Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S vs Michelin Pilot Super Sport

We tried to make a 5 minute video to explain the differences between the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S, and it's older brother the Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Sadly we failed, and this video is 9 minutes. If you're not a tyre geek, but are curious about the differences between the two tyres, feel free to skip to the conclusion at 6:10 as that covers most of it.

Sick video dude! Very informative with lots of stats that I'll try and get my head round haha

[floflorian]

Yes please ! More tyre tests would be great. A lot of people don't understand the importance of good tyres (or tires for the Americans), so it's worth educating people more on this topic.

Awesome, I love actual reviews that do comparisons. Not a "I tested the tire and it's great", which doesn't mean anything. Having actual similar cars, and back to back testing is amazing, and not seen much these days. Kudos to Tyre Reviews, you got me subscribed!

This helped me out a lot!
My Focus RS came with Pilot Super Sports and when in doubt, go with the same tire.
But now that you produced a direct side by side comparison I am more informed and now know, with confidence, that the PS4S is the upgraded tire.

Thank you very much!
and thank you to the companies and manufactures that invite "Tyre Reviews" to review and quantify tires.

Great video! This helped me a lot with my decision making. After watching, I've decided to go with the PS4Ss for my M4.

Love the detailed analysis of your review. You really nail down the pros/cons instead of the more common ‘hand waving’ of other reviewers 😉. Keep it up!

Great informative video. Well done. What really impressed me, is the honesty & objectivity. Look forward to more videos from you. And yes we would love to see video(s) comparing mpss/mp4s/mp Cup2/conti sport contact 6. It will be an instant hit, especially with people like myself who owns many Porsches with mpss & cup2 & P zero & MPA4 tires. It will be also great to see videos of tire reviews of same or comparable (ultra high performance) tires but at lower temperatures (e.g 33F to 49F) in both dry & wet conditions. Many owners of exotic or sport cars still drive their cars with these ultra high performance tires at these lower temperatures if they live in areas where it does not normally snow, but only very few of these tires perform reasonably OK under such conditions. Again geat job and please keep them coming. Mark

Jon fantastic video and thank you for all your help with getting specific information from Michelin. I've being a long fan on the MPSS since fitting to my 911 where it offered more or less cup levels of grip in the dry but was also superb in the wet and on my 911 they lasted 2-3x longer than any other tyre I had tried previously on track and road. Just fitted the 4S today to the rear and though it is way to early to give performance data the first and immediate thing I noticed over the worn MPSS was NVH and road noise significantly reduced.

A thumbs up and subscription from me! :)

Great video guys and a great addition to your website!

[arnoldceasar]

Just stumbled upon your channel. Very well done, covering many aspects of tyres that enthusiasts care about. Don't worry about being long in run time. Personally I prefer more detailed info over less. I'm also happy to hear you compare directly with other brands in a review. Keep up the good work!

Very well put together, I am currently running the pss on my a4 Quattro it's streets ahead of the conti sc3 my car came with from Audi, given how good the pss is I will have my eye on the new ps4s for sure. So far the tread wear on the pss is outstanding they are so much better than Continentals.

Impressively detailed... the kind of approach us tiregeeks appreciate. Many many thanks.

[BobO-zobi]

I love these PS4s tires. And I’ll admit, I bought them mostly for the looks 😂

[jorgequirante-diaz]

I'm a Tire Technician and I'm around tires everyday. I've learned a lot in the 3 years that I've been in the field. I currently have the PSS on my vehicle and there a night and day difference compared to other UHP tires out there. I'm really excited to put the PS4S on my ride as soon as they become available at my shop. Thank you for the video!

[DOCRUZ]

EXTREMELY HELPFUL REVIEW! Thank you, just went with the 4s for my BBS FI-R

[scottishracer]

Thank you for your excellent review. Exactly what I need to make a decision, 4S shoes will be on my F80 M3 very soon.

[stefstef]

once again a truly informative video, thank you. would be great if there were charts depicting the results. looking forward to the next video

[JimBean]

Thanks for the great explanation. I have the super sports on my S3 now and love them but now I am looking for new tires and really just need a good everyday tire. The 4S looks like it might be my next tire I am just not ready to spend a 1000 dollars again.

[techevo]

Great review, thanks for taking the time and effort to film for us.

[BrinkofSpeed]

Great review, I have MPS 4’s on my 650hp Z06 and love them!
