Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV vs Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport — Compared

“Have a 2014 CTTS with 21" wheels. Just had Michelin PilotSport4 SUV All-season put on. Before that had Michelin PilotSport4S. Have about 1K miles on the new tires, and no experience with it in winter weather yet, but prefer the ride quality over the PS4S. The PS4SUV are a softer ride, yet still have plenty of grip when I hit the "Sport" button. IMO, the PS4S is overkill for the Cayenne. Obviously, subjective and YMMV. Does your wife engage in "spirited" driving? As background, I have PS4S tires on my 2016 Spyder and love them.”

“Figured I would update this thread. Ended up buying a set of four brand new 18" Saab 9-7X wheels that were shipped over, and went with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV tires in 255/55R18 109Y XL flavor. This is the first set of French made Michelins I've purchased, and they all were manufactured in December 2021. Also got some chrome McGard spline drive lug nuts. The ride is definitely firmer than it was compared to the 255/60R17 106V tires on there previously, but that's a good thing in my book. Only put 18 miles on them so far, so I can't say all that much. However, I definitely like them so far.”

“The CrossClimate2 is supposed to be better in every way compared to the prior generations, including less rolling resistance (better fuel economy). Most Tire Rack reviews are from people who have only driven on tires for a short time so when there are tread life ratings from consumers I don't know how accurate it is. My Michelin Pilot Sport4SUV summer tires have 1500 miles on them and started at 9/32nds and are still 9/32nds (all 4 corners) with some very aggressive driving (testing rear sway bars) and only have 200 treadwear rating.”

“Trav- someone I know has these and likes them, good experience so far. When I look on TR, DT it does not show the 235-55-20 as an option. Maybe just current supply issues? I tried the Toyo website directly and it doesn't list them as being an option either. The Celsius Sport, yes, but not the Celsius CUV? The Walmart link doesn't have a purchase option for me just "show nearby availability" but none show. Your thoughts on the Celsius "Sport" if he was looking at that? My experience was with Continental CrossContact LX Sport and Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS. They were both good dry and wet, wore out fast, total safety hazards in the snow, like plastic sled or saucer on a snowy hill bad. For me if winter/snow is a possibility and need reliable traction, anything tire that says sport is not.”

“BIMMERPOST / Classifieds Asking Price: None Item Interest I have a set of Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport RFT from my 2008 X5 with 13K miles on them. This set up is 20" Staggered (315/35 in the rear and 275/40 in the front). I have shifted to Conti DWS, because of the ride quality and not having the ability to drive in the snow. They are for sale as set for $100.00 or $30.00 an individual tire. Prefer local pick up in Norfolk, VA but will ship to you at your expense. Full disclosure I had the right rear plugged 10K miles ago with no problems. Would rather sell to a fellow X5 owner instead of selling them to the used tire guy.”

“I've had the N-spec 20" Bridgestones on my CTTS for just about a year now, and couldn't be more satisfied with them. They're wearing well and balanced up perfectly when I did a Roadforce match balance on them. A very smooth riding tire; you won't be going wrong with these as your summer tire.”
