Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Acoustic/Noise Cancelling

hlothery · 10-29-2021, 06:05 PM

Just a second to Claykin's choice of tire. I, too, have the Michelin PS3ZP on my M550. I have found them to be grippy, quiet, and smooth....plus I'm getting better than expected longevity. I will purchase them again when I need new tires. Having been monitoring EV forums, the foam is a new thing for EV tires to help reduce road noise. Will be interesting to see how this develops

I'm looking forward to airless tires.

Michelin says 2024. Love the concept, but not the look. I hope they begin to grow on me over time. Also, I wonder about performance issues, but i'm sure Michelin will handle that.

Agree. I suspect future generations will have a closed sidewall. I can think of a few situations where the open sidewall can cause problems.

Such as this scene from My Cousin Vinny

Has anyone had any luck finding these in 245/35ZR20 (fronts). It doesn't look like Michelin makes them in that size only the rears 275/30ZR20.

I dont think they make the fronts (yet), but when I spoke with Michelin they said they are going to be making several sizes with "acoustic" noise cancelling.
For now I just got the regular PS4S for the fronts and the acoustic for rear.

Getting mounted on Nov 16th.

So what is the verdict?
I ordered the exact same configuration for G31 530D.
If i experience highway vibrations i am going to kill my self..
Probably the most expensive fitment you can do..
