Harsh Ride like a Run Flat - Cannot balance Smooth

BMW M235 My previous tires were Pilot Super Sports which I found to be fabulous in traction, ride and response. But, living in the snow belt, the lower temperature season can really shorten the time I have them on the car. So when I needed a replacement I thought why not go with the AS4 , maybe loose a little performance but enjoy a longer time with no snow tires on. I've now driven about 600 miles with them. I find them as harsh and uncomfortable as the RFTs that were OE on the vehicle. Jarring really even on the softest suspension setting. Further my dealer could not balance them for a smooth ride after 3 tries on the Hunter Road Force. I will say that after the break in, they had good traction in dry and wet. Never got to snow. I'm calling uncle and swapping them out for another brand.

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.

Don't balance, poor quality.

Terrible quality control. Michelin supplied 2 additional replacement sets and all 3 sets produced a vibration. Tires seen bouncing on the balancer and unacceptably high road force. 26lbs is WAY too much tolerance!!! 10 lbs is felt on low profile tires. No longer a market leader in quality.

Beaming.Love them

Pilot sport All Season..absolutely love them Although I have low mileage on my vehicle I wanted to replace the run flat tires with the Michelins. I have had Michelin in the past so I was excited to see this tire. best decision. Ride is smooth, quiet love how they are performing. I will be driving a lot more now and I’m sure the grandkids will enjoy the rides more too.

Amazing control

I bought a set of pilot sport AS4 to put on my car and I absolutely love them the amount of control and response difference compared to the stock tires was unbelievable and as far as grip goes I have a hard time breaking loose when I try to do it on purpose

Excellent all-season performance tire

After 22 months & 17k miles: Exceptional high speed handling and control. Extraordinary protection from hydroplaning. Excellent snow and ice performance for a non-snow/ice tire. It takes real work to break traction, even with traction-control disabled during wet weather. Do NOT confuse the Pilot Sport AS4 (High-Performance All-Season M+S rated - 45k warranty) for the Pilot Sport 4S (HP soft compound Summer "only" tire - 30k). Several of the negative reviews on here clearly suffer this confusion over the 4S.

Easy Ridin’

These tires are a huge upgrade for me. Comfort, handling and traction are all greatly improved. It’s the one repair I’ve made to my car that I can feel an immediate difference with. They seem durable so far, only been a week and two days, but I have noticed they aren’t all that quiet. That could be do to the materials used to build my vehicle too though.

Magical tire

I just got a set of All Season 4s after running the previous set since 2020. Before replacing them, I took the old set to the track, and even below 2/32" tread depth, they provided remarkable grip and performance.​ The new tires feel outstanding. They're somewhat quieter— even though I never noticed that the previous set became slightly noisier as they wore, it was never intrusive. These tires inspire confidence, offering exceptional grip during spirited drives while maintaining comfort and quietness on long highway trips.​ Driving a vehicle designed for both performance and comfort, it's impressive to have a tire that doesn't compromise on either aspect. The Pilot Sport All Season 4 truly delivers on both fronts!

Great handling & ride

Upsized to 18" wheels & ride is even a bit softer than the AS3's on the 17" wheels. Steering at low speed is a bit heavy with the larger contact patch than the OE 215's. Good grip cold, much better when warm. Side wall flex is a big improvement in cornering.

Very Good A/S tire, expect less tread life than Warranty states

I bought mine for an Audi A6 3.0T Quattro when the car had 52k miles on it. Absolutely loved how they handle on wet and dry roads. However, super disappointed with tread life. I have 81K on them now and one tire is almost completely bald, and the others might have 2/3K left until they look similar. Not an alignment issue either as they were rotated and tread is worn evenly. We swear by Michelin tires, and love the Defenders on our Yukon, which is why I’m being fair with 4 stars. But I will probably consider something else to replace these Pilots for this particular vehicle.
