BMW M240i (245/45 R19) on a combination of roads for 4,000 spirited miles
I changed wheels to 19 inch genuine 361 rims with PS4S on my BMW M240i.
Totally different car, no tyre shiver under full acceleration,
huge levels of grip, great lateral strength in side walls allowing
great handling through the corners, comfortable ride & different car when overtaking at high speed.
I had a 135i with P Zero tyres on last car which were pretty good but these tyres are on another level should also be great on a 135.

Renault (235/35 R19 W) on mostly country roads for 700 spirited miles
I have already used them for 1000km on dry and wet (fast driving - b roads).
Compared to my previous rubber (potenza RE 050A), it is a totally different experience. In terms of outright grip, ps4s' are noticeably better in the dry and much much better in the wet. They are much better in terms of ride quality and comfort too..
BUT, bridgestones are definitely better when it comes to dynamic abilities, such as feedback , turn in, steering response and linearity to your inputs under pressure (above 8/10 ) even though comfort is suffering on bad surfaces.
Michelin hasn't solved the "soft sidewall issue" of pss even though ps4s has been improved just a little bit. On the other hand, due to the sidewall deformation (variable patch technology etc) they provide such tremendous grip almost everywhere. You can't have it all...
In conclusion: Ps4s for top grip and ride comfort - Bridgestones for max driver’s pleasure, especially if he loves “off balance” driving.

Given 89% while driving a Jaguar F Type coupe (305/30 R20) on mostly country roads for 4,000 spirited miles
Put these on the F-Type after removing the standard fit P-Zeros - the difference is night and day. Better grip in all conditions - trying to put the power down in a straight line in damp conditions was impossible with the Pirellis but these really dig in. It's a 550hp RWD car so of course you can light them up but it's genuinely impressive how the 4Ss handle the power. At the limit they are much more progressive than the Pirellis ever were - you feel them start to give way and can react - to have a scary moment in the wet with these tyres requires massive commitment / stupidity. Again with the P-zeros it just required you to want to accelerate before the car was arrow straight. Honestly I've not got close to the limit in the dry, but the feel is more communicative and they are quieter and more comfortable than the P-zeros they replaced. Just a massive upgrade in every department. Not sure about wear yet but they are sold with a much better wear rating off the shelf.

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!
Given 72% while driving a Jaguar XF S (255/35 R20) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
Definite improvement over the OEM Dunlops for grip, wet grip in particular. Haven't had the TC come on at all since getting this installed. I don't really push the car but you can tell that they do grip very well.

I don't feel that they suit the car. The road noise is no better (actually a bit worse over concrete sections of the motorway), comfort is improved a touch and MPG is a little worse. With a cruiser like the XFS noise, comfort and MPG would be better.

Wish I'd of gone for Goodyear Asym 3's, they'd be more comfortable, better economy and quieter while still retaining 95% of the grip (although not the handling from what I've read), however if I had an XFR (or XFR-S) the Michelin's would be the way to go. The V8 noise would help drown out the tyre noise, and would really benefit from the improved grip.

My XFS will be getting Goodyear's next time, my XK Dynamic R will be getting Michelin's (against the OEM Pirelli).

Given 97% while driving a Audi S3 (235/35 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
Well I did not know a tyre can change a car so much. These tyres are in a different league to the continental contact 5p that was fitted to the Audi S3 Saloon as standard. Tyres change the car completely so much quieter and the feed back is amazing. The car even looks amazing with these tyres fitted. Will defetnly fit these tyres all the time now. Please try these for you self as it's such a eye opener.

I replaced the G.Y. ASYM.2 with 4s. The tyre is just what i really wanted. The best untill today...! Perfect everywhere! I'll buy it again and again and again...! (Too expensive)...

Given 93% while driving a SEAT Leon 2.0 TFSI (225/40 R18 W) on mostly country roads for 3,000 easy going miles
Before I had the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti, with whom I found it very well, but I wanted to change on the advice of my tire men. The tires are very similar, and both are wonderful tires, both dry and wet, the only difference there is that the Michelin keeps the road little better but they have softer sides and are therefore not quick In steering gear change direction is not accurate.
I recommend Comunqie even if I prefer the ultrac vorti for my stile driving

Given 99% while driving a Lexus RCF (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,500 spirited miles
Installed the PS4S on my Lexus RCF. Visuals are noticeably nicer as it has the fluffy sidewalls like the cup 2 tyres. Dry grip has significantly improved with great feedback. Wet grip and feedback is also amazing. A very noticeable improvement over the Super Sport is the reduced tyre noise.
Highly recommended. Would definetly get these tyres again in the future.

Given 100% while driving a BMW Alpina B5 2006 (285/30 R20 W) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
Compared to my previous 19" rims and Continental SportContact 6 tires, these Michelin tires are more comfortable (despite lower tire profile) and more silent. Very satisfied with these tires.

Given 100% while driving a BMW M3 (275/35 R19 W) on mostly country roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Replaced conti 5p's with these and more than happy. Seem a better tyre all round especially in the wet. Not as important but like how the tyre wall lettering is black highlighted like the sport cup 2's. I'd say they feel almost like the cup 2's in the dry but with more grip in the wet.

BMW M3 (245/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 100 average miles
Just changed from Cup 2 to PS4S because of wet road performance.
Wet grip is sure better than the Cup 2, but big difference about the tyre responsiveness.
Comfort and noise Is better also on PS4S.
Will give a more detailed review later.

I got the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S to replace the PIrelli P Zero that came with the car and what a difference. Quieter, better steering and loads more grip. So happy with them!!
