    Michelin Pilot 4S tires improve grip over the previous Pilot Super Sports by using a variety of technologies, including a new compound formulation, a hybrid aramid/nylon belt, a variable contact patch and reactive tread pattern, a multi-tread compound, and an asymmetric tread pattern. Their new tire sets a new benchmark.
    Huge thanks to Michelin for having me out for the #MichelinPilotExperience! #PS4S #Partner
    Below are Michelin's disclaimers for their claims of
    1.) First In Dry Braking.
    2.) First In Wet Braking
    3.) First In Dry Lap Times
    "1. Based on commissioned third-party dry braking tests conducted by TÜV SÜD in Papenburg and Memmingen, Germany, from 62 mph to 0 mph comparing the MICHELIN® PILOT® Sport 4 S (110.4 ft. avg. stopping distance) versus the Bridgestone® Potenza™ S-04 Pole Position™ (115.3 ft. avg. stopping distance), Continental® ExtremeContact™ DW (117.4 avg. stopping distance), Pirelli® P ZERO™ (116.5 ft. avg. stopping distance), and Goodyear® Eagle® F1 Asymmetric 3(115.3 ft. avg. stopping distance) in tire size 255/35ZR19 96Y using a 2016 AUDI S5 Coupe 3.0 TFSI 333 hp.

      This is unrelated but when I saw 2 youtubers blew off being served by Michelin star chefs I kind of wanted to scream at the screen. Getting to sit at a chefs table of a world class chef is a rare and unique opportunity that most people will never experience. The idea of dismissing something so rare I just can't imagine. I guess it's not for everyone but others of us pay north of $500 a person for something like that.

    • @unlisted9494
      @unlisted9494 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They were influences, not all car guys. I suggest you listen to the smoking tire podcast, Matt Farah talked for about 15 minutes about the event and the tires.TLDR; he said there's no difference with the car he drove.

    • @invalid8774
      @invalid8774 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      his conclusions might be biased. But Michellin has been leading the charge for a long time now, also the raw stats proove his points. People, who dislike product placement, tend to forget, how good it can be, if noone is fooled...

    • @porsche558
      @porsche558 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Satwik Basu It really doesn't matter at all. My guess is what has people annoyed is the idea that this video was basically a commercial for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. Usually Engineering Explained videos entail things like what not to do in a CVT or how AWD works. This video was far from the usual format. I know I personally hate commercials and see enough of them everywhere else. I'm not going to waste time complaining I'd rather just unsubscribe.

      It's sponsored in the right way. Michelin brought in pretty much everybody on TH-cam car media, and made a very public event. No "behind the doors" stuff.

  • @nickcook7408
    @nickcook7408 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I use Pilot Sport 4 on my daily driver and I’m blown away at the levels of grip that can be achieved by a quiet, comfortable, well behaved tyre.
    I can’t begin to imagine what the 4S must be like

    • @jackpowell8155

      Seriously. When I first learned to drive and used to try to drive fast in the hills where we lived. My Dad, he said to me, Always have respect for your machine. Dont unnecessarily push it to the limits. Remember all that is between you and the ground is a bit of rubber and some air. So make sure your tyres are always in top condition and with the proper pressure in them. And properly balanced and aligned as well. Look after these essentials and keep looking for sidewall cracks and other such. A tyre, like anything else, deteriorates over time. So it is sensible to change them as they age and become harder and less pliable even though they may not have run all that many kilometers. The last thing you want is a blowout at speed!

    • @akieabdul
      @akieabdul 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Engineering Explained great video btw. Although I have two questions. Are the new Michelin pilot sport 4 s tires faster in the dry than the old super sport? I couldn't find any comparison on michelins website to confirm or deny this. And is the new bi-compound construction now 40% dry grip oriented compared to the old ss which was only 20% dry oriented. And what I'm referring to is only the outer 1/5 of tread blocks was a dry compound on the ss and judging by your video the ps4s the outer 2/5 is dry compound. Thank you so much again for your videos.

    • @EngineeringExplained
      @EngineeringExplained  7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Yes, quicker in the dry than the SS tire. They quoted a 0.16 sec lap time improvement over the previous tire.

    • @HambertHM
      @HambertHM 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

  • @disrespectedbug7666
    @disrespectedbug7666 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Best coverage of this event so far. It's amazing how much optimisation is still possible. Would've been interesting if they had included the previous version of the tyre in the data/tests as well.

    • @EngineeringExplained
      @EngineeringExplained  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you!! They did include some data comparisons versus the previous tire at the event - though I don't recall all of the numbers. I think the dry lap time improvement was 0.16 seconds, which doesn't sound like too much, but in racing that's a huge lap advantage. Edit: They also mentioned a 7% improvement in the wet braking.

  • @turb0flat437

  • @bcredeur97
    @bcredeur97 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Also Michelin has an incredible business model. I've never seen so much hype over a tire, good for them and their marketing team. And they actually put up good numbers behind their marketing, so few companies do that. Massive respect for them as of now, and they set a good example for others to follow.

    You just saved me a lot of time and research effort. Thanks! When I got my 350Z about 3.5 years ago I put Super Sports on it for the summer, and something else in the winter, and got over 50,000 km out of them. After this winter season is over I'm going to need new summer tires, and I haven't had time yet to research whether or not their new tire was actually better. I'm very glad to see it is, otherwise I would've been in the dark as to what to buy. The Super Sports were great! Never been more happy with a tire than I was with them. Looking forward to the new tires. I wish they had put the Super Sport in all the same tests just so we could see what the difference was.

    @MrSaghezi 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Which tires are best for Los Angeles roads in your opinion . I just bought a used 2016 corvette stingray convertible with no z51 package. I have magnetic suspension and it is very comfortable. Even with these OEM RFT super sports its still extremely comfortable compared to others. I am only looking at Michelin tires and still do not know which to choose. ZP, 4s, ps2, or maybe the all season tires. I am not going on the track or driving in the rain. Comport is the most important and I guess performance is a little less important. Which one would you recommend and how much more comfortable are they from the RFT super sports that I am driving on right know? I am also open to other brands if they are better. Thank you

  • @parkerwalls673

    Any idea how the Bridgestone RE-71R would compare to the Pole Position and PS4S? Debating what tires to get for my Miata... I noticed you got the RE-71R for your S2000. I reckon the Michelin is probably more comfortable though?

    @spmil999 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just got the Super Sports on 04 Mach 1. I replaced the standard Eagle tire that I never loved. Whoa. The difference was astounding. Road noise dropped. (I realize a worn out tire will always be louder than fresh rubber.) Grip and drive ability skyrocketed. The Goodyears lasted a long time but that was the only great thing about them. The SS's grab and bite hard when pushed. If I go to kick the rear end out, I love how predictable every moment feels with all that grip waiting to grab again. I don't need or want to add to the stigmata of mustang drivers.

    Also, do you have any idea where I can find comparison of "lesser brand" tires? For example, I run Nitto 555 on my Mustang and would like to see how they stack up to some of these high end tires.

    nice video, on my e63, ive been running 295 30 19s PSS for almost 30000 miles in rear....stock size is 285 but not available in pss....even with a tad bulgy on my 9.5 inch rear wheels its still been a better performer than the p zero the car came with...
    the fronts on the other hand, was victim to a little much of neg camber from amg and wore on inside

  • @RocknAV8R1
    @RocknAV8R1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great information! Can you comment on the difference between vehicle-specific models of a tire and the standard version? For example, I'm running the stock M2-specific PSSs that came with my M2. Would switching to a non M2-specific version of the PS4S negate some of the benefits of the new tire technology? For the cars used in the Michelin demo, there was a mix of car-specific versions of tires along with off-the-shelf versions of competitor tires. Any thoughts?

    • @EngineeringExplained
      @EngineeringExplained  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As far as switching to a non-brand specific, the manufacturers have tested the tires with their specific vehicles and requested certain changes about the tire to better fit with their vehicle design (whether it's in regards to the suspension variables, steering feel, etc.). With regards to the tires used in testing, I do not know if they develop a specific tire for the BMW 340i (I know they do for the M cars, but it may differ).

    Another great vid, but if only you saw my comment on the last video! (maybe you did...maybe it was too late...) but if that thermal camera would have any indication to show tire temperature distribution and help give reason to why the PS4S performed better when hot!

    Is there any sense in installing these on my 2018 Impreza Sport (NOT a WRX)? I love to thrash it around twisty mountain roads and despite its modest power (152hp) it’s a really fun and sensible car. If I’m not going to be driving over 170km/h on a track, etc, will I get much benefit?

    @aersoul 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    What sort of feedback do these tires give at the limit before traction loss? Is it progressive with ample warning or a sudden drop? Just curious because that's a pretty important thing to be aware of when buying tires for my style of driving. I like to have signs of a limit rather than going over without knowing.

    • @xpeacemaster
      @xpeacemaster 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Really? ever review where someone actually drove their car hard with a set of summer tires according to tire rack says no max or extreme performance summer tire will last and pss' get eaten by camber wear.

    • @numinous4789
      @numinous4789 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      teh vee teh vee Yep, really. And these aren't track tires; they're performance daily driver tires. And I drive/setup for performance, not stance. Maybe the stance guys should choose another tire; I don't know. I've never heard of that issue. But, like I said, my car isn't setup for "looks" but functionality.

    • @xpeacemaster
      @xpeacemaster 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Numinous a couple of degrees of camber is not stance. Any and every performance vehicle has negative camber dialed in ,where passenger cars run a little bit of positive camber. A couple degrees of camber isn't 'stance' and many manufacturers require 2-3 degrees of negative camber for the best performance, eg Toyo r888's. Judging on your review , I doubt you drive your tires hard man and not having the numerical data to back up the tires longevity claim doesn't help your opinion or answering my question. The majority of people in those reviews lied to themselves, hence why I am asking you! Because Michelin's 30k warranty doesn't apply to cars with any camber, so the people hyper miling these tires aren't even putting them to work.

    • @numinous4789
      @numinous4789 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      teh vee teh vee I've had no issues and run a performance level of camber. And my tires definitely get worked, from both canyon carving and the 385/380 @ the wheels that I put down in my Speed 3.
      -3 degrees on a standard car is completely excessive. I'd like to see a manufacturer's spec on a "normal" car that calls for -3 degrees camber, LOL. That's actually beyond a performance-DD setting of camber, according to the race shop that does my alignements and does tracking events/track support virtually every single weekend of the year.
      I wonder if you realize that toe settings can have a major impact on excessive edge wear? Like I said, I've loved my PSSes and have many buddies who have run them too. Not a single one had the issue you mentioned. And we drive our cars like we stole them.

    • @AirsoftFanatics
      @AirsoftFanatics 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I am on my second set of super sports now. First set was trashed after 16k miles. I had -3 degrees of camber. Will probably not go with super sports in the future.

  • @YourNickIsTaken

    Hey Jason, can you give some info about wheel sizes, please?
    I wonder when will wheel size increment stop? Is there a limit? What is the best wheel size. Does the body geometry decides the optimal wheel size? When will production passenger vehicles (not SUVs) have 20+ tires? Why did manufactures start making cars with 14-" wheels back in the stone age? Why are now 18" and 19" tires in the market? I'm confused and curious.
    Can you give me some history and math about this topic?

    Do tuners ever put the Exaust near the driving tires in cold climate to heat up the compound? Thought about this today when the heat from the Exaust heated up my feet this morning when loading my dog's in the SUV.

  • @interamerichanic
    @interamerichanic 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great explanation of PS4S technology, but by inside and outside are you referring to the car, or the turn? If the latter, the effect seems specific to the outside of the tire on the OUTSIDE of a turn. Wouldn't the opposite occur on the outside of the tire on the INSIDE of the turn, thus deriving no benefit from the dual compound technology? I know there is centrifugal weight transfer during cornering, but is the outside tire so much more important in turns, that the opposite effect on the inside tire can be discounted? In a very flat, low slung car the inside tire still carries a lot of load, so the effect should be bi-directional, I think.

    I struggle to find the best possible 19-20 inch Summer tyres for my BMW 535i xDrive 2012. What I am absolutely sure is though, I do not want any RFT!
    There are 3 tyres in which I am interested (All w/o RFT) : PSS (*), PS4s (w/o *), Conti SC6 (w/o *)
    The only "Star-Tyre" without RFT is the Michelin Pilot Super sport.
    Do you recommend buying older-generation tyres WITH * or newer Generation WITHOUT * ???
    Thank you

  • @l3v4rt
    @l3v4rt 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I imagine they won't be avaible for smaller dimensions, probably 18''+.. I was purchasing tires for my BMW e21 and Michelin Pilot Sport 3 was probably the best tyre to have in the 15'' department (for road use - no semislicks). As a light car with no ABS I must say that there is a massive difference between good tire and a bad tire, it just sucks that they are cutting down the dimension options for us, that don't roll a huge wheel... Great content, thank you for the video!
