extra bit of rubber to add that

[@Lfkoda]

I use Michelin as I find them to last longer too. 9k miles done wear is minimal :)

[@beeswaxx3.8]

The Michelin looks a little wider for being the same size as Goodyear. The Goodyear also seems like a heavier tyre.

[@krisc6644]

Thanks to your last tire-review i chose the goodyear eagle f1 supersport over the michelin p4s for my 2016 civic type r, they were also quiet a bit cheaper per tire, and if they are around the same. Just got them yesterday, so with the corona shit it is somehow of a wait to see if it was a good choice… but grip with a fwd is my main concern.

[@tyrereviews]

Can't wait to see your review!

[@MartinSTI02]

It´s good to know science, lap times, brake distances etc. but as you said today top tier tyres are so close that making review just about tyre characteristics and behaviour is the best thing you can do. Tyres are so close but every car is different and mostly have different tyre size. So if you are more GT driver in M5 you should probably use different tyre than for your trackday M2 and is good to know which has less noise or more feedback even if difference is small. Thank for great review!

[@tyrereviews]

Perfect points :)

[@Easy2take]

How about Pirelli P Zero? How much worse are they compared to Michelin PS4S? I'm currently driving P Zero Nero 245/40 R18 but they are not enough...if I slam my brakes hard on a dry road, ABS is poping until I stop, I would like to get tires with more grip.

[@notchipotle]

This is what I was looking for

[@tyrereviews]

I hope you liked it

[@leonnovak3319]

I bought Michelin Pilot Sport 4S last year. I did little over 40.000 KM, super pleased whit performance. Style of driving - lets say enthusiastic, nothing to crazy. Now front tires are worn on the edges (alignment is OK), centre has around 3-4mm of meat, rear are worn in the centre down to 2-3mm because I was driving whit a bit to high tire pressure - on purpose. They have around 10.000 KM of tread left, so I am planing to use all of it and buy new set of Michelin's. They are highly recommend for daily whit a lot of highway use. I drive Mercedes C 200 CDI.

[@30_sum]

Those goodyears got a jolt to them! Been stuck with goodyear eagle sport tires for past 5 years. I was surprised to hear that Michelins are quieter. I thought goodyear were pretty quiet tires when I first tried them. Makes me think about sound-deadening.....

[@S50CLL]

These are the two tyres in consideration, when the factory fitted Potenza S001’s need replacing. I really rated the PS4’s on my Clio, now I have the Megane, running 19’’, I can experience the PS4S. I don’t rate the Potenza’s tbh, cornering grip is ok and feedback is decent, but there seems to be a severe lack under acceleration. I guess I’ll have to flip a coin to decide. Great advice, thank you 👍

[@tyrereviews]

Agreed, wet grip is bad on the Bridgestone too

[@douglasshouganai2516]

May go for the Goodyears for my next set. Darn Seattle rain.

[@tyrereviews]

Not a bad shout!

[@mark340d8]

Great video as always, full of interesting and useful content! Goodyear F1SS seem to be more fun to drive but for a daily use I fear they might be a bit too stiff and noisy, this could bother me... I’m about to get a BMW M340d, on 19” wheels, and I want tyres with great performances but also with a decent level of comfort: considering both aspects, in your opinion what could the best choice be between the PS4S and the Conti’s SC6? I have the SC6 on my actual car (Audi A4) and they are great, with the only issue being fast wear, but they deliver plenty of grip, precision and comfort... Thanks again!

[@tyrereviews]

PS4S should have a little more comfort. I think. Maybe. It's so close now!

[@mark340d8]

Tyre Reviews Thank you Jonathan! 🙏🏻 Between the two which one would you choose... and why? 😁

[@stepwaymotivation4661]

*Would it be ok if I put Michelin for the fronts and Goodyear on the rears? (I have 2015 F-Type R RWD)*

[@stevesloan6775]

Ive put over 3000km of spirited driving on a set of Super-sports and they are holding up well in wear. Where I live has a lot of 35Km corners, so good tires are king.
