Purchased Michelin Pilot 4s today from American Tire Distributors..F 275/35/19... R 305/30/19. Getting them mounted/balanced tomorrow so hopefully they live up to the hype.

I was about to purchase the PS4S but they don't have the tire size I need for the front -_- So I ended up just getting the PSS

Hurry up people I wanna see how these hold up to the hype on the Z lol

About to order my tires and have been thinking about trying these this season.

I'm still working out the new-tire squirm. And then I'm going to be away from my car for a couple weeks. But I'll get a review once they are settled in!

How much is the 305's each?

Latt 03-13-2017 11:28 PM

I paid what Tire Rack is selling them for $369 but no shipping. Really didn't get a chance to get out and drive the Z any over the weekend will report back once I get a few miles on them.

Just checked tirerack the 305 by 19's are priced at $408 each.

When did you buy at $369?

Tirerack must hate you.

Update at around 500 miles: I had some time to give the tires a run in the canyons last night, and am happy to report that what they are saying is true - they're just like the PSS, but MORE. As I said, they're still a little squirmy, but the limits are higher. It's always a little hairy working up to a tire's limit when you're used to a lower limit, especially on public roads, but I'll say that I took turns at about the same speeds I used to start to get a little bit of tire noise, and there was nothing. They just held. For accelerating they held the power through first and second gears. I'm sure I could roast them if I actually launched from a higher RPM, but just rolling into first, I used to spin at around 5K in first and through second. Now, it just rips through the gears. That by itself makes these tires worth it - to be able to actually use the lower gears! It makes me excited all over again to have a supercharger!

Overall, believe the hype. They're just like a PSS but more. Which is amazing because they stick like an older R-Comp, but ride and wear like an normal summer tire. Yes, they're pricey but worth it if you actually need a tire that can hold under hard cornering or putting down a lot of power. Those were my priorities and I'm happy with them. We'll see how long they last. I'll be sure to update this thread as I put more mileage on them.

Thanks for the review brotha! Glad to hear they're living up to the articles.

Thanks for the review, RF!
I've been waiting for direct comparisons to the PSS.
My biggest issue with the PSS was always putting power down off the line and also tires holding up on longer (20+ minute) sessions.
To hear that it puts power down better is exactly what I was hoping for :)

Ditto, I just bought a set of Pilot Super Sports last week. They are my 3rd set on my '09 Z. The last set still had some tread left at about 24K miles but had gotten noisy so I decided it was time for a new set. I was surprised that they were less expensive than the set I bought from the same dealer in July of 2014 but wasn't aware that the PS4S tires were available. I might have given them a try but it will be hard to beat the PSS tires. Those things are just awesome.
