The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Is Simply The BEST Ultra High Performance Summer Tire On The Market!

Everyone really liked the previous Michelin review on the LTX, so I thought I would bring in a few more Michelin tires to review and look at, starting with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4s is simply the best Ultra High Performance Summer Tire on the market and you're about to find out why! This tire is an update from the old Michelin Pilot Super Sport which at one time was the benchmark!
The best applications for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S include high end BMW’s, Mercedes AMG cars, Porsche, Chevrolet Corvette, Ferrari’s, and any other car that you need the ultimate level of performance.
This is very much a maximum performance tire built from lessons learned in endurance racing. But it comes with some need to know details which I cover in the review.

Price doesnt matter, if it can help you brake 1 second earlier and you save your kids life or some pedestrians life then its paid its worth in gold

Ive had these on my Mk7.5 Golf R for nearly 2 years now, totally amazing tyre, crazy grip and they wear really good.

[@barbabarba5534]

All year round ? Rain , summer etc .

[@TheClement402]

You cannot run them in the winter. But I agree with his statement. MPS4s is an amazing tire that hooks like a m'f even in the rain! I've had them on my MK7 GTI for about 3-4 years. And am on my second set. They're about done so I will be purchasing a third set soon

[@johnnygoose9335]

this makes me confident cuz i just bought some. i do change tires to a winter set. wanted to ask, how many summer miles have you total on those tires at the moment and are they still great?

[@billnye7745]

Good to know. Have them on my C63 S

[@salvadorenriquecabrera9387]

I have the exact same car and debating between these of firestone indy 500 but after doing a bit of research I think I’m gonna go with the michelin

[@GTRNights]

Man this dude knows EXACTLY what he's talking about. I have a 2018 C63s that had the Sport Cup 2's. Yes, they gripped but were absolutely dangerous in even slightly wet conditions. They also wore out very very fast. After that (and I do have the staggered setup) I went with these and it's a whole different level. Even more grip and I notice my traction control doesn't kick in nearly as much and I can launch it off the line better. Also, I've driven the car in real hard rain and didn't even notice any skittishness from the tires at all. Everything he said was spot on. These tires are worth every penny in my opinion and I've put them to the test on the C63s. I might even put them on the GT-R.

Nice

I bought a pair of Michelin PS4S for my Porsche Cayman a year ago. They've been great for me so far and I can use them year round since I'm in Texas! They're aren't cheap, but they weren't ludicrous either, especially compared to actual track slicks.

[@Truth_Seeker_79]

Bought a set for my G12 M750ix , drives soo much better than Pzeros previously. Grip, handling, taking off line, is spot on. The beamer wants to keep going faster, even stepping off the pedal its gliding so slowly trying to slow down. The hot weather in FL, make the tires stick like glue to the asphalt. Highly recommend!

Fantastic breakdown on exactly WHY these tires are the best. I ended up buying these for my Porsche Cayenne GTS over the Pirelli P Zeros. Gonna finish out my last winter here in Colorado with the Pirelli Scorpion Winter tires then I’m moving to Florida and will be able to run these year-round rather than for just part of the year in Colorado.

I run MPS4S on my 2001 BMW 740i Sport. These are truly God tires, driving in rain with these tires in a heavy car like the e38 that was really built for the Autobahn is an experience, the car and tires were just blowing past everyone like it was dry out. I live in ATX and most of the year when they warm up they are like glue but if it gets below 40 F they start acting weird.

I take corners on exits on the highway with these on my Model 3 Performance. I can do 70-90mph on exit ramps without budging. The G force on these tires is scary because you hold up at high speeds without knowing it.

[@robg112]

For anyone trying this tire for TRACK or Driver Education and are intermediate to expert, I did 4 (20 min session) on my first time with this tire. The traction was really good, last session, the outside left front which was getting most of the abuse that day delaminated the outside tread. Now that said, I think this might be partially my fault, outside temp. 85 started with 33psi in fronts, the tires went all the way to 47-48 psi when I got them hot on the track and I think with the pressure and how hard I was abusing they either failed because they were out of the operating ranges or it could of been defective. I check tread depth and I'm already half way through the tread life in one day. Grips good, tread life not so good. If your not tracking at all, was great tire for spirit driving and did do great in wet roads. I'm going to try out the Pilot Cup 2 next. Not planning on going at speed in the rain if I get caught in a small afternoon storm will just drive slow or pull over for a coffee.

[@Tom--Ace]

Your pressures were too high! If you're doing track driving, normally the aim is to have somewhere in the region of 30-35 psi when HOT. 47-48 psi is failure territory under track conditions, but you should ask more knowledgeable track experts

[@eujhin24789]

This summer I will get my third set of these in 235/35/2019 for my beloved MK6 TDI...Amazing tires...I think I only get 20k miles (30k km) at max out of them though...The side walls can get some bublles if you hit a pothole VERY HARD...Last summer, we were on our way back from Toronto to Montreal and I hit an indentation on the interstate at 110-120 km/h and I thought the tire must have been seriously damaged, but, except a little buble on the sidewall, Nothing srious happened to it..The rim (VW Cadiz 19 made by Borbet in Germany) got a noticeable dent (Nothing major though)...That rim was refurbished, so it was not at it's maximum strength...If we can get 30k miles with thses tires like it's claimed by Michelin, they would be an excellent bang for the buck, but I am still happy with them...Now I have to fork out 1679.74 CAD$ to get a set compared to 1536.97 CAD$ in 2021 (a 9.3% incease in 2 years becuase of inflation!). There you have it folks from a real life & repetitive consumer!

[@videomaniac108]

I put these tires on my 2019 Nissan 370Z sport to replace the OEM Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires. My only complaint with the tire is that the sidewalls are much less stiff than the Bridgestone's sidewalls. This has resulted in a more comfortable ride with less harshness but the tire is less precise and more vague in its handling. I believe this tire is better suited for a GT touring type of car where comfort is important. For my car and for the kind of driving that I like to do, a more responsive tire is better. I had to increase my tire inflation pressure about 11 psi over what I used in the Bridgestones to compensate for the increased flexibility of the MPS4S tires.

[@CampusautoCo]

Wow. Thanks for the feedback!

[@BubbalooXRS]

You know. I have a 2018 370Z and I was looking to get the S007 but they no longer sell them. Tirerack has them as a special order and they told me it could take months before they even make them. I bought the Pilot Sport 4S. They just arrived yesterday and I will be installing them this week. I hope they give the same performance as the s007. I would’ve bought the same ones but the next best thing were the Michelin’s. Maybe they will get stickier with time regardless of the sidewalk.

[@uswee]

I also have a 2019z with these tires. If you don't mind me asking, what pressure are you running.

[@videomaniac108]

@@uswee I'm running 44 psi in the front pair and 49 psi in the rear. I measure my tread depth every 1K miles and adjust the tire pressures accordingly to achieve even tread wear across the width of the tread. It took we quite awhile to zero in on these pressures, as I would nudge the pressures in 1 psi increments each time. Another side benefit is that the higher pressures suit my driving preferences, with a firmer and better controlled ride with the tradeoff of a little more ride harshness. I had previously installed a set of Hotchkis anti-roll bars on the front and rear to stiffen up the suspension a little more and improve turn-in response, again with the sacrifice of some more ride comfort.

[@uswee]
