• Dynamic Response Technology — A hybrid aramid and nylon belt that Michelin says sharpens steering response and holds cornering power.
• Multi-Compound Construction — Different rubber compounds across the tread - grip where the wet needs it, grip where the dry needs it.
• Premium Touch sidewall and rim protector — A velvet-effect outer sidewall finish and a deep rim protector that takes the hit instead of your wheel lip.
• Homologated by the people who build fast cars — Mercedes-AMG and Ferrari sign off on their own versions; Porsche, BMW and GM fitments exist too.

Michelin's internal testing ranks the Pilot Sport 4 S first in dry lap time, dry braking, wet lap time and wet braking against the Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position, Continental ExtremeContact Sport, Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, tested in 235/35ZR19 on a 2015 BMW 328i. Those are the manufacturer's own figures, not ours.

Yes, if you want the most capable tire you can daily drive: fast road, canyon runs, the occasional track day, and real rain performance. It is the default answer for a 911, an M-car, a Corvette or a GT-R that still gets driven to work.

Look elsewhere if you only care about lap times — a DOT competition tire will be faster and we sell those too. Or if you see snow, in which case you want a winter set alongside these.

The complete Pilot Sport 4 S range from the MICHELIN 2022 Passenger Car & Light Truck Data Book, pp. 6-11. OE codes mark sizes built to a carmaker's spec. Not every size is on the shelf — if yours is not in the dropdown above, message us with it and we will quote it.

How long will they last?
UTQG treadwear is 300 and Michelin backs them with a 30,000 mile limited warranty, which is a long life for a max-performance summer tire. Michelin's own testing puts treadlife about 9% ahead of the Pilot Super Sport it replaced.

Can I track them?
Yes, and plenty of people do - it is the usual answer for someone who wants one set for the commute and the odd track day. If you are chasing lap times and nothing else, a DOT competition tire like the Toyo R888R will be quicker; it will also be loud, short-lived and poor in the wet. The 4 S is the compromise that still works on Monday.

Are they any good in the rain?
This is where a max-performance summer tire separates itself from an R-compound. Michelin's internal wet-circuit and wet-braking tests rank the 4 S first against the Potenza S-04, ExtremeContact Sport, P Zero PZ4 and Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. It is still a summer tire, so it is not a wet-weather specialist, but it is genuinely capable.

What about cold and snow?
No. Do not run them below about 40°F and never on snow or ice. Summer compounds go hard when cold and the casing can be damaged. If you see winter, you want a second set.

What do the letters after the size mean?
Those are carmaker homologation codes on the sizes built to a specific manufacturer's spec: MO1 is Mercedes-AMG, N0/NA0/ND0 is Porsche, K1/K2 is Ferrari, * is BMW, TPC is GM and ZP is the run-flat. If your car came with one of these markings it is worth matching it. If it did not, the unmarked retail version is the one you want.

My size is not in the dropdown.
Michelin lists 198 sizes for this tire and we do not carry every one on the shelf. The full table above is the complete lineup with Michelin's own part numbers - message us with the size and we will quote it.

Sold each or as a set?
Priced and sold per tire. Add four for a full set, or two if you are only doing one axle.

Can you fit them?
Yes. We are Phoenix-based and do local delivery and mobile install across the valley, and we ship nationwide.
