    New Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

    The Pilot Sport 4S is the higher-performance model and the true successor to the Pilot Super Sport. It will be available in both OE and replacement fitments.

    With a lineup consisting of 19” and 20” wheel diameters only (with the convenient exception of 245/40R18), the Pilot Sport 4S is scheduled as a two-phase launch, with 35 sizes launching in March of 2017 and the final 23 sizes available one year later in March of 2018.

    Expect replacement fitments of the Pilot Super Sport to phase out approximately in-step with the phase in of the Pilot Sport 4S, but the Pilot Super Sport is not completely going away, as production of the OE fitments will continue. So if your car comes OE with the Super Sport they will still be available.

    A full test including the Pilot Sport 4S is on the schedule for this spring, but what we know so far is compared to the Pilot Super Sport, the Pilot Sport 4S is similar on the road and in the dry, with small improvements in refinement and marginally-improved dry performance. The biggest gains over the Pilot Super Sport come in rolling resistance, and more notably, wet performance, where the Pilot Sport 4S has taken an impressive step forward in measured testing. The Pilot Sport 4S also retains the 30,000 mile tread life warranty of its predecessor.

    Though not yet live on the website, the Pilot Sport 4S initial size lineup has been built in our AS400, so customers may preorder in anticipation of what will likely be very high demand.

    The global product launch is currently taking place in California, with media influencers from around the world in attendance.

    If I can help with anything let me know.

    Jim,

    Are the 19-20" options going to be it except the one 18" you mentioned? Or is there any indication that the additional 23 in the 2nd phase release could be other sizes? I was hoping for more 18" options.

    Thanks

    Those sizes I listed are all they are going to have the first year. I am sure there will be more options down the road.

    Jim,
    Car: 95 M3, H&R OEM Sports, Koni, OZ Superleggera 8x17 et40. As you know 235/40/17s are no longer available.

    Do you know of any plans for 245/40/17s (I figure they'll fit)? Think they'll become available later in 4s? or continue availability in Super Sport?

    If need be I'll buy a set now and store them. I probably have one summer or more on my Pilot Sports.
    Thanks!

    Nothing at this time. They only did the bigger sizes in the first run. Hopefully they do add the 17" sizes in the future but I doubt it will be anytime this year.
