I purchased a set of pilot sport all season 4 plus 285/45 r20 y 112. I noticed that the tread design on the left of the car is pointed in an upward tread direction (^) and the right side is in the downward direction (v). All four tires say "outside" on tire wall. I have never seen a tire that has opposite directional patterns from right side of vehicle to left side of vehicle. Please shed some light on this and/or let me know if I should return to the shop that sold this set to me. All this being said, tires show exceptional grip and road confidence in dry conditions.

Was looking for a new set of tires for my car recently. I had a set Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and was going to have more installed but the guy at the tire shop said they had the new Pilot Sport A/S 4 and asked if I wanted those instead. He told me they were the newest latest tire so I figured why not. Immediately I noticed a lot more road noise... I mean a lot more. The A/S 3+ was quiet and smooth all around. The 4 is a tougher ride and a lot louder. Not instantly pleased with this purchase. I hope they handle well in the rain and snow—otherwise I’ll have to chalk this purchase up as a negative one and will be looking for something else in the near future.

I have been a Michelin owner for more than 40 years and have only had 2 issues in all that time. One was a bent suspension arm that tore 2 tires to shreds. The other was a 3 inch spike that blew a tire, neither of these were Michelin issues and have trusted the brand forever.

Using these on california roads that are chewed up and spit out and they work great. No issues with it wobbling or moving or tracking wrong. Loving life with these. If I had worn struts, shocks, or bushings I would probably have issues on rough roads like other reviewer said. But probably just their car having suspension issues, no way it could be these tires Uneven cut up pavement, rough pavement, patchy road, cut up road, and partial gravel. All no issues so far, two weeks in. Cant wait for winter!

What a perfect pairing for my older QX50. We've had a rainy December in San Francisco. I usually drive my Jeep. However since installing these Pilot AS4 my old Infiniti 3.7 AWD thinks she is a sports car. My favorite feature other than the handling is wet roads and deep water at 70mph plus there is not a single hint of Hydroplaning. The wheel doesn't so much as tug. I'm talking puddles on I-580 that span 4 lanes of road. Other than a quick flick of the wiper blades; there isn't even a perception you just hit a puddle. Dry cornering at the limit at least on my Infiniti, with the driver assist off and foot on the gas hard, she drifts predictably giving lots of warning. These tires test your driving skills, not the other way around. If you are driving AWD and have 300+ HP I cannot recommend these tires more highly.

I waited to purchase these All Season 4's because I previously had the All-Season 3+'s on my last vehicle. I wanted to try the newest version. The A/S 4 is incredible. It feels grippier and more progressive as it transitions in a slide. The grip level is incredible for an all-season tire. And they're very quiet - noticeably quieter than the A/S 3+. As an added bonus, the sidewall and tread of this tire is great looking. Little details like placing the tire warning's along the rim protector as opposed to on the sidewall and the "velvet-look" logos. I'd definitely buy these again and have recommended them quite often.

Bought these for my Mercedes S550 4matic at 80,000 miles Today at 104,000 am showing cords through 2 front tires Rotated less than a month ago and no mention of any issues. AS3 not 4 Seems like dramatic sudden failure for no apparent reason. Dealer tells me Michelin is not what they used to be as far as handling warranty issues and I will likely eat the full cost of a new set How come my rear tires did not show this wear since they had been on the front prior to this rotation?

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 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.

I have a 2020 Type R, factory tires are not meant to driven below 5C so I have to get a set of tires for the winter. There is not much snow in the winter where I live but it's always under 5C and raining. I tried driving on winter tires and all-weather tires available for my car and they both failed to meet my expectation for wet traction. Put these PSAS4 on for couple weeks and I am very happy them. They are definitely better than the Conti DWS06 on my BMW. I drive a "sport car" the way it's meant to be driven, should not have to compromise and drive slowly because it's cold IMHO. I will drive my SUV when it snows heavily.
