New Shoes

[CKeeler]

Just replaced my worn out rears this morning. No one in the region has the standard Pilot sport 4. So, on go the 4S

Are the "4S" everything the "4" were but much longer life?

The PILOT SPORT 4 have a 30,000 kilometer (18641 mile) warranty https://www.michelin.ca/en/pilot-sport-4.html
The PILOT SPORT 4 S have a 50,000 kilometer (31069 mile) warranty https://www.michelin.ca/en/pilot-sport-4s.html

How many mile did the old ones last?

I found this video the other day and it helped clear things up for me in regards to the differences

 

[CKeeler]

How many mile did the old ones last?

A bit over 21,000 miles

A bit over 21,000 miles

Wow that’s not long at all.

 

[CKeeler]

It’s seems to be a lot longer than what a lot of others are getting out of the rears. My front tires are only at half life

Are all those miles @CKeeler from normal driving or is there some burnouts amongst your driving. I have the PS4, just what to see how long they are going to last. I don't drive a lot so I figure the tires will dry rot before I wear them out.

 

[CKeeler]

@spider55 it’s mostly highway driving. I’ve kicked the backend out a few times, not much. I don’t spin the tires a lot

That is certainly a lot more than what other owners are reporting. I'm on my third set (including the oem ones). OEM set lasted me a littler over 13k miles, the second 12.5k miles and now this one is already at 2k miles, I'm running lower tire pressures to get a more even wear on the tire.

From day one I ran the tires at 40psi cold. After seeing how they wore down I’m going to start running at the OEM psi. They wore down just a bit more in the center so bringing it down a couple psi I think they should wear evenly for me

Have you considered running the "4s" version for nearly double the life instead of the "4"?

 

[robz32]

I have, but the times I've had to shop for a new set the 4 have been on special, so I go with those

I'm probably changing my wheels when time comes to replace the set I'm currently using.
