I've had experience with both the pilot super sports and now the pilot 4s on my 21 c63s that I drive 3-4 days out the week all year around and I live in the transitionzone of the US. The super sports are much stickier esp in the summer when the roads are hotter you can actually hear the tires picking up rocks and pebbles and they chirp when you put your foot down; however in the rain they spin and if its too cold they hop and skip esp when turning kind of like a bad loose lower ball joint. The pilot 4s are not as sticky or grippy as the SS’s but all around wet/cold/hot they are a great tire if your going to driving in all four seasons. I've noticed with the 4s even in the summer my car fish tails from a stop trying get traction even in the summer months they're spinning instead of gripping like SS. I hope this adds some context. I will be going back to the SS’s though and I won't be driving it in the rain like I used to as I have other vehicles for that
I run that exact tyre on my Merc E63 AMGs and like most people have said, easily the best performance tyres out there.
Awesome!
Like driving on a lake at day break.
Seriously.
After i bought my E53 i went back in a month later and replaced my Conti with the Michelin.
i love the 4s, they perform really good in anything. Good Braking, very good dry and wet traction.
great, they haven’t exploded in me at high speeds yet ????
Best tire in my opinion for daily driving before going to a 200 thread wear tire.
Very good in the rain, noise is as expected but not super loud, and very grippy when they’re hot. They stiffen up in cold weather.
Looks like Cup2 240s are available in the 225 size. Never used them but I'm a massive fan of the normal Cup2 on my 911.
If these tires are any good they are an incredible bargain.
I went to 18 inch wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tires hoping that it would help. Improved the ride and reduced my stress over blow outs on the 20 inch OEM tires, but didn\u2019t fix the noisy suspension.
I’ve had these for about 18 months / 15K miles on my 18’ AWD LX and I can’t say I’m a fan. Although they are amazing in the rain. I ironically wish for rain sometimes for longer trips because they drive SO much better on wet pavement compared to dry.
- The road noise is ridiculous on an AWD model.
- They’re wearing very fast for tires with only 15K.
- Drop in fuel efficiency once installed (~2MPG drop).
- Rocks, twigs, and everything else you can imagine get stuck in the grooves and can lead to a rough ride.
