Have run these on most of my cars and they have out lasted and out handled even semi-slick race tyres. Amazing tyre for all round conditions.

The first tyre I’ve used to actually live up to the hype. Quiet and smooth ride with firm sidewalls that make the car feel like it’s on rails through the twisted. They’re wearing really well and are super sticky in both the wet and dry.

The instant turn in response was the first thing I noticed when new. Razor sharp! As time has gone on I’ve found them to be a great wearing confidence inspiring tyre in all conditions.

Superceding the Pilot Super Sport (PSS) the Pilot Sport 4 S' (PS4S)are a great replacement of its predecessor. You can expect all areas the PSS was great at to be the same if not slightly better with the PS4Ss

These tyres have never lost traction, even during spirided driving/ cornering. They are a little hard, but that could very well be because I should have chose a slightly wider (and thus taller) size. Very confidence inspiring though, and I haven't heard of or met someone who has them who wasn't satisfied. They look nice too, which isn't of most importance to me, but a bonus for sure.

Well, first of all they are Pilot Sport 3s but this tyre was not listed on your site. The PS4S has succeeded the PS3 in the Michelin range so I take it that, if anything, the PS4S will be even better. Both wet and dry grip have exceeded my expectations and is all I could ever see me needing on the road. Given the type of tyre and the performance and suspension of the car, the ride is more than acceptable and the tyre wear is much better than I had anticipated. Ironically I have a set of Cup 2s ready to put on, which will have more grip, ride a little less comfortably and wear out quicker. With the rate of wear on the PS3s that will not be anytime soon.

Very good Tyre, take a little time to warm up to have maximum traction. Wet weather performance is excellent as is dry performance. Quieter than OEM bridgestones with better grip. Found turn in feedback was not as direct initially as old tyres but this could also be due to new tyres having maximum tread depth and old tyres being just above wear indicators. Now I've had the tyres for 8000k's they have better turn in feedback. Would buy again although not particularly cheap.

Great improvement over Pirelli P Zeros that came with the car.
Great dry road and wet road handling.

These tyres have excellent dry & wet weather grip, very progressive at the limit too. Tyre wear is very good for this type of tyre. They can be a little on the noisy side but probably no worse than the competition. Highly reccomended.

Crabbing in the front end, when wet and cold. Not sure if it is the tyre or the car?
