No Gimmick Tires

I originally bought the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ with a wheel and tire package in 2016. Those tires were very impressive and held up well. When I had to get new tires, the Pilot Sport A/S 4's were a no-brainer. I've had a while to give them a full and honest review. In dry conditions these tires perform just as well as any summer tire on the market. There is no lack of grip in cornering and little to no road noise depending on the condition of the road. In wet rain conditions these tires grip the road very well and keep the car grounded through corners. In snow conditions the tires do pretty well, depending how much snow. I have had some traction issues in over two inches of new snow. Obviously in these conditions, you use your best judgement and use an abundance of caution and maybe even opt for a winter tire if conditions call for it. Overall they perform well in cold conditions up to -10 below. I've never had a traction issue on cold dry roadways using these tires. Ice and snow may bring a little bit of traction issues from a dead stop, but once you are up to speed you will have enough grip to make it home. After close to two years of driving with roughy 30-45k highway miles (and not always following the reccomended tire rotation intervals) all tires are at a 7/32 tread depth and still have plenty of life left. Someone may look at the overall price point and opt for a cheaper tire option, I wouldn't call it the most "economical" option. In terms of "you get what you pay for" these are worth every penny. There's a reason you see plenty of performance manufacturers putting Pilot Sports on from the factory. It's not a gimmick. These tires will last much longer than other brands, and will continue to deliver the performance and safety you expect from a brand like Michelin.

Horribly LOUD & NOT LIKE the old wonderful) Michelins

I bought the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (ZR rated) for my Lexus LS. These tires are SO NOISY!! They are also hard and you feel the shock from rough roads. They are much noisier than my old Michelin tires. However, they are much better than the Michelin Primacy mxm4 A/s which I swapped for the Pilot Sport. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID both the Primacy mxm4 and Pilot Sport. Being EV ready, they are low rolling resistance, hard rubber and LOUD. They do not perform anything like the Pilot Sports of 5-10 years ago, which were stellar tires. I am very, very disappointed. MICHELIN SHOULD HAVE SEPARATE LINES FOR EV AND EFFICIENCY AND OTHER LOW CLASS CARS, AND A DIFFERENT LINE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT THE WONDERFUL QUIETER, SOFTER AND SMOOTHER TIRES UPON WHICH MICHELIN BUILT ITS PRIOR REPUTION. One positive: it is good that Michelin has its 60 day swap program. Given the poor quality and NOISE of these new Michelin kinds of tires (all of which are designated by Michein as EV Ready), I will probably move to a cheaper tire mfgr whose tires are grippier and not as LOUD and save the money.

Great tire

I no longer engage in terribly spirited driving (its been 25 years since racing school), but I still appreciate a superior sticky tire. I have also gained a fondness for a quiet , smooth ride, which you normally don't expect with a performance tire. I was therefore pleasantly surprised at how much these tires delivered all these qualities with so few of the usual compromises. For my purposes, this was an excellent choice, with much more grip than the OEM tires, and equal smoothness and very little more road noise. Unless you think you want a super stickey tire ( and are willing to pay the price in dollars and discomfort), I recommend the A/S 4. It looks like the new standard for an all season performance tire.

Great tires and would buy again!

I bought these tires to replace the Pirelli's on my Ford Explorer ST and they make the drive to Montana (over 1,000 miles one way) very pleasant! We drive multiple times from California to Montana a few times a year and absolutely love these tires. I'll definitely buy these again when they need to be replaced.

Second Set of 4 - Great Tires!

I've got a 2009 Jaguar XKR Portfolio Convertible with 69k miles. This is my third set of tires. My first were Yokohama's....not a bad tire but in my opinion, they don't compare with the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. I'm on my second full set of 4 Pilot Sports. When these wear out, I'll buy another! They handle extremely well, the ride is wonderful and they lasted about 45,000 before needing to replace. I'd absolutely recommend these for your sports car!

Delaminates- beware!

Delaminates and must be replaced before tread life. I have had 3 sets of AS3, then AS4's and ALL have delaminated in the front just where the tread meets the sidewall. I use my Corvette Grand Sport for performance driving, but these tires are rated f.or high performance. I currently have less then 4,000 miles on my tires and the fronts need replacing

Hooo Doggies them is good tires

Mounted these tires on my Mazda 3 GT in May of 2021. Got about 7,000 on them now and I have been well pleased with their performance. Seems I chicken out before these things reach their limit as I have yet to have them squawk back to me during sever cornering, severe stopping, severe acceleration, ( well it's a four banger should just call it snappy acceleration).The performance is just outstanding in all conditions. I would like to find some fault with them but I have nothing to complain about. Good job big ol squeezy Michelin Man.

High performance tires supercar certified

The specs and real performance of these tires are incredible. 255/35R21/XL 98W Front - 275/35R21/XL 103W Rear. I know My Tesla MYP can outperform 97% of the vehicles on the road. The car can do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Most likely your non-Tesla car cannot. I put it to the test on my daily 55 mile commute. The tires have a lot to do with this. The heavy EV and high speed rating are brilliant technology. Fully confident all weather rain/sleet /snow/ice at very high speeds. Hey Michelin Bring back Premium Touch.. love it

CRAP-tastic fuel efficiency

2015 Mazda3 sTouring I have about 1000 miles on these, and was absolutely floored when I looked over the difference in fuel efficiency compared to the OEM tires. There is a drop of almost 20%! I checked the tire pressure with multiple gauges (2x analog, 1x digital), so they're not under inflated. The warehouse also inflated them with nitrogen if that makes a difference. I'm doing mostly highway commuting, so the nuances of 'better' handling may be lost on me, but they do feel like when I put my snows on- kind of mushy - on the road. After I get home (about 20 miles), the tires are very warm to the touch, even when it's raining. Don't know what they'll feel like in the summer. The warmth does make sense, if these tires have such a high rolling resistance, the energy is spent as heat. As a commute car, there really does not seem to be any difference in handling wet or dry pavement. There doesn't feel like any benefit to braking, and possibly a decrease in ability to accelerate. I am really disappointed in these tires so far. After reading all the positive reviews, I really wonder if anyone considers fuel efficiency. Maybe wearing these down to the support layers will improve fuel performance, but I'm not holding my breath for that.

reply from Consumer Care

Thank you for providing your feedback in regard to your experience with Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires. New tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires. As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases. Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.
