Michelin  Pilot Sport 4 SUV

What a great tire for the SQ5--seems to be a perfect match for the additional weight and higher center of gravity of a performance SUV. These replaced the OE Latitude Sports, and even with new-tire tread depth, the Pilot Sport 4 SUV has so much better steering response and cornering stability--they seem to provide this great feel and grip effortlessly, reflecting engineering and construction matched to SUV requirements. Dry grip is super in both cornering and braking, and while we haven't driven them in heavy rain conditions yet, wet grip feels great as well. The tires track perfectly on the straights and run so smooth with a minimum of wheel weights (installed by our Audi dealer).

I was almost ready to buy Pilot Sport 4S's but had some concerns about the height & weight of the SQ5, so was really happy to see this tire introduced at just the right time. The Pilot Sport 4 SUV really seems perfect on this vehicle--just the tire for the twisty mountain roads here in WNC and North GA!

We have this tires on a Whipple Supercharged 5.0 Coyote Single Cab Shortbed street truck with full suspension. We have hit 1.60 60ft times on a draggy on the street with these tires and 10.89 1/4 mile. In fact drag radials were less than two tenths quicker. Excellent all around tire that hooks and does not have you nervous in the rain!

Trying to find a good tire for a crossover vehicle was a fun challenge. So, I went on the search at my favorite tire store, Tire Rack. Found some good candidates but the Michelin Pilot Sport for SUV's stuck out to me over the other tires. So far, I can say these are the best pair of Michelins I've ever owned. Florida driving is usually hot and dry, with the afternoon showers for a couple hours then back to hot, sunny and humid. These tires are exactly what is needed in this climate. They stick in the dry. They stick under heavy breaking, the stick in the corners, and most of all they do it just as good in the rain. I have no feedback for winter conditions.

These tires are a dramatic improvement over the OE Dunlops. The tires have made me enjoy my ML550 more than ever - as with the Dunlops, I just thought the ML was only a pleasant car with straight-line speed. These Michelins have increased wet and dry grip and the vehicle has an all-around better ride. There's also increased lateral grip from the previous tire. I'd definitely suggest buying them and I will buy them again.

These tires on my Macan S are SUPER. I run a set of pure winter tires and wheels. So, why just run all season tires the rest of the time when not needed. I run Pilot Sport tires on my GT3 so why not try them on the Macan S. Enjoyable difference in driving and they are very quiet. I’ll borrow from Steppenwolf here — it’s like you are on a magic carpet ride. Thanks to Jim at Tire Rack.

Very confident in this tire. Have not driven it at high speed through standing water, but never felt any inkling of hydroplaning or any loss of traction in a wet weather driving. RS Q8 is a heavy vehicle so that may have contributed to the confidence. In dry weather the tire is outstanding with great traction and cornering. Extremely quiet. Probably the best heavy SUV tire I have ever had. Have not driven it in extreme cold or snow.

Great comfort, quite tire and really impressed with the treadwear. Would buy again without researching new to market tires. Simply an awesome tire!

This tire is fantastic! Gripping strength, cornering, responsiveness, all exceptional! They are very quiet and give a pleasurable ride. In the rain if not a downpour the tire keeps it's traction ability very well. I am in the northwest, when it's a constant downpour the traction capability wain but it's a summer tire. Would buy these again in a heartbeat!

Great Tires and ride quality

Wow what a tire this is!!! These tires are super sticky! Can really feel the deference when I'm romping around town in my minivan, taking tight corners at speeds that shouldn't be possible. Was a little worried about wearing early but surprisingly they have very little treadwear! I rotate the tires every 5k to help keep the wear even. Great dry handling in the city or freeway, wet handling was way above what I expected. I got caught on the freeway when it stated raining buckets, like a flash flood type of rain, these tires didn't once loose grip or slip during the few minutes of that, very scary but these tires handled like a champ. I know these aren't off road rated but I did need to take it out into the country with long dirt roads with sharp rocks, was worried about tire chunks coming off, well I'm glad to report not even a darn scratch in treads or sidewalls. I did take these through mud too when it rained, but to be fair I had cables installed on the front. Overall this minivan handles amazing, full potential unlocked with these Pilot Sport 4 SUV's and I can't imagine going to a different tire when these are due for replacement.

This is the second set of Pilot Sport 4 SUV's and they work extremely well for our 2015 Audi SQ5. We live in the mountains of Western North Carolina and the majority of our driving is on the twisties of the secondary roads in WNC & N GA, and most of our driving is Spirited. Our SQ5 has been modified with H&R Sport Springs, Bilstein Sport shocks & struts, APR stage 1 (93 Octane) ECU tune and matching APR TCU upgrade, and the suspension mods work extremely well with these tires. Turn-in and grip are both excellent and the tires seem to be a perfect match for the SQ5's handling qualities, which have been greatly enhanced by the sport springs & shocks, (firm but not harsh and have lowered the ride height from stock by 2" front / 1 1/2" rear. We got 25K miles out of the first set of Pilot Sport 4 SUV's and this set appears to be headed for the same level of tire wear.
