The best tire money can buy

When I tell you I'll never buy another tire again. I mean it considering what I've experienced with these tires. I already knew that these tires were very reliable. Due to me having them on my motorcycle & previous vehicles. But Monday sealed the deal for me. I ran over a collated nails in a construction zone. Totally unaware of it, my tire began to go flat. When I looked at the tire I could only see for nails. But when I took my car to the tire shop & they removed the tire. You could see the actual extent of damage that occurred. And just how well these tires held up, keeping my son & I safe. Needless to say I purchased another set of the same tires with a warranty. I'll vouch for these tires every single time.

Really Wanted the New Pilot Sport 5's

These tires were OE on my 2023 AMG SL 63. Great handling, precise response and grip but terrible tread wear. Got only 13,000 miles!!! I wanted to replace them with the new Michelin Sport 5's but they weren't available for the front so I reluctantly went with another set of the Pilot Sport 4 S. I briefly considering going with the Pilot All Season, but I wasn't willing to sacrifice the performance aspect of my car for convenience.

Check the DOT age of your Tires

Check the manufacturer date of the tires! I put low mileage (4000) on this car with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on this garaged car. The tires are almost 5 yrs on car with approx 24000 miles and the tires are showing aging problems. The outer edges of the tires are splitting. The alignment was done about 1.5 years ago. So I checked the DOT age of the tire and realize that the tires were 3 years old when they were sold and installed on the car. Who sells 3 yr old tires. Tire Rack tells you when they sell you old tires and marks them down. That is a reputable company. But not where I bought these tires.

We're sorry to hear about the condition of your Pilot Sport 4 S tires and understand your concerns regarding the DOT manufacturing date. Tires can be sold and installed after being manufactured, provided they have been properly stored, but we understand your concern about the age of the tires at the time of purchase. To better understand the cracking and splitting you've described, we recommend having the tires inspected by an authorized tire dealer. Please contact our Consumer Care team at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST), and provide the inspection results. We'd be happy to assist.
