Pilot Sport 4 TIRE REVIEW

Excellent... Great grip and stopping performance in all conditions. They take a good few miles of driving before they bed in but once they're lightly worn they are exceptional

I have more confidence in the wet weather grip and wider range of operating temperatures

Very good. Wet grip is excellent, and dry grip is perfect. I feel very safe with these and braking is no problem.

Absolutely spot on in all conditions. I feel so much safer with these tyres.

Fabulous grip on the car wet. Live in the countryside so roads always nice and slippery. The MPS4 tyres give confidence in pushing the car on

Excellent grip in dry and wet condition even during more "sporty" driving. Tyres have strong side walls so do not get folded during cornering like for example pirelli zero. I have change pirelli zero's after only one year as they get worn around outside of the tyre from hard cornering (tyre pressure and wheel alignment was OK). Michelin is also far better during simple acceleration and braking - poirelli's were loosing traction on fast acceleration on my slightly modified Type R (only 220 bhp) and michelins pilot 4 are far, far better.

Would definitely recommend these tyres the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they are quite expensive.

Awesome tyres even in wet conditions, nice and controlled

The tyres are twitchy and bad handling

PS 4 replaced my Cup 2 tyres even although I had not even seen my car!

First week of December 21 and I drove my old 911 on P Zero to Baltic Germany to collect my new GT3. Mindful of the risk of cold rain, snow and ice I instructed the garage to fit PS 4 in lieu of the Cup 2's. Michelin do not make a 3 season tyre for daily use by UHP sports car owners currently. I drove nearly 2,000kms in freezing rain, ice, snow and wet snow in blizzard conditions. (Don't ask me my average speed!) The tyres are undamaged. I drove very conservatively. I did not have one "heart in the mouth" moment, cornering and braking were both safe and predictable. Looking forwards to driving the PS 4 in the spring when it warms up and then switching to my Cup 2 tyres for the summer. Michelin really need a PS 3 season tyre in Europe, It is available in N American and the Cross Climate 2 is not made in UHP sizes for those of us who daily drive our sports cars.
