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.

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.

The 'Almost' Legend Continues

I first owned the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3, then my tires wore down, so went to the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+. Now I'm currently using the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. From my very early and initial impression (under 50 miles), these tires are the best of the group thus far. I found the AS3 and AS3+ were almost identical in tread pattern, driving, comfort with a slightly higher noise level. The AS4 feels like a significant upgrade. Firstly its an entirely new tread pattern from the past 2 models. A variation of sipe thickness and patterns. It looks like it will grip better. Briefly driving on both dry and wet roads, highway and city, it delivered nicely. It already felt great with the AS3 and AS3+, so I'd expect the same with some refinement. Personally, where I really found an improvement is the noise and comfort level. This is deemed an ultra-high performance tire. Its sporty, athletic and low profile. The handing is expected to be superb and usually the tradeoff is comfort and noise. I don't know how Michelin did it, but I've found the noise level lower and the comfort level higher. It rides much more smooth and soft with less tire noise than the AS3+. My car handles even better and I feel confident with my rear wheel ride. The only concern I have is longevity and durability. Both AS3 and AS3+ were sticky tires, so they wore down quicker and sustained nail damage. I'm expecting the same with the AS4 as I believe the tire compound is the same or similar to the previous 2 models. Plus in the end, compromises are always a result of changes. I hope I'm wrong, but time will tell. Its already a superior tire and I've had a nice history of use. Michelin, if you could make a tire with added durability (less chance of nail, staple, debris causing tire damage), you'll have a true legend! In the meantime, well done on the AS4.

All Good

Things i heard about Michilin tires from tire guys who have handled all different types, said that Michilin has the best overall highest quality and attention to detail. I have only owned my new set of tires for about a week, but they are perfect. Grips amazing, super quiet, smooth, feel sturdy and safe. 2008 Ford Fusion. Not real powerful, but if you keep your gas and oils clean and new theyll run for quite a while. Amsoil in engine, tranny, ps, and coolant. Runs like butter. Mazda 6 frame and suspension, so handles righteously.

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.

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.

Great looking tires. Very durable and agressive with amazing handling.

These tires have wonderful traction and great handling. They perform amazing on my Turbo charged vehicle. And really grip the road. They feel very durable. On a last note. I do find them very noisy on the highway at higher speeds. But they are a more agressive tread so it’s fine. I drive on multiple surfaces including dirt roads, gravel trails, pavement and ice and snow. I would highly recommend these tires.

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

Love it!!

Bought these tires about a year ago and have no complaints at all!! They’re much grippier than my old tires and are whisper quiet. Unfortunately, my MPG has taken a slight hit, but that’s a small price to pay for much more confident braking and handling.

hybridman48, thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. We appreciate you!<br />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.

Awesome tire

Just purchased one 275/40/18 tire for Mercedes Wow these tires are light weight ,softer rubber texture Very limited amount of road noise. These tires somehow makes me feel more secure driving in the rain because it Has like minimal slipping It gives you an straight ahead planted feeling while driving in the rain even above highway speeds (You generally shouldn’t do ) On dry roads it creates perfect grip , turns where I point the steering wheel My car is a 5,145 pound Mercedes s55 and the tires makes me feel confident and more in control. But like they say on reading rainbow ,don’t take my word for it, buy the tires for yourself ! And you’ll see what I’m talking about first hand
