Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport vs Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S

This matchup pits two standout max-performance summer tyres against each other: Goodyear's Eagle F1 SuperSport, a road-legal tyre with a strong track-day bias, versus Michelin's Pilot Sport 4 S, the benchmark for all-round road performance. Across 10 shared tests, both deliver serious pace, precision and confidence, but they prioritize different strengths.

The data shows Michelin consistently ahead in objective braking (dry and wet), noise/refinement, and rolling resistance, translating to safer stops, quieter cruising, and better efficiency. Goodyear counters with sharp steering, lively balance, and frequent wins in wet handling and aquaplaning stability-traits enthusiasts feel on a spirited drive or light track work. Expect to choose between ultimate versatility and road manners (Michelin) or sharper dynamics with some compromises (Goodyear).

Real World Driver Reviews

Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport Driver Reviews

Drivers largely praise the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport for exceptional dry grip, sharp steering response, and strong heat resistance that holds up on spirited drives and trackdays, with many noting good wear for a UUHP when driven hard. Wet grip is generally good but less confidence-inspiring than top wet performers, and comfort/noise are firmer and louder than touring options. Overall sentiment is strongly positive with standout dry performance and feedback, while minority concerns cite rapid wear on some vehicles and reduced traction in cold/damp conditions.

Based on 58 reviews with an average rating of 84%

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S Driver Reviews

Drivers largely praise the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S for outstanding dry and wet grip, confident handling, and improved comfort/noise versus rivals, with many noting strong longevity for a UHP tyre. A minority report faster wear on powerful/heavy cars, softer sidewalls leading to vague steering/handling at the limit, and high price; isolated QC/cracking complaints appear but are not representative. Overall, the PS4 S is viewed as a top-tier performance road tyre.

Based on 143 reviews with an average rating of 86%

One word: fantastic! Truly a Michelin PS4s competitor!

Tyres I already drove on my 322hp Megane RS: PS4, PS4s, PS3, Nokian Powerproof and now the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport in 235/40/18.

Dry grip and feedback is great! Full throttle out of the corner is easy (works great with some added negative camber). It gives you so much confidence. The feedback is superb and now I really can push the car to its limits. I think they behave the same as the PS4s but it is difficult to compare because I've changed the suspension this year.

Best Review for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S
Given 100% 275/35 R19 on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Replaced the Pilot Super Sports on my F80 M3 and it's better in every way. The wet grip is insane, it's like you're driving in the dry. Best tyre on the market.

Conclusion

Across the full test set, the Pilot Sport 4 S dominates the scorecard: 9 overall test wins to 1, clean sweeps in wet braking (10/10) and strong leads in dry braking (9/10), noise, and rolling resistance. That combination makes it the safer, quieter, and more economical daily performer without sacrificing pace-often setting top dry times and subjectively praised for balance and precision.

The Eagle F1 SuperSport excels where driver involvement matters most: crisp steering reaction, high cornering stability, strong wet handling balance, and frequent aquaplaning wins. The trade-offs are longer wet stops, higher noise, and higher rolling resistance. If you value razor-sharp feel and occasional track use, Goodyear is compelling. For most drivers who prioritize broad-spectrum performance, confidence in the wet, and refinement, Michelin remains the clear pick.

Memorable takeaway: Michelin stops shorter and rides quieter; Goodyear turns in harder and feels racier.
Key Differences
  • Braking performance: Michelin leads in both dry (9/10 wins) and wet (10/10 wins), often by 3-7% margins
  • Handling flavor: Goodyear offers sharper turn-in and more track-friendly balance; Michelin is smoother and more neutral
  • Refinement: Michelin is quieter and more comfortable; Goodyear is noisier and firmer
  • Efficiency: Michelin's rolling resistance is usually lower (9/10 wins), aiding fuel economy/EV range
  • Aquaplaning: Mixed-Goodyear often edges straight/curved aquaplaning in several tests; Michelin improved notably in newer tests
  • Value: Goodyear is frequently cheaper at purchase, but Michelin may offset cost via wear/efficiency benefits

Footnote

This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.

Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
