Michelin Pilot Sport 4

Excellent all round tyres – These tyres were first bought when they first came out in 2019. They are very quiet, provide good breaking distance and very responsive steering responce. Good for highway, wet weather and corners. They were mainly used for highway, in both dry and wet weather. Fast forward to 2023 and I got 65,000 kms out of them with about 5000-10,000 of… Read more

thread life left in them. They got rotated every 10,000 kms or at every service, hense the long life. They do with very minimal notice tend to get loud as they come to their end of life. Same goes to the breaking distance, not as close compared to when new. I never noticed any improvement in fuel economy. These are the first set of tyres which I've had without having to use a temp spare in the mean time for the life duration. They live up to their name and backed by a good brand. To put these tyres on your car it comes to driver attitude and maintainance.

Update: At the time of this post its March 2024 and these tyres I got 72,000 kms out of them. This is with rotation every 6 months when the car was due for a service. They lasted me exactly 4.5 years in total. Proven Long lasting tyres proving you take care of them for the duration of their life.

Fantastic performance road tyres – I’m a self confessed tyre nut. I drive my cars hard and rely on my tyres a lot. That includes a range of vehicles, with a range of intrinsic performance capacity. I expect my tyres to not be a dramatic rate limiting factor. That includes my Ute, my SUV, my sons Subaru, my Slk sports car and my AMG muscle car. Having tried many brands over many… Read more

years. I now only use Michelin’s.

I have super sport on the Subaru. I get scared before the tyres even suggest any complaint, even in the wet, high speed 100kph roundabout.

I have PS4 on the two mercs. Excellent on slk. More wheel spin on amg than I would like, but that’s a failing of the car, not the tyres - 255kw with no LSD!

Wear rate is high, as expected with gripy tyres. That’s the price you pay for performance.

Latitude sport on X5 are top of the range available for run flats. They start to reach their edge sooner than pilot sport, but it’s a heavy vehicle, and they don’t claim to be ultra high performance. But they still meet the criteria of not being a rate limiting step for the vehicle. I wouldn’t want to drive the X5 much harder than these tyres are quite comfortable with - wet and dry road.

Job was done efficiently and professionally on time.Installer was friendly and polite and didn’t make me feel like an id*ot for not knowing about the tyre installation process. Show details

Our previous T0 version of these tyres were great the new T1 are much quieter with the same handling and feel Show details

My service from Mobile Tyre Service was impeccable. From my first call to the service, the visit and subsequent tyre replacement, I couldn't fault them. They anticipated the choice of tyre, explained the process, checked the balanced and were gone in less that an hour. Show details

Solid tyres! It grip well in both dry and wet. Feel stable, even when pushing it a bit. Not noisy, and the ride’s pretty comfy too. Bit pricier than others but they’re holding up well so far. Show details

Excellent tyres – Great tyres with long tread life. Used these for over 45,000kms and it is time for a change soon. Nonetheless, they are still great handling in dry and wet conditions. Noise can be a bit rough. Show details

The tires that I trust for my families' safety – Lot's of site raving about this tires and they are 100% right. Exceptional wet performance. Aqua-planning is a thing of the past with this tyre. Been on the Pilot Sport bandwagon since the PS3 and now, they took it another notch. Can't wait to buy their future PS5. Show details

Worst tyres I ever bought – These must be the worst tyres I ever bought. They wear out unevenly across the tread of each tyre. And two tyres on one axle wore out at completely at different levels. I kept the tyres in top condition keeping an eye on tyre pressures, balance and tracking. But these tyres are total rubbish. Show details

quite soft rubber – I have had these on my old Merc (C300) for 6 months. Handle pretty well in the wet and dry, but very soft rubber that leaves black tread marks all over my painted driveway! (Our other 2 cars don't leave any marks...) Show details

Not too bad – I was hoping to get Michelin “Made in France” but got Michelin “Made in China”. That disappointed me somewhat because i couldn’t be sure of the quality control. I haven’t driven on them much but so far they seem okay. I have Yokohama tyres on the rear wheels and they are good. The Michelins replaced the original factory-fitted Continentals that… Read more

are a softer compound but I got 53,440 km out of them so I shouldn’t complain.

I removed all four wheels off my car to change my brake fluid and did the routine stone removal and inspection for foreign objects. Surprisingly the Michelins didn’t hold any stones at all; none!

I would have preferred the tyre to have a little rim protection on the outer sidewall to prevent kerb rash. That is my only gripe.

Great handling - good buy – Handles great, not too much noise, good grip. Changed to these tyres after Pirelli's and felt a big difference - tracks better doesnt waver and comfortable to drive on. Will buy again. Show details

Wonderfull Tyres – These are close to the best tyres you can get I always make sure that they are the only ones on my car. You can never be safe enough and these are the safest.

Outstanding grip a little noisy – These tyres have astonishing traction. In fact, no matter how hard I pushed them they never skidded. A true performance tyre. The only downside is they began to crack a bit on the outside edge as they got older and do become a bit noisy as they wear. If you want to be super-glued to the road wet or dry, the Michelin man has certainly done it again!

Tyres that perform – Michelin Pilots were recommended by a trusted friend. Had a set fitted 12 months ago and I am very happy with the performance both dry and wet. The handling is well above average and they are very quiet on the highway. In terms of wear I have done about 15,000 klm and so far very little wear at all. Price wise these are outstanding value for money.  Show details

Changing all my cars to this tyre – Got these on a Honda Civic Type R and the grip is mind blowing. Going into a corner faster than you think the tyres can handle and they keep on gripping and turning in. Reasonably cheap for the performance that they offer. Run them at 42 - 45psi Prior to these i had the Continental equivalent and they are worlds apart. Show details

Best tyre I've driven on by far! – FWD turbo with 225/40 R18s. Previously driven similar cars on Bridgestones (Turanza and Potenza) and Dunlop Sports (sorry, but I forget exact model). The Michelins are hands-down the best tyre I've driven. I live in Far North Queensland so there's been plenty of wet weather driving over the years - the road-holding that these tyres have in the wet… Read more

(both drizzle/slick surface and full-on downpour) is outstanding! They give you incredible confidence pushing into a corner and the feedback is excellent. I've put about 3000kms on my set so far and the ONLY negative I can think of is noise over very coarse bitumen, otherwise pretty much perfect! I previously swapped Bridgestone Duelers on my ute over to Michelin LTX force and the difference was HUGE - I am a total convert to Michelin. They may be a touch more expensive than some competitors but in my opinion they are worth every cent.

mind blowing Grip – I have a very light and powerful FWD and have not been able to find tyres that don't spin at every green light. Until i fitted PS4, 235/45/17. I can not spin these even when i try. Cornering in wet or dry is the Same!! infact they seem to grip better when it rains. Also ive done 20000km on these and still plenty left. Hands down the best ive ever had in 30 years of driving. Show details

First 200kms – The 4 x PS4 tyres replace the OEM Bridgestone's that came on the 2018 Mk7.5 Golf GTI. (225/40 r18) Overall grip and wet controlled are improved, noise at speed is less. So far these live up the the hype Show details

Two cars, excellent Tyre on both – Fitted 215/45 17s to Megane hatch, super quiet and best grip wet or dry, shortest stoping distance and wonderfull Corning ability. Also fitted 225/40 18s to Skoda Octavia RS, great!!!!!! Show details

Great grip in the wet – These tyres are great handling in the wet. Always been using Michelin's but recently swapped to the Pilot Sport 4's and love them so much more than the previous generation. Quieter on the road and feel like I'm in more control when driving.

Fan of Michelin – These tyres are great handling in the wet Had Michelin on my VT Commodore for 10 years and Now have a VY ute and VF ssv Sedan Commodore both fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Dunlop and Bridgestone just don't compare , For Safety and Performance and Durability I fully trust Michelin + Show details

Great grip in the wet – I put these on an Audi A4 back in December, replacing some OEM Pirelli’s, and what a difference, they are quieter and the grip in wet conditions is nothing short of amazing I can’t comment on wear yet as I have only done about 3000ks with them, so hoping they go the distance! Show details

So quiet and grippy – Brilliant tyres in wet and dry. So good you never even notice them as they just work. I have been across Australia and back, driven for 3 years and very little wear. Show details ·  1

Deserving of their high reputation – A few months ago I had to choose which tyres should replace the factory Dunlop Sports on my FG Falcon XR6. After a lot of research, I chose a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4. For me, the priorities were quietness and good all-weather grip for relaxed long distance touring. As I don't drive this car every day, and I'm not one for wheel spins and… Read more

donuts, durability was not so important.

All I can say is that these tyres have more than met my expectations, and I would have no hesitation in buying more in the future, or recommending them to others. They are very quiet, and much quieter than the Dunlops, especially on coarse surface roads. They hang on beautifully in all weathers and give a nice ride and steering feel. In short, they make driving a pleasure, especially long distance touring: just so smooth, quiet and competent. Switchbacks and sweeping corners can be approached and taken with great confidence.

They brake well in all weathers with no fear of sliding to a stop on wet or greasy roads. In a nutshell, they are very effective and civilized, and excellent value for a mid-price tyre. They may not look as aggressive as some other tyres out there but so what when they do what a good tyre is supposed to do.

Fortunately, my local tyre business agreed to come very close to matching the price of a substantially cheaper online seller, and this was the icing on an already good outcome. I got each tyre for a little over $200 fitted, so don't be afraid to do some haggling.

Incidentally, this dealer recommended 40 psi. Even at this pressure, the ride is good, although I'm usually happy with a pressure in the high thirties.

They really help fuel economy. On a recent run from Sutherland to Picton, the trip computer recorded 7.7l/100km (36.7mpg), which is outstanding for a four-litre six cylinder of almost 200kw. When I did the return journey home, the total figure was 7.8l/100km. I didn't use cruise control and kept to the speed limits, using the car's great low down torque instead of needless loud pedal. The low rolling resistance and high 30s tyre pressure really help with fuel economy.

In short, they are, in my opinion, outstanding tyres in every aspect of driving.

Pilot Sport 4 245/45 ZR17 99Y – First time using Michelin tyres, after hearing some good things about this series, and seeing them at a great price locally recently. Fantastic tires. Very responsive steering, and no more wheel spin in the wet. Very happy with the purchase. Show details
