Ok, thanks, it is a good video for snow traction comparison, but please post personal experiences with these tires and cracking (or lack thereof) if you have experience with them.
The Mickey Thompsons are a drag tire. If you are looking to go drag racing, they are probably a good bet if you have upgraded your rear axles.
They are not intended for high speed cornering, but designed to launch from a standing start.
PS4S stands for Pilot Sport 4S.
Do you drive on them? If so, have you experienced cracking as a result of cold temperatures?
I have driven on them over several winters and have experienced nothing of that sort, in spite of all the online speculation and hand wringing.
What about you? Have...
The actual diameter of the 315/30 R 19 is 26.5, so, wow, that online calculator is really close.

The All Season diameter is dead on.
The up shot here is that...
And one more piece of information just to add to the above discussion.
The link I posted was to Tire Rack. I could not find information directly from Michelin. I had assumed that Tire Rack gets the information directly from Michelin, but I do not know that. It is merely an assumption. I...
I also wanted to thank you and wesg79 for being respectful during this discussion.
That behavior is rare these days on discussion forums and the internet more generally.
Sincerely, I appreciate it.
But, again, if I lived in New York, or, gasp, Ontario, I would use winter tires or snow tires and certainly not Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires.
But I don't live in those places.
Snow is a very irregular occurrence here, and I really do not have to drive in it with extremely rare exceptions...
Well, at least with Michelin PS4s, which I have used for years, but have never experienced slippery, dangerous conditions in the winter as you describe. I also live in Georgia, so it is nothing like the experience of some others here posting in the thread, although it was 27° early this...
The cracking issue comes up "when exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit . . . or lower," see bottom two arrows that wesg79 drew.
Nowhere does it give any other rating like 40 degrees, much less "might actually be 50."
There is a statement of intention about snow, ice, and...
Read it and quoted the relevant parts, yes. I feel like at this point I am still repeating things from pages ago.
I did not recommend it as a snow tire, or for you to drive in Ontario in January.
I merely corrected your 7° Celsius claim with -7°, which you have now quoted, so I assume we are...
Correct.
Negative. As I said above, I posted the link. Try it out and stop just repeating this over and over without progressing in knowledge or letting the discussion go anywhere. The temperature warning is for -7° Celsius (19.4° or 20° Fahrenheit), as I stated, not 45° Fahrenheit (7°...
I'd call Whipple on Monday and ask them directly. For now, however, use google to search for the actual warranty available from Whipple and download it. Then read it. It looks to me like it plainly says it will not transfer to the new owner and applies only to the original owner.
Google...
Thank you for that review and response. :thumbsup:
I pushed the Trofeos on track until they squiggled around quite a lot, but no matter how hard I stood on the brakes coming down hill at 130+ mph to make the sharp 90 degree left turn on a significantly (suddenly) narrowed track, I could not...
And nowhere have I suggested that anybody in Ontario should run PS4S tires in Ontario in January. That would be retarded. Posting it in response to what I wrote is a straw man fallacy.
And here is what I posted to the original poster:
Relevant part bolded.
Just for the sake of a fuller provision of information, here is the link to the All Season 4

As you can see for yourself, there are no warnings whatsoever regarding temperature, and certainly not the warning I posted above for the...
