What owners say
<p>comparative with continental, the rubber is more soft, the grip fantastic, but it seems if you heat them long enough will lose a little bit of grip. (with continental i didn't have that feeling, even the tires were very old) also continental the rubber is a little more hard, so better for potholes.
michelin on wet, even with medium water filled road keep the feeling and handling very good.</p>
<p>Great tires, but i never understood why people associate these with ultra high performance tires. I use these on my daily and find them to be a great allrounder. Comfort is good, grip is good in all conditions, sporty when it needs to be.
Biggest downside is the roadnoise i get at certain speeds. It occured quite early, maybe halfway the wear. When paying for the absolute best, that's not what you expect.</p>
<p>Good tyre. Probably not as good as Continental Sport Contact 7.
Better wear than Sport Contact 7: more miles out of them and better wear on track days</p>
<p>Very good tires, don't wear fast and they are actually more comfortable than the previous Michelin Ps2 I used to run on my car. Excellent grip as always with Michelin.</p>
<p>My set is now 7 years old. I know I probably should have changed them, but they still have plenty of treads left after roughly 20k miles. Yes, I don't drive the car often. I have since added a set for the rear axle (275/30/19), and compared to the old pilot super sport, I can positively say that the PS4S is more comfortable. However, my car is lowered, and the rear tyres rub against the fender when I go over uneven road. Never had this issue with the PSS, so something to keep in mind for those with lowered cars. I dont need to talk about the performance. I think others have covered it, but that added comfort does come at a cost. The PSS felt a bit sharper, but that doesnt mean the PS4S is much worse. The PS4S is a lot more durable than the PSS. I had severe dry rots after 6 years with the PSS, which made me worry about tread separation. The PS4S still looks pristine after 7 years and 20k miles. The PS4S is definitely the best tyre I've ever had so far. Well worth the money.</p>
