Michelin Fails To Live Up To Its Reputation

I brought my 2007 Mercedes Benz CLK 350 in for service inspection as the "brake pad wear" light came on recently. During the inspection, I was informed that the rear tires on the vehicle needed to be replaced. All four of the tires on the vehicle are Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4 B 225/45ZR17 94Y XL Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4 B 245/40ZR17 95Y XL Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4 B I was shocked by the news that these Michelin tires needed to be replaced, given that the vehicle is driven less than 4,000 miles a year, and the vehicle is almost never driven on the freeway, and is rarely driven above 35 mph on surface streets. I have now confirmed that these Michelin tires were installed by Big O Tires on December 7, 2020, at which time the mileage on the vehicle was 90,415. The December 7, 2020 invoice from Big O Tires states that these tires come with a warranty ("Minimum Mileage Warranty: MFG45"). This past week, on Monday, May 12, 2025, the odometer mileage was recorded as 105,606. Assuming these odometer readings are accurate (which they appear to be), this means the vehicle has been driven a total of only 15,191 miles in the 53 months since these Michelin tires were both recommended and installed on the vehicle in December, 2020. This is under 3,500 miles per year. I have never heard of tires lasting only 15,000 miles, and I certainly did not expect this of a supposed "quality tire" bearing the Michelin brand. Honestly, I thought that I was buying the best possible tires for this vehicle - and, in any event, these were the tires that were recommended by Big O Tires. During my second trip to Big O Tires on Monday, May 12, 2025, I asked about whether these tires came with a warranty, or whether the dealership (Big O Tires) or the manufacturer (Michelin) would stand behind the tires and admit the obvious - that these tires are not supposed to wear out within 15,000 miles of ordinary driving. In my discussions with Big O Tires on Monday, May 12, 2025, I was given the clear impression that there was nothing that could be done for me at the dealership (Big O Tires), and that I was free to take the matter up with the manufacturer (Michelin). This seems strange to me, since these tires were recommended and installed under a warranty by the dealership (Big O Tires), and it is the dealership that promotes the Michelin tire brand. I have now done some basic research on the internet, and it seems that many other customers have complained about these tires wearing out prematurely. The loudest complaints seem to be from customers who likewise cannot believe that Michelin tires would last as little as 15,000 miles. Conclusion The more I consider what has transpired, it is unlikely that I would rely on Big O Tires or the Michelin brand in the future, or recommend them to others.

They don't last

Great tires but they don't last. I'm at 46000km and they are down to the wear bars and not even three years old. Like I said, no other issues except for tread life. I would give it five stars if lasted 80000km or even 70000km . Driven on a Lincoln MKX with no aggressive driving.

Very good all season performance tire

Came on new 24 Porsche Panamera 4. Total of 4,600 miles to date. Great handling and good in the rain. Works well on light snow too. Tires are different size front and rear so cannot rotate. Time will tell how long these will last. I would be happy to get 30k miles.

Great performance and treadwear, but loud….

These tires lasted me 57,000 miles on my Tesla Model 3 RWD. Would probably last another 2500 miles but changing before rainy season in california. Tires are very grippy in rain and dry, but the noise and drone of tires is a bit excessive. Overall I love the performance, safety and longevity of the tire so decided to get a second pair.

Another Winner

I’ve previously owned the AS3 and AS3+. These new AS4 are noticeable better. It handles and grips just as good as previous models. The improvement is in the noise and comfort level. Noise being more muted, meaning in a more comfortable ride. It’s an early assessment but hope the durability and longevity will be impressive. We will see.

Great tires

I ordered new wheels for a Mercedes Metris van but the supplier noticed they were slightly damaged before shipping them. I ended up selecting a slightly wider wheel and noticed the Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires were available for this wider wheel. I bought them since I’ve run through a few sets on the Porsche and they were excellent. Now, do I need tires speed rated at 186 mph on a van - no - but for just a little more than a lesser tire I picked up some tires I feel confident with, especially with passengers. Ok, it’s overkill but they looking freaking great!

Great Tires

I've had my tires for about 9 months now and they're awesome!! My previous set of tires were the Continental Extremecontact DWS06. If I were to compare the two, in terms of performance and comfort, the Pilot Sport A/S 4 has been quite a bit better in the dry and wet weather...gas mileage is approximately the same for both tires. I haven't had the opportunity to drive in the snow so I don't know which tires are better. But in terms of treadwear, I would give a slight edge to the Continentals.

Track-level grip for Daily Drivers

Had to replace the tires on my 2018 Civic Sport and I can’t believe the difference. I previously had some “high-performance” Falken tires that weren’t bad but after a couple days with the Michelin Sport A/S 4s I finally understand. This is the first Michelin performance tire I have ever driven on and my car is a completely different machine on these tires. The level of grip is superior to any tire I have ever had, even in the rain. My car feels like it is floating until I cut the wheel and suddenly it becomes glued to the blacktop. I am a very aggressive driver and understand the value of having tires you can trust on your car and I love these tires!!!

Excellent Overall Tire for Mercedes S-Class

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 installed on my 2016 Mercedes S550 4Matic with staggered 19" AMG wheels. My initial impression was that the steering and braking felt more responsive with the Michelin compared to the competitor brand they replaced, but the ride wasn't as quiet or as smooth as I expected from a Michelin on an S-Class. The next morning, I leveled out the air pressure in all 4 tires to my preferred PSI which restored the comfort level. After a few weeks and many heat cycles, there is no longer any noticeable noise. More importantly the tire provides an insane amount of grip on dry and wet roads. The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 paired with all wheel drive inspires confidence and encouragement for those of us who enjoy spirited driving.

SUPERB TIRES. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

I bought these today 1/25/21 at 12pm and drove for approximately 100 miles and boy let me tell you. I came from Pirelli scorpion run flat tires and it is a night and day difference. These Michelin’s are on the money. What a smooth floaty drive on my 17’ X5 MSPORT. These tires are very sticky as I hear them when I roll down the windows. Very responsive steering improvement from runflats. These tires are everything. I feel much safer having my family in the car. Thank you Michelin.
