A new version tire was released recently? PS4 All season in the NON-Run Flat version. Has anyone used them? I usually use the PS4S with a 330 rating and the all season is a 500 I believe. I'm concerned about road noise. Any feedback on these tires?

I have them on my car. I don't think there is any noticeable difference from the run flats.

I recently purchased Michelin AS4 run flats for my 08. Excellent. $1,047.00. Mounted and balanced from Discount Tire. Purchased my sensors from TPMS24/7 for $120.00. Military and Michelin discounts were applied to this purchase.

. The PS4S is what I originally ordered but Michelin was not going to start production of the rear 19’s for our cars until April 1. Discount called Michelin on April 4 and they did not have a production date yet. You may be waiting for awhile. Good Luck.

Discount Tire said that my PS4 all season should be in Monday. I'm a little nervous because of them being a little harder compound but what the hell they're only tires.

That means they'll last longer.

I put these on my 2011 GS at Discount Tire a few weeks ago. I don't find them noisy at all. They handle high speed cornering well with great grip. Haven't tested wet conditions, but they have great reviews.

I would highly recommend them. But January delivery would kill the deal for me.

Hope this helps.

I had to go with what was available, tires are done and I just can't wait. I am waiting for the Continental Extreme Contact DWS6 Plus, all season to come in. They were my 2nd choice, so I guess they are my 1st now.

I have them on my 2022 BMW 330i Xdrive. GREAT tires. It's a solid contender to the Michilens.

I got my 2012 Grand Sport 7 weeks ago. First thing I did was replace the factory run flats with the Michelin PS4s. Non run-flat. It made a HUGE difference in both ride quality and noise. Very happy with them thus far.

1- Get rid of those Run-Crp tires. (theye're called that for a reason)
2- Replace the shocks......

At the time the Michelin Super Sport was the go to tire and Bilstein was the go to shock. I did these 2 simple things and it is literally a different car. Ya see I am 66 years old and am through with cars that rattle the fillings out of my teeth as I drive down the road. That car actually made my back hurt. If I had to drive the car like it was when I bought it I would sell it in a Heartbeat, Chevrolet Heartbeat of course.

I put those on my '13 GS a couple of years ago and still love them. My personal best on the G meter jumped up from 1.11 to 1.29 on my favorite road.

I switched to Michelin Pilot Super Sports non run flats. No issues with them but just a bit noisy in the highway.
