I could not find one where he compares an all season. I am guessing it would do better than the winter tire, but that is just a guess. Would it do better than the summer tire? The same YouTuber has a test with all 3 tires, but it is useless, because he tests only in the warm dry and wet (duh...

Dark Horse, 135 mph, no hood flutter that I noticed.

Neat. Reminiscent of a Mach 1.

Yes, but now we can drive everybody crazy on the forum by insisting upon it. :crackup:

Then he goes back down in elevation to the same road as before does the same braking test with the winter tires on dry, cold asphalt. It is two degrees warmer at 26° Fahrenheit (-3.3° C). Panic stop, ABS activated. Let's see how much better they perform.

In the following video, a man uses his extreme summer tires in 24 degree Fahrenheit weather (-4.4° C) and does some panic braking tests. Wow, it takes a long time to stop, way longer than it takes in the summer with these same summer tires. It is true. Summer tires are hard like hockey pucks...

You are in Georgia, like me. Do you run the PS4S all year around or swap to winter or all season tires this time of year?

Are you still driving with the PS4S now that it is December, or did you switch to winter or all weather tires?

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S have the following warning at TireRack: Note: Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any...

Oh, okay. That makes perfect sense, an oil cooler, which is a radiator. Thanks for the follow up.

Thank you. Sorry to be so persistent, but the detailed answers are more useful. I appreciate your patience in answering.

The Roush kit comes with a new radiator? What is it like compared to the stock radiator?

Ok, so just to be clear for the purpose of the thread, when you said on page 1 that you haven't had the cracking happen, you do not drive your PS4S in colder than 45 degree weather?

robvas, sorry, I should have asked right after you posted, but would you please share the conditions in which you drove the PS4S (temperature and such)? Thank you in advance.

Sorry you see this thread as some sort of personal affront. I am, however, actually interested in a thread in which folks post their personal experience with winter cold weather cracking in this particular tire (whether it happens or not). This is a popular tire choice with forum users here...

Michelin does say that, or at least Tire Rack does, yes. I assume that Tire Rack got that from Michelin, but I do not know that. It appears to be far too specific to be a general warning from Tire Rack, like their "not intended to be driven in" winter that they slap on every summer tire.

So one post so far that looks like to could be a personal experience with cracking PS4S due to cold temperatures. wesg79, did you replace the new ones before winter or cold weather arrived again?

I was asking for personal experiences, not just being a skeptic. Keep in mind that I have my own experience with PS4S in the winter. (on an AWD car that did not have 500 hp). This thread will be a useful reference for every visitor in the future considering tires. Thank you for responding...

Wow, awesome car!

I haven't ever had Sport Cup 2s, but the Trofeos get ridiculously slippery at 50 degrees! I am about to replace mine. I was thinking about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, so I would like to hear if anybody has had this cracking issue that everybody on the internet is sure will happen. If anybody...
