Oh yes! I believe in good tires.
Tires are very important to me. And in my experience, Michelin is always one of the better ones; a good combination of reasonable lifespan combined with good grip, good performance, not too noisy, and acceptable comfort. A good overall package. A new criteria is on my list for tires! Efficiency! On the Tesla electric car, we worry significantly about tire efficiency, as some tires have high rolling resistance and therefore aren't very efficient. Michelin recently announced they're coming out with an "Electric Vehicle" tire that will focus on efficiency priorities and low noise (since electric cars are quieter, you hear more wind and tire noise).
Does it make sense or is it just nonsense ?
Last week i fitted new tires to the Megane RS, Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 245/35/19. Brandnew tires always give you that wow-feeling compared to the prvious tires you had. They are soo much better ...... OFFCOURSE THEY ARE BETTER ! Your old tires were worn o...
No 😂😂🤣🤣
I think you still have this funny pic in mind 😛. My Megane wheels next to the Clio. ...
In my opinion...
The Michelin has a stiffer construction than the other two giving significant handling gains when going for it 👍
And still they manage to make them last longer ...
... at least that’s what ‘they’ say 😁
In principle...
In practice performance will deteriorate beyond a certain wear level and you will not get the same braking or wet performance. But that’s not just a Michelin issue - as you say, no worn tire will perform as well as when it was new.
I have these on my RS4 they are very good but not great
Previously, I ran R-compound tires Bridgestone RE-11 (now discontinued) which were great but I let someone convince me that the PS4S is superior. Big mistake! But, that is on my car which is riding on KW V3 suspension and your mileage may vary. ...
R compounds are pretty hardcore tires ...
... which seem to be pretty useless in the wet. I guess it’s a bit like the Toyo R-888 which are fabulous once warmed up in the dry. Only problem where i live is the climate, mostly pretty chilly from zero to 10 degrees C and a lot of rain/wet roads. My f...
I have one like that as well ...
A 2 litre diesel 😂, very uncool compared to your V8. Impressive car, a classic.
LOL! I love Diesels. I almost got a TDI days before VAG pulled all their cars out of the showroom floors.
BTW, I just got a set of PS4S's on my A3 today. The OEM tires were Continental all-season sliders...😂 ...
ON THE TRACK I SWITCH TO MY r COMPOUND TIRES
on he street it is a waste of money they wear quickly and you can never get near the potential of the tires on the street . iut's for the all show no go crowd . plus i never go less than 50 or 55 series they tend to break wheels on the road those 35 serie...
Yes track ....
Last time i took the Clio was back in 2018 😢. Didn’t find enough time in 2019. And yea .’’ 2020 🤢 Definately have to equip the Clio with these Ps4 when they become available in 17 inch.
Tire choises
I drove a lot with Michelins, which where tough. Bought two winter Continentals which does delete snow in front, and i end up with 4 Good years which upgrade the driving experience. My favorite three which i will put on any car from Toyota, BMW, Porsche, ...
The last one take my attention
Yokohama. I am very curious how they perform. How should they handle on a Porsche 911 991.1 GT3 4.0? Can it shorten lap times on SPA in dry weather conditions? A Nissan GTR Nismo is also a good candidate for a set of Yokohama’s for a fun day at SPA. Or le...
I'm looking to replace my AMG's tires with these...
But with so little driving... It's going to take a while before the tires get worn out!
Best choice either way.
They might be a little bit more expensive than other big brands but they’re worth it. It’s always a win win, especially compared to very cheap tires, my cousin once put ‘Flamingo’ tires on his Benz 190E back in the days 🤣. We always joked about it, one da...

Makes me think about a joke !!
Do you know the difference between 365 used condoms and a tire ? None, in both cases, it's a good year....
All depends on use
Been really happy with my 17" PS4S, definitely more compliant than the ad08r. I am looking forward to taking them to the track but I expect lower grip than the 08r.
Ah the 17 inch ....
My tire supplier told me he was able to get them here in Belgium .... i’m curious.
