@Vincent-Lyon.Fr Pourquoi prononce-t-il le "s" en "tous"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWqkoj9MPMY&t=1m55s

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

In most of its senses, "tous" is pronounced /tu/ (weak pronunciation). When it is an indefinite pronoun, meaning 'all'/'them all'/'all of them'; 'all' referring to people or objects, then it takes its strong pronunciation /tus/. Examples: - Tous sont venus. / Ils sont tous venus. - Je les entends tous. - Je les veux tous. - Un film pour tous. - J'envoie un message à tous. - C'est l'affaire de tous. - Les hommes sont tous pareils. Les hommes sont tous égaux.

The usages of "tous" where it is pronounced /tus/ are the last two diamonds under 3. Pronom indéfini a. (just before b.) in the attached file.
