Grand Touring Summer tires are for drivers who want a combination of sophisticated appearance, competent handling and H-speed rated (or higher) durability, along with dry and wet traction from their tires. Often used as Original Equipment (O.E.) on sophisticated coupes and luxurious performance sedans, Grand Touring Summer tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
O.E. Grand Touring Summer 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. tires' performance category and specifications.

Drivers consistently rate the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S as outstanding in dry traction, with scores often hitting 9-10 for sharp cornering and responsive handling.

...Wet traction has never missed a beat even till 4/32" tread...
One of the best tires I've ever put on my WRX! Corner grip and handling is predicable and precise. Wet traction has never missed a beat even till 4/32" tread. Dry traction is one of the best for daily driving and wanting to get into some fun! Comfort is pretty good for this category and noise is quite quiet for this type of tire. As the tire aged you do start to notice some tire noise but it's really faint. Michelin makes a really good product. I will consider this as the king of Max Perf. Summer tires.

Amazing performance especially when dry and above 60°, good enough traction at 40° however. Tread wears somewhat fast but it also depends on driving style.

...They are super quiet and give an abundance of traction in both wet and dry conditions. I can throw this car into corners and not work about losing traction...
I have these installed on a SQ5 with performance add ons. They are wrapped around a lightweight set of wheels. They are super quiet and give an abundance of traction in both wet and dry conditions. I can throw this car into corners and not work about losing traction. I just made a trip from Pennsylvania to Montreal and have zero complaints about the ride quality. They look great on the car and the sidewall design makes them easy to keep clean. Only complaint I have is that they do not come in a 335/30R18 so I could run them on my 1968 Firebird.

After driving with the 13 year old OEM Dunlop Sports, and only 500 miles so far on the Michelins, it might be somewhat early to review... however, at this time, I can report them as being extremely quite, with a comfortable ride and exceptional handling...
After driving with the 13 year old OEM Dunlop Sports, and only 500 miles so far on the Michelins, it might be somewhat early to review... however, at this time, I can report them as being extremely quite, with a comfortable ride and exceptional handling. I can report back after I get a few more miles on them. Yes, they were not cheap... but I went with the reviews, and driving a grand tourer Jaguar XK, I want the best tire money can buy.

These are the best tires I have installed on my car. They handle extremely well while been very civilized on the way they drive (in terms of noise and how smooth they drive for such a high-performance tire). I will replace these tires with the same when the time comes. Highly recommended.

...Tread wear so far is a little better than what I expected. At about 6k miles they are showing little overall wear despite handling 650hp/700ftlbs in a 4500lb SUV that is driven very spirited through corners often...
These tires have been great thus far. They have impeccable wet and dry traction, even in our torrential downpours we often get here in FL. Steering response in very positive and tight, and when they've been pushed to their limit they break away easily and predictably which is surprisingly hard to get them to do even in this big SUV. Warm-up time is quick and they're performing great long before the engine oil is up to temp and the vehicle is ready for fun. Tread wear so far is a little better than what I expected. At about 6k miles they are showing little overall wear despite handling 650hp/700ftlbs in a 4500lb SUV that is driven very spirited through corners often. They seem quiet on the highway, but it's hard to tell as my 958 has the extra NVH package so its basically silent inside no matter what. Sidewalls seem stiff and perky as you'd want from a tire like this, and ride quality is stiff and composed but not overly harsh compared to whatever trash tires were on this when I bought it.
Overall these are amazing tires for a spirited street driver like myself that might see occasional track time. The 20k mileage warranty on a performance tire this size is also an amazing and unusual bonus. I'll definitely be putting these back on when replacement time comes.

...They also last, most other brands I barely got 1-2 summers out of them, these things still look new after 10k miles on them, with a good amount of mixed Highway/City driving. I recommend rotating them every 3-5k miles, you'll get so much life out of these, and when you factor that in vs. buying new tires of other brands every couple of years that are priced cheaper, its a hands down better bang for you buck!
These things are bullet proof! Best tire I've ever purchased for my ST. They corner so well, little to no noise, amazing traction, these bad boys just grab and go, it sets you right back in your set. Only summer tire I will ever buy again. I've had all the big names before, Toyo, Pirelli, Yokos, they're good, but these, these are AMAZING! Hands down best in class, DO NOT PASS UP ON THESE! You will regret going to another brand.

I drive the car in sport+ only. These tires are very predictable even when the rear breaks loose on hard acceleration. Much more stable, comfortable and quiet than the OE tires. It has made the car more reliable in spirited driving situations. Which encourages spirited driving.
