When I change my 2 front tyre from pilot sport 3 to pilot sport 4, my experience is disappointing. I never expect my car become bouncing and floating. I tried reduce the tyre pressure still no help. It is so jerky when I brake. This is very bad. I pay a premium yet I get such lousy experience.

Fitted a set of four 245/40R18 PS4S onto my car. After having a set from another reputable manufacturer, the PS4S were utterly incredible! Road-holding in all conditions, dry or wet, is beyond anything I expected! I don't need to slow down for large roundabouts and can keep 70km/h posted speed without a worry in the dry. Wet stopping is as if there is no water on the road. They are also a lot quieter than other tyres I had before. Can't say anything about longevity yet as I had them for less than 6 months. I recommend them to absolutely everyone!
Yes, I recommend this tire

Fitted these to my 2018 Subaru Outback after the original Bridgestones wore out. Transformed the handling of the car. It never slips wet or dry, the handling is now totally neutral,the ride is improved (surprisingly) and so far after 11,000kms i have lost around 1.5mm of tread. The Bridgestones went 49,000kms, if these can last for more than 30,000kms it's a no brainer. A brilliant tyre.
