Good tyre . Have always used Michelin on my car while they are reliable, I find that have to change them frequently though driving the car less.
Best Tyres So Far By a long way I have now had these tyres on my car for 75,000km and still have a little tread left to go. They are a replacement for Dunlop SP Sport Tyres that I thought were good to get two sets go for 71,000km.

They are a replacement for Dunlop SP Sport Tyres that I thought were good to get two sets go for 71,000km. But these PS4 Michelins are much quieter and handle corners better and stop much better and have gone long even it it's only 4,000km at this point.
Would highly recommend this tyre to anyone that doesn't want to burn them out and just drive on them like I do on a daily basis.Read more
Excellent Tyres
Superb braking and cornering performance. A little noisy at freeway speeds (100 km/hr) but no real consequence in light of performance. Will buy again!
Great tyre for the price
Got these tyres about 2 months ago as a replacement for Toyo C100 Proxies. They cost a bit more but are a much better tyre all around.
Definitly recommend Pilot Sport 4s over the Proxies and also the original Dunlop sports

I have 235/40/18 tyres on my RS225 and so far they’ve been very good. Probably not quite as grippy as the Bridgestone before them but u can’t get them anymore. Great allround tyre does everything well and we’re well priced.
Pilot Sport - great tyres
Read a review in choice magazine about these tyres so decided to try them. Noticed a big difference over the previous Goodyear tyres. The Michelin's felt noticeably safer.
Would definitely recommend them.

Michelin PS4
The Pilot Sport 4s have been brilliant.
You can throw the car into a corner wet, or dry and it will just track..no noise, no protestation.
It also has worn well, still probably another 10,000 km left in them after 30,000.
Michelin pilot 4
They give me confidence in all driving conditions, particularly in wet weather. Not the cheapest 18 inch tyre but well worth the premium. I will definitely stick with Michelin from now on.

Grip in wet and dry is better than anything I ve had on this car so far - beats Toyo CS1 s, Bridgestone RE003 s and Firestone TZ700 s by a significant margin. Wet grip on acceleration, cornering and braking in particular is outstanding. Don t point as well as the Bridgestones did but still pretty good, and the grip more than makes up for it.
Not super quiet, but not noisy either.Read more
High grip, comfortable. But low cornering stiffness makes it a bad match to my cars steering setup. I have revised my review since I spent more time with the new tyres.

Bought four PS4 in 235/40/R18 to replace the original equipment Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2.
Significantly better grip and comfort compared to Asymmetric 2s. The grip levels are incredible for a road tyre. Torque steer almost completely gone, even peak torque in first gear can hardly spin them on a good piece of road in dry.
But the downside is the low cornering stiffness. To achieve the same cornering rate I have to turn the steering wheel more compared to the original AS2s. Combine that with a variable ratio rack tuned for the OE tyres, it make the car feel a lot less agile as I have to make bigger steering inputs. There s also more body roll under hard cornering, which is one thing I don t like about the car made worse by the new tyres. Sometimes there are also unwanted sideways oscillations when cornering load is changed rapidly during entry/exit of sharp turns.
This is when I m running 41 psi in the front, a +6 psi over placard spec.
The PS4 also has no rim protection, something really nice to have when you go around town, shopping centre parking lots and frequently drive next to high curbs.Read more

The car feels like it s riding on clouds, there s zero road noise, and it grips so well it feels like my car had added extra horsepower! The car pulls and leaves you pushed into your seat in its wake. The ride is so subtle - only made worse when I filled up with 50L fuel... so the ride can only improve as the fuel burns. The quietness is scary... I can hear the engine, the wind, and nothing else. It s like driving the car in a vacuum. Tyre noise only came about when I got onto a really rough surface, but still minor. The tyres look great especially on 18 rims as it makes the rims look bigger compared to stock 235/45R18. They should have used the velvet effect more as it looks and feels incredible (not that feeling tyres is a thing, unless it s your thing). I know there s a limited edition Pilot Sport 4 S which uses heaps of the velvet, but that S doesn t come in 18 s in Australia (not yet anyway), and will probably be twice the price.
Riding on these tyres made me realise the tyres should not impede the design of the car, especially the power of the engine. It s really obvious now my previous tyres did. These tyres made the car alive again, and it feels brand new.
I ll be getting this tyre every time from now on. Best I ve ever bought.Read more

The grip is far greater and unlike the previous reviews, I find the PS4s very responsive with more precise turn in. This could be because I have fitted the tyres to the maximum width rim for a 215/45 tyre. They have much less road roar than the oem tyres. The negatives are there are tyres with a wider actual tread in 215/45 and combined with no rim protectors my wheel rims are very exposed to curbs and deep potholes.Read more

The ride was the most luxurious and soft ride that I have ever experienced. The grip was impressive, but unfortunately the handling of the car became quite soft. The steering response felt slow and vague in a way that it never did with my previous high performance tyres. If I made abrupt steering inputs the car felt too unstable, disconnected from the road, and had some oscillation in yaw. PS4 tires in 235/45/17 were fitted on 8" wide wheels, which is well within the recommended range. Different tyres have since been fitted that offer improved handling. Thanks to Spinning Wheel Tyres (Waterloo NSW) that were very helpful in resolving the issues to my complete satisfaction.Read more

Paid $188 each at my local Bob Jane and they have been great. Very low road noise and very good grip in both the wet and dry. No noise from the tyres when driving up to 120km/h. The tyres don't have the extra rim guard so need to be more careful with gutters (lost one star here, otherwise a 5 star tyre). Will definitely replace the other two tyres with the Pilot Sport 4 when the time comes. Michelin regularly have a $100 cashback which adds to the great value. With tyres being the only thing holding your car to the roads, paying a bit extra for these premium tyres are well worth it.Read more

I ditched the old tyres and wheels because they simply lacked grip. Oversteering gets a bit tiring after a while and the police don't like it either so I decided to try the newly released Pilot Sport 4. They were on special at Jax tyres.The level of grip is amazing compared to the Yokohamas. They are also fairly quiet at highway speeds. Ive only done about 4000 kms so far so its hard to tell what the wear rate is like but I guess like most Michelins they will last a longish time.I would highly recommend these tyres.Read more

Prior to buying tyres, I've always done research and looked for the best value for money. There must have been a promo on as the price difference per tyre was a mere $19. Over the life of the tyres, almost nothing. Can't comment on mileage.Read more

Took them on a road trip of 2,500km and was highly impressed. Much lighter steering than what came off the car (235/45/17 on an AUIII XR8), but very precise. Probably not the quietest tyres I have had, but not noisy.The recent wet in Sydney was the perfect time to test them out. Was very heavy rain, and I jumped on the throttle quite a few times, and could not get any spin. The car has a limited slip diff so any tyre that can hold up under heavy load in the wet is highly impressive. Also gave it some into turns, and it gripped as it would in the dry.They are rated AA for traction, which is the highest for wet roads. The tread is very deep, so I would expect at least 45,000km or more with proper rotation.Read more

I've had these for a month or so now and finally got a chance to try them out on wet roads, and I'm very impressed at how well they grip. With previous tyres (PE2 then PS3s) the traction control light was coming on frequently when accelerating, especially when cornering at the same time (no real surprise there), but with the PS4s it just grips and goes. The PS3s were only about 18 months old and not very worn, but I had read some very positive reviews about the PS4s so I wanted to try them out.Obviously I can't comment about likely life, but I always end up replacing tyres because they are old and losing grip rather than worn down, so durability isn't of much concern to me.Read more

They are a replacement for Dunlop SP Sport Tyres that I thought were good to get two sets go for 71,000km. But these PS4 Michelins are much quieter and handle corners better and stop much better and have gone long even it it's only 4,000km at this point.
Would highly recommend this tyre to anyone that doesn't want to burn them out and just drive on them like I do on a daily basis.Read more

Superb braking and cornering performance. A little noisy at freeway speeds (100 km/hr) but no real consequence in light of performance. Will buy again!

Michelin PS4
The Pilot Sport 4s have been brilliant.
You can throw the car into a corner wet, or dry and it will just track..no noise, no protestation.
It also has worn well, still probably another 10,000 km left in them after 30,000.
Michelin pilot 4
They give me confidence in all driving conditions, particularly in wet weather. Not the cheapest 18 inch tyre but well worth the premium. I will definitely stick with Michelin from now on.
Very Good tyres Purchased 4x Michelin Pilot Sport tyres from costco for my 05 Honda Accord Euro

Definitely an massive difference and upgrade from Pilot Sport 3, in terms of handling and ride comfort.
Road noise when compared to PS3 is lower but still not as good as Primacy s .
Milage is little bit better 8.9/100 k from 9.5/100 k no change in circumstance from PS 3 and PS 4
Highly recommended if you like more grip/performance from your tyresRead more

Grip in wet and dry is better than anything I ve had on this car so far - beats Toyo CS1 s, Bridgestone RE003 s and Firestone TZ700 s by a significant margin. Wet grip on acceleration, cornering and braking in particular is outstanding. Don t point as well as the Bridgestones did but still pretty good, and the grip more than makes up for it.
Not super quiet, but not noisy either.Read more
High grip, comfortable. But low cornering stiffness makes it a bad match to my cars steering setup. I have revised my review since I spent more time with the new tyres.

Bought four PS4 in 235/40/R18 to replace the original equipment Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2.
Significantly better grip and comfort compared to Asymmetric 2s. The grip levels are incredible for a road tyre. Torque steer almost completely gone, even peak torque in first gear can hardly spin them on a good piece of road in dry.
But the downside is the low cornering stiffness. To achieve the same cornering rate I have to turn the steering wheel more compared to the original AS2s. Combine that with a variable ratio rack tuned for the OE tyres, it make the car feel a lot less agile as I have to make bigger steering inputs. There s also more body roll under hard cornering, which is one thing I don t like about the car made worse by the new tyres. Sometimes there are also unwanted sideways oscillations when cornering load is changed rapidly during entry/exit of sharp turns.
This is when I m running 41 psi in the front, a +6 psi over placard spec.
The PS4 also has no rim protection, something really nice to have when you go around town, shopping centre parking lots and frequently drive next to high curbs.Read more

The car feels like it s riding on clouds, there s zero road noise, and it grips so well it feels like my car had added extra horsepower! The car pulls and leaves you pushed into your seat in its wake. The ride is so subtle - only made worse when I filled up with 50L fuel... so the ride can only improve as the fuel burns. The quietness is scary... I can hear the engine, the wind, and nothing else. It s like driving the car in a vacuum. Tyre noise only came about when I got onto a really rough surface, but still minor. The tyres look great especially on 18 rims as it makes the rims look bigger compared to stock 235/45R18. They should have used the velvet effect more as it looks and feels incredible (not that feeling tyres is a thing, unless it s your thing). I know there s a limited edition Pilot Sport 4 S which uses heaps of the velvet, but that S doesn t come in 18 s in Australia (not yet anyway), and will probably be twice the price.
Riding on these tyres made me realise the tyres should not impede the design of the car, especially the power of the engine. It s really obvious now my previous tyres did. These tyres made the car alive again, and it feels brand new.
I ll be getting this tyre every time from now on. Best I ve ever bought.Read more

The grip is far greater and unlike the previous reviews, I find the PS4s very responsive with more precise turn in. This could be because I have fitted the tyres to the maximum width rim for a 215/45 tyre. They have much less road roar than the oem tyres. The negatives are there are tyres with a wider actual tread in 215/45 and combined with no rim protectors my wheel rims are very exposed to curbs and deep potholes.Read more

The ride was the most luxurious and soft ride that I have ever experienced. The grip was impressive, but unfortunately the handling of the car became quite soft. The steering response felt slow and vague in a way that it never did with my previous high performance tyres. If I made abrupt steering inputs the car felt too unstable, disconnected from the road, and had some oscillation in yaw. PS4 tires in 235/45/17 were fitted on 8" wide wheels, which is well within the recommended range. Different tyres have since been fitted that offer improved handling. Thanks to Spinning Wheel Tyres (Waterloo NSW) that were very helpful in resolving the issues to my complete satisfaction.Read more

I can really tell the difference when taking a sharp corner and braking in the wet. I’ve only had them for 6 months so I can’t comment on longevity, but they don’t seem to be wearing out prematurely.

Paid $188 each at my local Bob Jane and they have been great. Very low road noise and very good grip in both the wet and dry. No noise from the tyres when driving up to 120km/h. The tyres don't have the extra rim guard so need to be more careful with gutters (lost one star here, otherwise a 5 star tyre). Will definitely replace the other two tyres with the Pilot Sport 4 when the time comes. Michelin regularly have a $100 cashback which adds to the great value. With tyres being the only thing holding your car to the roads, paying a bit extra for these premium tyres are well worth it.Read more

I ditched the old tyres and wheels because they simply lacked grip. Oversteering gets a bit tiring after a while and the police don't like it either so I decided to try the newly released Pilot Sport 4. They were on special at Jax tyres.The level of grip is amazing compared to the Yokohamas. They are also fairly quiet at highway speeds. Ive only done about 4000 kms so far so its hard to tell what the wear rate is like but I guess like most Michelins they will last a longish time.I would highly recommend these tyres.Read more

Not only for the dry braking but also for wet braking, these tyres can provide the shortest braking distance, which can be life saving in some levels.

A good tyre but compared to the Michelins... well there is no comparison. It's almost as if I have to re-adjust my driving style they are so responsive. It's like the car is on rails. Great in wet and dry conditions. A little noisy compared to the Kumhos but the many pluses far outweigh the minus. Prior to buying tyres, I've always done research and looked for the best value for money. There must have been a promo on as the price difference per tyre was a mere $19. Over the life of the tyres, almost nothing. Can't comment on mileage.Read more

Took them on a road trip of 2,500km and was highly impressed. Much lighter steering than what came off the car (235/45/17 on an AUIII XR8), but very precise. Probably not the quietest tyres I have had, but not noisy.The recent wet in Sydney was the perfect time to test them out. Was very heavy rain, and I jumped on the throttle quite a few times, and could not get any spin. The car has a limited slip diff so any tyre that can hold up under heavy load in the wet is highly impressive. Also gave it some into turns, and it gripped as it would in the dry.They are rated AA for traction, which is the highest for wet roads. The tread is very deep, so I would expect at least 45,000km or more with proper rotation.Read more

I've had these for a month or so now and finally got a chance to try them out on wet roads, and I'm very impressed at how well they grip. With previous tyres (PE2 then PS3s) the traction control light was coming on frequently when accelerating, especially when cornering at the same time (no real surprise there), but with the PS4s it just grips and goes. The PS3s were only about 18 months old and not very worn, but I had read some very positive reviews about the PS4s so I wanted to try them out.Obviously I can't comment about likely life, but I always end up replacing tyres because they are old and losing grip rather than worn down, so durability isn't of much concern to me.Read more
Best tires ever
I am a professional driver and I do a lot of miles, I have used many high end brands however I ve never been so impressed as I am with these incredible tires especially in the wet, I have tried SO hard to lose traction but just won t lose grip at all
