Making The Best Tire Better - Michelin PS4S

The Michelin Super Sport Successor - PS4S

Michelin Pilot 4S tires improve grip over the previous Pilot Super Sports by using a variety of technologies, including a new compound formulation, a hybrid aramid/nylon belt, a variable contact patch and reactive tread pattern, a multi-tread compound, and an asymmetric tread pattern. Their new tire sets a new benchmark.

Huge thanks to Michelin for having me out for the #MichelinPilotExperience! #PS4S #Partner

all these YouTube guys went to this. this is the only one who learned and shared anything.

I use Pilot Sport 4 on my daily driver and I’m blown away at the levels of grip that can be achieved by a quiet, comfortable, well behaved tyre.
I can’t begin to imagine what the 4S must be like

[idiotu]

This aramid - nylon belt is actually produced in Emmen. A small city in the Netherlands, happens to be my hometown. Great to see this tire is loved all over the world. Great video, keep up the good work!

[BasuSatwik]

15mins and already people complaining about the video sponsored. How does it matter if it is sponsored or not if it gives us more car related content?

[jusbdeone]

Tires are very important but people will spend on expensive exhaust and engine mods but will use cheapo tires

[MattMaranMotoring]

Great video Jason! Michelin definitely seems to be at the top of the tire industry right now. It must have been a blast to test them out.

[DoctaM]

Nicely done Jason. We should have had you teaching that session. Next year, let do it. Great meeting you at the event. The tire is honestly great! Thanks #MichelinUSA

[smee]

I am so glad that someone from the youtube community actually talked about the tyres! Thank you.. Yes the cars were cool but it's nice to hear about the tyres and how the reacted in real world circumstances.. These are on my list for sure..

[numinous]

I run Michelin PSSes and they are great, particularly the treadlife for this category of tire.

[bcredeur]

Also Michelin has an incredible business model. I've never seen so much hype over a tire, good for them and their marketing team. And they actually put up good numbers behind their marketing, so few companies do that. Massive respect for them as of now, and they set a good example for others to follow.

You can put your ad at the rear to avoid negativity. - One thing you did not mention is Ps4S higher mileage and a lower cost than the sticky PSScup2 as found on Corvette Zo6.

[mecheng]

Damn commericals.

Just kidding. Your videos are very educational and I know you don't work for free.

[speedsti]

you sold me on the STi watching your video i purchased an STi in HYPER BLUE 1 OF
11K MILES of very aggresive driving wore out the stock Dunlop Sport Maxx out in the front

just this morning ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4s
Thank you my friend
absolutely enjoy your videos

[disrespectedbug]

Best coverage of this event so far. It's amazing how much optimisation is still possible. Would've been interesting if they had included the previous version of the tyre in the data/tests as well.

[slaWterCH]

Definitely getting a set of these before my trip to Spa in May.

[kpopfanpage]

I just purchased ps4S they are wonderful tires best noise road reduction, awesome handling & always get compliments on how beautiful the tires look!!!

[javevo]
