Pilot Sport 4 S TYRE REVIEW

Great road holding in all weathers, quiet, little road noise or tram lining.

Excellent grip in all weather conditions; marginally improved dry handling and much better wet handling vs. Goodyear Asymmetric 3 RFT previously fitted. Surprisingly, not quieter than the RFT. Ride/comfort improvement only on sharp edges (small potholes/cement slabs), where the car now "crashes" far less; otherwise very good ride, but not better than with RFT. Higher rolling resistance (and consumption) for the first 1500 miles on Michelin - now improving, but not (yet?) as good as the Goodyear.

Miles better that the tyres that came off. The car feels planted to the road and doesn’t make me nervous.
