Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 - great option for performance all-season tires!

 Our Michelin Pilot Sport 4s finally were at about 2/32nds and had to be retired at 32k of usage, so at least they met the warranty lifetime of 30k!  My wife is about to start a new job where there may be more 'weather' to deal with so we opted for the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s to replace them with.  The tire is excellent, great ride quality and the grip is darn good!  



These tires have a 50% upgrade in warranty to 45K so that's a benefit as well for longevity.  Only 54K on our 2016 FoST and loving it!


Here's a review from Tire Rack on performance All-Season tires

Overall, we stuck with the 245/40R18 size for a little width gain from the stock 235 size.  We've been really pleased with them so far!

Ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S - install pending

Our ST has chewed up the OEM tires, took only 23k miles... but what do you expect from a little rocket that you throw around corners.  I'm surprised they lasted this long!  😆

I've had the Michelin Pilot Super Sport (PSS) on my AMG E55 and even on our 2011 Mazda MX-5 - the handling and grip is amazing!  So I looked for those as a replacement - and found them for $149/ea at America's Tire - alas they're an older set of PSS that they're discounting due to age, and they're being phased out...

So we ordered a new set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S which is the successor to the ever popular PSS.

We had to go up 10mm in width to fit the Focus @ 245/40R18 (OEM is 235/40R18)
Install is pending this week... feedback to come!
