Anyone running Pilot 4 Sport 4S Summer on 1LE?
Trying to decide between the Michelin AS and Summer tires. I assume both are much less sticky than OE? I’m not going to track the car or drive in snow. Want the best performance I can get without sandblasting my paint…

Less sticky, but better daily driving. Get them if you're just daily driving.

I launched just as well on my PS4S at the dragstrip as my bud in an SS 1LE on his stock Goodyear SC3s, and I was also able to keep up with him in the canyons (mind that I have 1LE wheels and wider tires than the stock SS).
Not very scientific, I know, but for street and daily driving plus the occasional dragstrip/mountain road flogging, the PS4S is almost unbeatable, especially when rain or standing water is a possibility. It's even quieter than any other tire I tried. As to all-season vs summer, if you don't need to drive in under ~40-degree weather, you probably won't have any issues with the summer tire and you won't need to sacrifice performance in the warm and dry. I do take the car out in 35-36 degrees, too, these PS4S summer tires still work just fine, but then I never venture beyond feisty grandma style at those temps.

I’m planning on installing ACS rockers and doing ceramic/ some film as well- although it would be nice to skip the film… I don’t like the seams. At some point, you have to just enjoy the car knowing it will eventually show some age. It’s on way to dealer now. Can’t wait even though I’ll have to store it away for a few months once I get it! |

Not sure which Angola (i.e. what state), but I live in the St. Louis area and run PS4S as my street tires and also as my rain tires for autocross and track duty. They are great for this, and they are leagues faster than any all-season, even in rain. If you don't believe me about the rain, check out a good test of the Continental equivalents (these are really the only peers to the Michelins in the two categories). I've driven them on some mornings where the temps were in the high 20s with zero issues at all. We are heading into some days where the high temps will be in the teens, so I'm finally going to swap out to my base-model 18x8.5 with crappy all-seasons. Even the PS4S picks up some gravel, but not as much as the OE Goodyears on a hot day.
