CarCareTruth's Analysis
Last reviewed June 2, 2026
TL;DR Max-performance summer tire with UTQG Traction AA and class-leading wet braking. Independent tests place it at or near the top of its class on wet and dry; short tread life is the expected trade-off for the performance compound.
What it is and how it performs
The Pilot Sport 4S is sold in a wide range of low-profile performance sizes; this page represents the model, not one size. UTQG grades: Treadwear 300, Traction AA, Temperature A. Tire Rack rates it number one in max-performance summer. TyreReviews places it top two for wet and dry across 27 tests. Owner odometer reports land at 20,000-25,000 miles under normal street use.
Who should buy this, and who should skip it
Right pick for sports car owners who prioritize wet and dry grip in warmer months. Skip it for year-round use or longer tread life; a 3PMSF-rated all-weather tire is the right class for that.
Safety and environmental impact
Cured-rubber-and-steel construction; no chemical-exposure pathway from the tire itself in normal mounting and use. All tires shed tire-wear particles and 6PPD-quinone in road runoff, an aquatic toxicity concern shared across the category.
