Pilot Sport 4S Customer Reviews
Amazing on my SL550!!
Horrible tread life. Great traction and feel.
3rd set of these on Audi S4. Love the quality, only complaint is treat life ( not-unexpected) , but with credit for un-accomplished tread life, I don't complain. No great tire is gonna last 30K of hard driving. Surprisingly good wet traction given profile.
Counting the original set of these tires that were stock on my BMW M-Roadster, I am on my fourth set of these tires. I absolutely love how they handle on curves! I don't get extended miles with these tires, but that is more about how I drive the car than the quality of the tires!
