Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Max Performance Summer Tire with Good Wet Grip for Sportscars in 265/45ZR19

These tires are absolutely spectacular. I had my car making around 410 hp and 430 tq, and it just hooks up. They could break away, but you need to work to make it happen. Get rolling, turn the wheel, and floor it, and the car just hooks and goes. Tight turn at 50 in 3rd, floor it, car just hooks. Went from spinning at 40 in the dry with Pirelli P Zero Nero's to hooking at 30 in heavy rain in these tires. Awesome lateral traction and braking as well. The tires feel like they are loading up as you approach the limit, and you can feel the limit as well. Smooth and predictable breakaway. I drove these tires hard, with a few WOT from under 40 each day, and the rears lasted 18k without rotating. Fronts have plenty of tread left. I drive 80 miles a day and maybe 75 of those are highway on weekdays and 10 on weekends, and these tires held up great. These tires were great on a daily driver performance car, but would also be great for a performance SUV or someone who wants the best daily driver tires on the market. There is not as much steering feel as you would get out of a Cup 2 or similar, but it is good enough for a car without much steering feel to begin with as I wouldn't notice it as much.

If you are going to drive your car only on the street, and you will drive it in the rain, these are the best tires for the job. They are definitely expensive, but if you can afford it, pull the trigger as these are as good as it gets. They are nearly as good as the 4s and the cup 2 on the road, but they would not hold up like the others on the track.

I only put 18,000 miles because I just got the rears to bald, but the fronts still have 6/32.

Excellent grip dry and in the wet.
Hard acceleration on quite wet roads at medium to high speed produces no apparent wheelspin and no activation of traction control.
Predictable traction in the wet.
The side wall is slightly soft which sacrifices some steering feel.

Spectacular tire. Probably the best daily driver summer tire for a performance car. When new, they would glide over the highway with very little sound. Absorbed plenty of minor bumps. The steering feel was less than optimal, but it was fine. You could feel enough through the car otherwise. When loading up in a corner, they had an amazing feel to them. Whereas my stock P Zero Nero's (AS) felt like you were slowly approaching the limit of traction, these tires felt like you were loading them up and they were getting more and more into it. You could really feel right where the limit of traction was on these tires, even if that limit is halfway to the moon. Unbelievable traction in the wet or dry. Went from spinning at 40 in the dry in my old tires to hooking at 30 in the pouring rain with these. Awesome hydroplaning resistance, but the rain grip was primarily going and stopping and the lateral grip was only great. After 20k the rear tires were down to 1/32, but the fronts were still at 7. When the rears were bald, they had nearly as much traction as new, but they were noticeably louder and tramlined on the highway sometimes. They had perfectly fine traction at 40 F, but had zero feel. When warm, you can predictably feel the limit of traction. In the cold, you had all you needed for mildly spirited driving but no more.

I highly recommend these tires for someone who drives their car every day on the highway and enjoys some spirited back roads as well.

Great tires, provides excellent traction in dry weather. Comfortable for daily driving. Will get another set once these are worn.

The tires came stock with the car. They have great driving dynamics, especially in dry weather. The driving characteristics take a sharp decline in colder temperatures (~10C). Overall, the tire wear is horrendous! I expect this much wear if it was on a heavy electric car/SUV.

These 235/45ZR17 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires made my V6 Accord handle like my Porsche Boxster . I replaced the factory 215/55 R 17 factory Michelin tires with these 235/45zr 17 PS4 and it totally changed the handling of my V6 Accord . I have owned 4 late model Porsche and was looking for a way to increase the handling of my Accord . The Accord handles well anyway for a front wheel drive car . I have owned this 2017 since new ( 3.5 years , 45,000 miles ) and it replaced our 2007 Mercedes E350 4 matic car. I ordered that Benz new and it had the 245/40R18 Michelins which made it handle well . I thought I would try the lower profile Pilot Sport 4 tires to move it closer to the handling of the Benz. It worked great . No downside to the switch . The PS4 tires are not discerningly noisier than the factory Michelin Primacy MXV4 that were on the Accord V6. By going to the slightly smaller diameter 235/45ZR17 for 817 revolutions per mile I helped my gearing over the stock 215/55R17 at 791 revs per mile . Just a little bit better hole shot 3.2% improvement and way better handling in the corners . I live in Central Oregon where there are no interstate highways . Only US Highway 20 , 26 , 97 which are 2 lane highways . The additional cornering in the mountain passes are a real bonus plus a little 3.2% boost in the passing zones when facing oncoming traffic. Thumbs Up to Michelin . These tires are great !

I am enjoying the ride and the comfort of these tires but I will be able to give a better review later after some wear on the tires..

Bought as a substitute to the factory fitted Continental SportContact 5 that was already a great tire, specially on wet conditions, those PS4 were a little bit better all round being the Continentals rate 9 and the Michelin rate 10. They are a sportive Tyre with great cornering stability, low road noise and a little better than average thread wear. The only slight diference worst than the Continentals is the wet traction from 10 (continentals) to 9 (Michelin), both really to of the line comparing to what's available on the market.

My fourth set of Michelin Pilot Sport tires, after running Pirelli P-Zero and Continental tires. Can't imagine going back. Much better road-holding performance, quieter, and as long or better treadlife than the rest. While they are a bit more expensive, all of the above reasons make them worth the extra to me.

I couldn't say if I would purchase these tires again just because I don't know how treadwear is going to be. Judging by everything else, -------- yea!!! I have never experienced something like this, this tires are sticking so good to the road it's funny. My car is finally fun to drive.
