I've run through a set of the RE-71R's and they were very noisy but great on grip. The car definitely felt more planted. Currently I am running Continental DW's for street and about to try a set of Toyo R888R next time out at the track. Looking forward to that!

Noise is an understatment....
Michelin pss is a much better all around tire.
For a street car, not worth the trade offs....

I ran these for all of 3-4k this year. Not very good once they degrade. Grip and cornering stability drop off once they are near the end of their life.

mad grip.I need to decide on what to run this coming summer. I've been on RE-11s for 4 seasons and my only is concern steering response of either PSS or PS4S. I have a feeling they will feel sloppy in comparison First world problems.

I contacted Michelin again today about 18s, as they currently offer only one size. Response was not encouraging:
"We do not have any knowledge of making more 18 inch tires for the Pilot Sport 4 S"
May have to start wheel shopping . . .

I asked again about plans for releasing the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s in 18" sizes (245/40ZR18/XL is still the only one available).
Michelin's response today: 'The 18" rim sizes will launch February 1, 2018.'

How do you record the mileage when the tires are installed to claim warranty from Michelin? I assume an authorized Michelin shop needs to record it and you need to buy from them too? I always get them online.

I buy online as well. I just tell them what the mileage is. No issues so far
