Max Performance Summer run-flat tires provide temporary self-supporting run-flat mobility for a distance of 50 miles at up to 50 mph, even after a puncture has allowed complete air pressure loss. They are designed for serious driving enthusiasts who want a combination of a performance appearance, competent handling and Z-speed rated (or higher) durability with enhanced dry and wet traction. Often used as Original Equipment (O.E.) on powerful sports cars, performance coupes and high performance sedans, Max Performance Summer run-flat tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
O.E. Max Performance Summer run-flat tires are typically purchased as direct replacements for worn-out pairs/sets of the vehicle’s original tires. They can also be used for other vehicle applications in complete sets of four or axle pairs if available in an appropriate size, load range and speed rating to match the existing O.E. run-flat tires’ performance category and specifications.
NOTE: Run-flat tires are only recommended for vehicles that are originally equipped with self-supporting run-flat tires and equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system.

...My favorite all around is the MPS4ZP for wet/dry traction, steering response, high speed stability, noise, wear, and run flat safety...
Previous Michelin tires used on various BMWs: MPSC2 for track; MPSPS2, MPSS/MPSSZP, MPS4S/MPS4ZP for daily. My favorite all around is the MPS4ZP for wet/dry traction, steering response, high speed stability, noise, wear, and run flat safety. After 35,00 miles of spirited driving, I'm ready to order the same set again.

...If you care about how they handle water. Very Very Little slip...
The Best Tires I have ever used! - I have owned a bunch of tires and these are the very best! If you care about handling the are fantastic. If you care about road noise. Amazing! If you care about how they handle water. Very Very Little slip. My Wife doesn't know much about tires and she even mentioned that the car drives better. They are expensive, but in my opinion they are worth it!

These are the rea deal. Living in Florida I deal with lots of hard rain. These tires offer utmost confidence wet or dry. They corner very well, and handle transitions without fanfare. The biggest plus has been the tread wear. I fully expected to not get more than 25k with how hard I run in the corners, but I will get comfortably more than that. I will re-order the same ones. You cannot go wrong with these tires.

Limited RFT selections for this model. It is very responsive, great in dry and wet conditions. I am only able to get about 15-18000 miles before needed to be replaced.

...Very grippy in dry weather and very smooth on the highway, which is why I opted to buy again...
Bought to replace set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S ZP at around 25k miles and three years. Adequate tread life for driving style. Quiet for run-flats. Very grippy in dry weather and very smooth on the highway, which is why I opted to buy again. Would highly recommend.

Performance is great in both wet and dry. They are a little stiff, but that helps with the steering feel. They create a bit of road noise (low howl/drone), but it is not very noticeable. All-in-all a great tire for spirited driving on winding rural highways in hill country (when it's not too cold or icy).

...They are pretty quiet and comfortable in all occasions. I tend to increase pressure when I plan to go for a ride in the mountains, and keep them at the lower recommended pressure during every day use...
These tires are very good in all areas of my interest. They are pretty quiet and comfortable in all occasions. I tend to increase pressure when I plan to go for a ride in the mountains, and keep them at the lower recommended pressure during every day use. At higher pressure, the tires are more accurate and feel much more precise around tight curves. Given the weight and power of this car, I have been happy with tire wear. Although, I do not expect them to have much thread left after 15k miles (which would be good under this car).

On a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia, switched from the Michelin PS4S(got 31k out of them, and loved every mile!) to these. Nearly identical ride dynamics and traction with a slightly higher treadwear. These tires are just as quiet and wet weather handling is just as amazing. A great Michelin tire that doesn't require carrying around an inflator.

I’m not usually the type to buy run flats, but these are awesome. They are quiet, have nice grip in wet and dry conditions, handle quite well, and excellent tread wear. I’ll definitely buy again when I’m ready for another set!

...Probably a little early to say for sure, but it seems like tread wear's improved over the PS2's I had on my old car...
Extremely happy I switched to these from the P7's that came on the car when I bought it used. A huge improvement in feel, noise and handling. While not elevating the driving experience to the level of my '09 335 w/sports package, this car is now a lot closer than it was. Probably a little early to say for sure, but it seems like tread wear's improved over the PS2's I had on my old car. Well worth the price, in my opinion.
