Pilot Sport 4 S TYRE REVIEW

Very very well totally transformed the feel and handling

Very very well totally transformed the feel and handling

Superb tyre in the wet or dry .

Lacked confidence in previous worn tyres but new tyres are a night and day improvement.

Great all round. Superb grip

Previously had these and the super sports on my BMW E90 330i and loved them that car came with Dunlops from BMW the performance was better but not world changing. I had recently upgraded to a BMW F30 Active Hybrid 3 it came with mismatched front and rear Maxxi and Avons respectively, the previous owner sold it because they felt it too powerful and unstable. I found the exact same problem and it to be a great example of how important a good tyre is. Before I put the Michelin PS4S on the car would wheel spin on the lightest acceleration from a standstill it would constantly try and oversteer in corners just horrible to drive it was like driving in light ice conditions. I put the Michelin PS4S on and it was night and day suddenly It was difficult to get it to wheel spin and step out in turns. I could take corners with confidence I could not only stop without the ABS kicking in but hard stop and sooner at that. I had quite often wondered in the 4 years using these on my previous car was it really worth the cost could I just step down to a budget tyre and get away with it. The answer I found was no your tyre really does make a world of difference. I couldn't get those budget tyres off faster enough and go back to the black sticky embrace of the Michelin Pilot sport 4s and going into every country road bend at the ready to catch the back end stepping out. Do yourself a favour buy the right tyre.

Good performance tyres.

Great grip and low noise

Excellent - I have used the same tyre for about 4 years. Gives exceptional grip and therefore confidence when driving in the wet

The PS4S feel significantly better than the Pirellis (N1) replaced. Certainly better grip in the wet and cold, and now in the warm weather the inspire more confidence in the twisties. Whereas with the Pirellis I was always waiting for the point at which the front end went in the horrible understeer. The PS4S keep the car moving in the direction they are pointed. A bonus is the noise from the Ackerman affect afflicted on Porsches is reduced
