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.

...Very grippy in dry weather...
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.

Very impressed with these tires. I enjoy being aggressive in the curves and have never felt even remotely worried they would break loose. Only complaint is they're a bit noisy compared to my other vehicle's tires but not really a big deal for me.

...They are pretty quiet and comfortable in all occasions...
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).

...these sound and ride like a standard pilot super sport even with it being an RFT on Atlanta's terrible roads...
This is the best set of run flat tires I’ve had so far. Previously I’ve had the Dunlop sport max GT and the Bridgestone Potenza Re50 and these sound and ride like a standard pilot super sport even with it being an RFT on Atlanta’s terrible roads. No spare no problem.

I like these tires more than the driveguard tires that were on it. Much Quieter/Smoother. I am worried about the treadlife on this tire but will review that later.

...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...
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.

...They also last long, at least for me with about 90% interstate driving. Previous set lasted 36K miles and would have gone another 3-4K if it were not for a puncture near sidewall for one of them...
This is my second set. These tires are just the best and I tried a number of brands over the years - nothing compares in terms of grip and handling. In Florida we get tropical rains and I feel very secure with these at any speed. They also last long, at least for me with about 90% interstate driving. Previous set lasted 36K miles and would have gone another 3-4K if it were not for a puncture near sidewall for one of them. A bit noisier than some touring tires but the grip and safety worth it.
