Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S * 295/35 R21 Porsche Cayenne GTS 10,000 miles September 23, 2026

Compared to the no-name tires that came with the car, the Pilot Sport 4S changed how the car felt – night and day. It suddenly felt as responsive as a proper sports car.

Noise levels were also far better than the previous tires, though those were no benchmark to begin with. Now that they've worn down to about 3.5–4.5 mm, some drone is starting to set in on the highway.

The car is heavy, but the grip makes it feel much lighter and nimbler. Dry grip is excellent. At the limit they let go progressively. Most of my experience with that is in the wet; in the dry I've felt them start to slip only once, and progressively as well.

As for wear, they wore down fast, but not as fast as the previous ones. To be fair, I should have gone with the SUV version for more tread life, so I can't blame the tires for that.

I bought a new set a few months ago for next season, this time the PS4 SUV. Hope they're as good.
Maybe I am a little to harsh on the ratings due to my car not being the car kept in mind when developing the PS4S.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV 295/35 R21 Porsche Cayenne Turbo 14,913 miles September 3, 2026
Significantly quieter rolling than Continental. Slightly higher wear than Michelin. Slightly less precision than Pirelli.

Falken Euroall Season AS220 Pro 295/35 R21 Audi Q7 2,500 miles February 11, 2026
Fitted all round my Audi Q7. Dry grip very good. Cornering good given its a heavy car. Braking excellent. Its a reinforced tyre and has handled pot holes and rough surfaces well. Used for fast country roads and motorway distances - giving confident road holding. Noise levels better than the AS210 I use on a RAV4.

Blacklion Champoint BU66 295/35 R21 Audi Q7 25,000 miles October 15, 2022
These replaced the Pirelli that come as standard, but to be totally honest i rate these just as highly as the Pirelli maybe not just as much mileage but at half the price, it a no brainer !

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 SUV 295/35 R21 Porsche cayenne s 150 miles August 22, 2022
Allright i needed a pair of new tyres for my Porsche Cayenne S 2011 V8, and my garage putted these on (without asking me) so far very noisy, even at low speeds, I’m considering to bring these tyres back to my garage. I don’t like noisy tires at all, especially by nice sounded engines. I will not recommend this tyre for SUV’s with wider size then 275, the test results are all good and Audi and Porsche fit them also from factory on these, but cannot understand why. I think the extra money to get Pirelli or Michelin is worth it.

Yokohama Geolandar X CV G057 295/35 R21 Mercedes Benz ML 10,000 miles December 29, 2021
In the bi-turbo ML63 the G057 is conformable and adapts well to bumpy tracks and long journeys, it is better on wet tracks than the PZERO. For high performance on smooth tracks, PZERO is superior.

Hifly HF201 295/35 R21 Mercedes Benz ML 300 miles November 12, 2021
Stay clear of this brand. Bought 4 of these tyres for my car and learnt a costly mistake. Tyres were out of shape and they also ran out laterally which caused the car to shake terribly at 100kmh.

Event Semita SUV 295/35 R21 Audi Q7 20,000 miles October 9, 2020
Had these tyres fitted to my Audi q7 tyres gripped hard in dry weather And never really had an issue in wet conditions for a budget tyre I take my hat off to how good they were. Road noise was at a minimum ( no need to turn the stereo up to drown out any tyre noise . Only downside I could really fault was how quick the tread had worn twenty thousand miles only ) two years and now need replacing. So in general an excellent value for money tyre would recommend as good all weather performance on a budget.
