Questions and Answers for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4

Ask a question
June 21, 2016

I have a Nissan Leaf (electric). The fuel economy is important to me. How does the fuel economy of the Pilot Sport 4 compare with the original factory fitted Bridgestone Ecopia

The OE Ecopia tyre is a dedicated low rolling resistance tyre, whereas the Pilot Sport 4 is a sport tyre with low rolling resistance. While they've not been tested together, we would expect the Bridgestone to have the slight edge in rolling resistance, but the PS4 to have vastly better wet grip. You can also check the EU rolling resistance label score in your size to give you a better idea.

Are the pilot sport ok for a lotus evora 2009 na?

Assuming you can get the correct tyre size, there's no reason the Pilot Sport 4 wouldn't be a great tyre on a light car like the Evora. If you're coming from a more dry / track focused tyre, you might find you lose some steering feel with the Pilot Sport 4, but gain comfort.
August 8, 2016

Which is the country origin of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 , 245/45/17 ?

Here is the response from Michelin:
Pilot Sport 4 is made in Germany, France, Spain and Italy (in that order predominantly) but may be the odd ones from other plants.
We never have a definitive list size by size, because our quality structures are the same country to country, plant to plant and in most cases the compounds and carcass materials come from the same plants and are "assembled".
We know from testing we've done, we don't have the big differences with identical tyres made in different plants that some manufacturers have.

I am about to change my tyres on my merc E220. I have opted for the reviews on the Michelin Pilot sport 4 but cannot find a 225/50/R17 /98W or Y. Is it available and from where?

It doesn't look like a 225/50 R17 Pilot Sport 4 is available yet. More sizes are being produced all the time.

I have a mazda mx 5 . Is this tyre too good for this car . ? Is it quiet and comfortable ?

Yes, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is both quiet and comfortable. There are quieter tyres on the market however you would lose some sporty feel, which is important on a car like the MX5.

I am driving 2013 BMW 330D Xdrive with dimensions 225/45/R18 and I cant decide is it better to purchase Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or Continental Premium Contact 6??? It is very hard to find those two tyres in comparison in this dimensions! I am looking only for the best tyre!

This test should answer your questions. Pilot Sport 4 in 1st place, Premium Contact 6 in 3rd, using your size.

Hi there, I have an e39 M5.. usually use Michelin Super Sports which are priced the same as the PS4.. I have 18" wheels to PS4s isn't available in my size.. Which is a better tyre the Super Sport or the standard PS4 (no s)...

In 99% of cases, the newer PS4 is the better tyre. The PSS has the edge in dry grip, feedback and track day work, but if you're using the tyre on the road you won't be disappointed with the PS4.

BMW 318i with Contipremiumcontact 2, im looking to get some new tires didn't mind how these handled although they had slight under steer in wet if pushed im looking at PS4 and the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance only problem is the PS4 dont come in the current size on the car and the Goodyears do. My question is would there be a benefit coming down from 225/50/16 to 205/55/16 so i can fit these tires are they really that much better in the wet/dry/ect... that the loss of with wont matter

Without specific testing it is too difficult to answer properly, however it's worth noting you will have to declare the new tyre size as a modification to your insurance company which is reason enough to stay with the OE size.

Shouldn't this tire be labeled as "Ultra High Performance" and not "Max Performance" as it is the direct replacement for the Pilot Sport 3? The Pilot Sport 4 S is the "Max Performance" as it is the direct replacement for the Pilot Super Sport.

It's an interesting question. The Pilot Sport 4 is the direct replacement of the Pilot Sport 3, but Michelin moved the game on so much with regards to sporty handling and feel of the tyre it deserves to be in the higher category.

Hi, for a Honda Civic 1.8 petrol 2010 tyres 225/40/R18 Y XL would Michelin PS4 or Pirelli PZero PZ4 give best ride comfort? I know Goodyear Asmm. 3 offer good ride but currently I have Potenza S001 at front PS3 rear so concerned about softer sidewall of Goodyears. Many thanks.

I've not tested them back to back so I'm unsure which would be more comfortable, but if I had to guess based on experience I would say the P Zero PZ4 would be slightly more comfortable than the Pilot Sport 4.

Hello. My Audi A4 Quattro needs only Front Tyres at the moment. I would like to fit Pilot Sport 4. Do you think these will behave ok with the standard fit Hankook Ventus S1evo2 that are on the back? Thanks

Both tyres are produced within the allowable size guidelines so technically they should work fine together, however it might be worth checking owners forums to be sure.

Hi guys! I am using this tyre (Pilot Sport 4) on a Hyundai Genesis Coupe also equipped with B14 Bilstein coilovers... I have 225/40/19 front and 245/40/19 rear... BUT I still haven’t found a proper pressure tyre to set, in order to feel a good feedback and feeling from the car... I feel it not coumicative, and on the fast straight I find a little vagueness in the center if I move left/right of few cm on the steering (with pressure at 2.3 bar) What di you recommend??

Sadly the PS4 is a little vague due to the higher levels of comfort. I can't recommend anything specific, but a small amount of over inflation can help with steering response.

I really want PS4"S" for my 18inch E46 M3. BUT they are only 19 inch at the moment right? So given I want decent performance on track, do I go Cup2 or would these non "S" PS4's be ok?

Hey there. I own a '06 Mercedes E550. I just bought a set of lighter 18'' rims and next summer, I want to fit new 245/40 tyres. I only drive 4000kms in the summer, rarely spirited, so wear is not a concern. Yet I demand a good steering response and light weight to make for a more nimble feel of the car. I think I wanna go with the PS4, yet I think about the Falken 510 also. In the past, I regretted fitting mid range tyres. But due to the low miles, and the good test, I feel like giving the 510s a try. Yet I fear that they will be overwhelmed by the weight of the car and the V8 on the front axle. Would you recommend just going with the PS4 or could the 510s be an option?

I'm not sure either the PS4 or FK510 will be the answer to your question, both have quite soft sidewalls. If steering precision is your drive above all else, something like the Vredestein Vorti R might be a good tyre to look into.

I going to replace my Jaguer XF3.0 tyre, previously I tried Pzero and Pilot Super sport. could you please comment if I change to PS4 (no S), I'm not an aggressive driver, want maintain the sport feeling but a little more comfort and silent...

The PS4 won't feel as sporty as the Pilot Super Sport, but will certainly more comfortable and quieter and it has excellent wet grip, so would be a good choice for your Jag.

Hello! I'm about to replace the Michelin Energy tires on my VW Golf5. I'd like to extract more sportiness and feel out of the car while retaining a solid and safe daily driver with nice comfort and low noise. Aiming for the Pilot Sport 4 or the PremiumContact 6. The Golf is not a sports car but since i dont wear tyres too fast, the price premium is not that much considering the relative small 205/55 R16 size, so both fits within my budget. Which one would you think suit me (or the car) better? I heard a few complaints about the PS4-s behaving jelly-like when pushed. Im aware that a road tyre in this size, no matter the brand, wont give the kind of feedback as a smaller sidewall variant with a bigger wheel would, so that behaviour might still be the same with a PC6-s in the same size. Whats your take on this? Thank you in advance, and keep up the great content!

The differences between the Pilot Sport 4 and PremiumContact 6 are now so small both tyres will be an excellent option if available in your size.

I am driving 2008 Audi A5 1.8 TFSI 170 FWD and I can't decide whether to go for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 245/40 ZR18 (93Y) or Michelin Pilot Sport 4 245/40 ZR18 93Y AO. Would there be any differences? May AO tire be "outdated" in 2019? What is your recommendation?

Generally with OE marked tyres it's recommended to go with the correct version where possible as this will have been tuned to work with the vehicle suspension etc. The PS4 isn't old enough to worry about the AO version being out of date.

There I have a VW Mk5 GTI (FWD) with coilover suspension and the car is modified around 300hp, I mainly drive on the road and would like to do a bit of track during the year (also we have around 185 days of rain in average per year). Do you think that tire would be suitable for that use? (225/40R18 92Y)

We suggest looking at our video comparing all three Michelin Pilot tyres here.

I have a Volvo V60 with 235/40R18 W95 fitted. As the Ixion alloys seem to have a ridiculously wide edge to the rim, is the rim protector on the Pilot Sport 4 a decent size? Also, would up-sizing to a 245 width increase the size of said rim protection? Are there any other recommendations you can make for the largest rim protection you're aware of?

Rim protection varies by tyre size, and wheel width also plays a huge factor so it's impossible to say with any accuracy. Changing tyre size is also impossible to recommended due to the many other factors it effects.

Hi guys, i'm driving a Ford Fiesta MK8 with this Michelin Pilot Sport 4. I'm in italy and here temperatures never go below 0C, or in any case there is never snow and ice but just rain. I've to buy winter tires, or can I go with this Michelin all of the year? I used them for a winter, and seems they went very cool.

Below around 5c in the wet, a winter tyre will offer an advantage, but in the dry, the PS4 will always have the better grip. If you're not seeing snow or ice, there's no issues with running the Pilot Sport 4 all year.

I want to replace the standard Bridgestone Potenza's on my MX-5 ND 2.0 with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 but which exact spec is best? Michelin's website recommends 205/45 ZR17 (88Y) DT1, 205/45 ZR17 88W or 205/45 ZR17 (88Y). However, the dealership also mentioned a choice of 205/45 R17 88V G1. Speed index of V should be sufficient for the car (240km/h rated tyre should be fine for the car's 214km/h top speed). But what does G1 mean? The G1 model is has a C fuel efficiency label while the others all have E. Should the G1 behave the same as the Y DT1, Y or W tyre?

Interestingly, G1 indicates that the outside diameter or tread width differ from a tyre without this marking. We recommend to fit matching G1s on the same axle, or a set of 4 for all wheel drive. In this case, I'd go with a normal, non g1 fitment.
May 30, 2020

Do you think that jelly sensation that a lat o people talk about when the tyre are pushed very hard, is it solved by choosing the ZP (run flat) model (that should have the side wall reinforced)?

In theory the runflat version of the tyre will not have that steering delay, but there are many negatives associated with runflats that are equally as undesirable.

I'm looking to replace all 4 Pilot Super sports on my 2015 M135i. I have the option to go for the PS4 or the PSS. What's the main difference between the two? Will I notice the difference in wet/cold grip in regular daily driving? I'm happy to stick with the PSS but if the difference is minimal then I'll save myself £150 and go for the PS4's.

I would suggest watching this video comparing the PS4S to PSS. The PS4 will be similar to the PS4S, only with a little more comfort.
October 23, 2020

I want my car to have less hydroplane and very good grip in wet. Which one is better between PS4 and PS4S?

In theory, the PS4, but it will be very close. Check out or UHP Summer test which includes aquaplaning.

Alfa Mito 135 (215/45/R17) looking to replace my P Zero Neros for some Pilot Sports, I do enjoy some spirited driving now and again hence choosing the Pirellis last time. but for a daily driver, would the Pilot Spots be the better all-rounder over the year? looking to improve on the tyre noise and economy whilst maintaining high levels of grip in all-weathers.

Certain people report the Pilot Sport 4 getting a little noisy as it wears so maybe the goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 5 would be a better option.
April 5, 2022

Please advise on best tyre for wet track days Currently I use ps cup 2 for dry & PS4 for wet track days but is there a better option?

The PS4 is a great option, as it the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5!

What is the approximate mileage one can expect to get from a pair of Pilot Sport 4 tyres on the front wheels of an Audi A6 Quartro ?

Driving style can have a huge affect, somewhere between 15 and 25,000 would seem about right though. The PS5 improved wear over the PS4.
March 22, 2023

Can I mix michelin ps4 with other tyres?

You should always keep the tyres the same across the axle. Mixing front and rear is not advised but if you mix them with a tyre with similar performance it should be ok until you can match the other axle.

My current Bmw 120 d m sport has 18 inch tyres on front and back with load rating 88Y run flat I have seen front replacement tyres with same width radius speed rating but the load is 92Y XL run flat The tyres are pilot sport 4 225/40/92Y XL run flats my reg LG63XBJ . Also is it ok to run 92Y on front axle and continue with 88Y on rear axle Thankyou

I would not recommend mixing runflat and non-runflat tyres, but running a 92 front would be no issue.

Given 72% while driving a BMW 330d (255/40 R17) on mostly motorways for 13,200 average miles
Due to the odd/rare size of the rear tyres fitted to my car (a 2010 330d), their was only a choice of 2 decent tyres, these and the even older Goodyear Asymmetric 2s.
Compared to the A2's I had before the PS4 is a revelation in the wet, the grip in the wet was absolutely staggering (above 7C, below which any summer tyre will increasingly struggle), it felt like it almost matched the A2s grip in the dry! Truly amazing grip in the wet!
Grip in the dry seemed good too, although I never pushed them cornering.

A big downside though was the rate they wore at, I nearly got caught out hitting the legal wear limit (1.6mm), I usually change tyres at 2.5mm.
Although this was partly due to my mileage shooting up that year (due to a job change), it was also down to how quickly the tyres were wearing, from new to ~1.6mm (for the NSR, OSR was ~2.7mm) in about 13.2 k miles. Whereas the last set of GY A2s lasted ~18.6k (rears again).

Their is the mitigating circumstance that I found the rear tracking was out shortly after replacing them, by how much I don't know because the garage's printer wasn't working and they didn't bother to take a photo of it either! That said, it was tracking straight and the outer and inner edges and groves had worn similarly, although the rear was tramlining somewhat (which reduced quite a bit after having it tracked).
Also it seems that the factory pressures are too high for the rears making them wear more in the middle, see their final tread depths below (for each main groove) and make your own mind up. But certainly the A2s pumped up to the same pressures and likely the rear tracking had been a bit out for years as the rear tramlining issue (mainly on the concrete bit of the south part of the M25!) had also been around for years!
NSR 3.2, 2.4, 1.6, 2.7
OSR 3.5, 2.7, 2.7, 3.5

Since then I've fitted Goodyear Asymmetric 6s (I had to downsize slightly to 245/40 17 to get them), and actually their not faring much better :(, they've covered 12.6k miles and are down to 3mm in the ctr grooves already (I can't recall what the outer's were, but theirs a smaller difference than the PS4s, which is at least partly down to the slightly lower pressure I use now, 2.5 Bar vs 2.7, not to mention the tracking being done at the beginning of their life).

Given 83% while driving a BMW 330i (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 25,000 spirited miles
Replaced my PS4 a few months ago. Had them for 6 years but only around 40k km (25k miles). My car is lowered so the tyres wear on the inside, especially the rears. The tyres still had more than 40% of tread remaining on the outside and middle part, but completely worn on the inside. With stock height, I believe I could've got a lot more mileage out of them. One thing I notice about michelin tyres, be it the PS4, PS4S, PSS, PS3 or primacy 3 and 4, they all show crack on the edges after 6 years, and it spread quickly to the point they start losing air. Bear in mind I live in a tropical climate. It's hot and humid, so it's pretty harsh on rubber.

Dry handling and grip is never an issue with the PS4. Traction control rarely kicked in. I previously had toyo t1 sport, and traction control kicked in a lot more frequently. Handling is balanced enough, but of course don't compare it to the PS4S which is in a different league.

Wet grip is pretty good for a summer tyre. Never had any issue with aquaplaning. Not that I tried driving into a puddle. It can get a little jittery in the corner if you go too fast, but overall pretty good.

Overall great tyres. I would easily recommend it to anyone.

Given 84% while driving a Ford Ecosport (245/45 R18) on mostly motorways for 37,282 average miles
The tire provides confidence both in driving and cornering. I’ve used it for 60,000 km so far; it’s still usable, but since it needs to be replaced, I’m looking for a new one. For the first 30-40 thousand km, the tire was quite soft. Since there was no rim protection, I’ve scraped the rims a few times, damaging and tearing the sidewalls of the tire. However, the protection on the sidewalls has allowed for a long-lasting performance. I’ve used it at high speeds and taken sharp turns as well. My car is a 2020 Ford Ecosport 1.0 Ecoboost.

Upgrade from the stock Bridgestones which came with the Skoda Octavia RS Wagon. Comfort, Noise, Wet & Dry traction were all superb, as was wear over 30,000km. Never lost traction accelerating hard from lower speeds, unlike the Bridgestones. Excellent tyre and well worth the Premium.

I liked the tyres however steering feedback was vague and in combination with my car the vehicle felt too much understeered.
Grip was good, however when the tyres wears around 3mm, then wet grip gets unpredictable (scary loosing grip). When going over highway overpasses or other road indulations at 100 km/h you feel the front moving sideways (aquaplaning). During wet corners I don't have this problem.
Vehicle is a 2010 116i m-sport with KW V2 comfort suspension.

Given 53% while driving a Mercedes Benz CLS 220 (275/35 R18) on a combination of roads for 4,000 average miles
This is kind of an update after 6k kilometres and 2 years: I've bought it 2023.07, DOT is 2023.05. I store my car in a garage, and the wear is negligible. My main reason to switch to this PS4 was to improve the wet handling. With the 4years old P Zeros, the car was undriveable in wet conditions. Sliding, drifting all the time, instead of a safe cornering or accelerating. The PS4 was a dream. Glued the the asphalt. Nothing, just grip like its dry. Even when I' did a full throttle in the middle of a 90degree corner to test... Superb. But yesterday we had a rainy day, and it was the first time this year I drove my car in these conditons...and gosh i was devastated. I was sliding around in the town. Cannot do swift accelerate, cannot do a swift lane change. Car is drifting, sliding, spinning, the electronics are constantly working to keep the car on the road. And I'm not a road warrior, its not that... however when it was new, even the crazy stunts were easy(I was trying to find the limits) without even the safety electronics turning on, it was just pure grip. So all in all I'm devastated that a PS4, stored in a garage, no UV, no freeze, 6-6.5mm tread, cared very well... and its ready to be thrown out after 1.5seasons. (I use a 4 season for winter tire between nov and march, so it is almost like that im just storing the PS4 :D ) I'm really really devastated that my PS4 is dangearous in wet after 1.5-2years. This is unacceptable. Even a chinese cheap something lasts longer. (I'll skip the very price Michelins, since the PS4S on my other car cracked after about 6 years...i dont expect perfect grip after 6 years, but those huge, deep cracks...i could even see the steel inner of the tire...pathetic :( Hankook and GY is still king in this aspect. Pirelli and Michelin are only good for 1 year and testing/reviewing)

This is highly unusual for the PS4. Michelin will probably want to know about this, so either contact Michelin directly or go through your supplying garage. There's a chance you might get a partial credit if there's a manufacturing defect.
Given 86% while driving a Volkswagen Virtus GT 1.5 110Kw DSG (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 30,000 average miles
Hi there,

Have been using it in the rough Indian roads for the past 6 months. Fitted on 16th July 2024 with a ODO reading of 54,673 Kms (34,000 Miles approx.) and today clocked 87,002 Kms (54,060 Miles approx.) About 85% of the tyre life is over and nearing the wear indicator.

Have been doing regular trips throughout South India as the car is being used for Marketing purpose. Have been driving in all kind of terrains and since this is a proper Road tyre, the performance offered in cornering are soo good. Especially in Indian roads we've to have a very good braking response from tyre as we've surprises from animals, two wheelers and pedestrians crossing in the Highway.

Have got in a pothole once and got a side bulge recently.

Punctures over 10 times.

Still running strong....

I've run these on the front of my car for some time now and they've finally worn out. Although I didn't rate the tyre that much on the back of my car, it seemed much more suited to the front of a rear wheel drive car where it wasn't having to put the power down. Safe comfortable front end and lasted for a decent number of miles too.

Came fitted as standard on my 2020 Proceed GT. Generally a very good tire I can't overly complain about. The only issue I've been having was traction when starting from a stop (204hp fwd dct), but that was probably only partially the tires' fault.

Excellent levels of grip in the dry combined with amazing handling made the car unstoppable at cornering. Road feedback was very good and responsive. Wet grip was good, but traction in the wet was again suboptimal - cold tire wet handling was also slightly suboptimal. Once it got going and everything warmed up the tires were resistant to aquaplanning and gripped well.

The comfort was pretty good for a sporty tire. Wear wise I'd consider it normal. Overall a very good and safe tire for sporty driving, but there are now newer versions available.

Wet and dry weather grip is excellent however the grip level has an effect on longevity of the tyre but in reality the tyres do have a good lifespan with a progressive driving style. Side walls are quite hard and as such the ride can be stiff, the road noise may possibly be considered high but overall I think these tyres have worked excellent over their lifespan and I would have no hesitation in recommending them and I have refitted the same type and design again. Great tyre.

Given 76% while driving a Volkswagen 2016 Touran 1.4 TSI (150 Hp) DSG ACT (225/45 R18) on mostly country roads for 25,000 spirited miles
Very good tyre with plenty of grip for everyday use, both in wet and dry conditions. Allows for spirited driving with while retaining very good comfort. Grip isn't great in colder temperatures, especially when wet or frosty. Currently at 40.000 km on the set with 3mm tread left with no issues or unexpected performance degradation. Primarily used for motorway travel and commuting on country roads. Rather expensive tyre, with other great options at a cheaper price point.

Given 76% while driving a Peugeot RCZ GT 156THP (235/45 R19) on a combination of roads for 25,090 average miles
These handled well even in icy cold weather. They wear quickly and the fronts last approx 8000 miles but had uneven wear due camber set up being wrong, so assume would have got another 5,000
The backs lasted 25000 miles

Given 100% while driving a Mercedes Benz CLA 250e (225/40 R18) on for 1,000 miles
In my opinion, it is the best summer tire with the best road holding.

I can enter the corners without slowing down. I am very pleased.
