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.

Outstanding ride and comfort

Michelin pilot sport as 4, tires are amazing. Extremely smooth ride, quiet tire. Very happy. Went with 255/40/17 on front 285/35/18 rear since the OE 265/40/17 front and 295/35/18 was not available. Fits perfectly on factory c5 zo6 wheels. 100% satisfied!

look for better, avoid these trash tires.

not a durable tire. 2765 miles on developed a sidewall bubble that meant the entire tire needed to be replaced after michellin attempted to bland road hazard instead of manufact defect and during mechanics showed steal not intact and bubble was close to catastrophic bursting that may have lead to loss of control or accident. not readily available to be replaced been waiting 2 weeks. mechanics verified no road savage curb damage or accident or rim or tire cabbage to support anything but manufacturers defect with less than 0.1 mm tread used. look for better tires.

Hard Noisy Ride

I was not told or read anything about this tire for my Corvette Grand Sport being a run flat tire. I found out from the dealer a few days after having the tires installed when I returned to have to lug nuts checked for exact tightness. The tire is very noisy and a hard ride.

Good all-around tire

These are excellent "all-around" tires that provide reasonable traction in rain/snow/ice, allowing me to go through up to 6 inches of snow this winter without difficulty. This is surprising, given that my Cadillac CTS4 Performance Coupe is quite low, and has staggered tire sizes. The rear "steamrollers" should NOT do well in the snow, but yours do. On dry pavement, the ride is as smooth as can be expected in a low-profile tire, and handling is quite good. It is not as good as a dedicated, high-performance summer tire but, again, it is a great compromise.

Like a great pair of shoes.

There is a reason OEMs choose Michelin. The Tesla model S must have smooth, quiet tires that absorb various road imperfections and maintain good handling characteristics. Road noise is a big concern when driving a vehicle that has no drivetrain noise.

Perplexed

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.

Lexus LS460 Ribber

Bought these tires for my "New to Me" 2012 Lexus LS460. Ride improved greatly. These tires are also very quiet. While my car isn't a sports car, it does have a top speed of 150+, so I needed a "Z" speed rating. While it doesn't like to be pushed, the grip does feel more stable. Over all highly impressed with these tires.

Horrible!!!

These are by far the worst “all season” tires I have ever had. In 1 years time I have needed to plug or patch all 4 tires, including plugging 1 tire twice. They grip the road great, but the problem with that is that they grip every nail and other pieces of debris what seems like 100% of the time. I say other debris because one of the plugs I needed to apply was because of a relatively sharp piece of plastic, and another was because of a broken VW emblem that I ran over. All other incidents were because of 2 drywall nails (tiny) and 1 normal screw that I would expect to puncture any tire. My driving habits have not changed and I do not live near any new construction locations. I have never experienced a more sensitive tire, and I am 37 and have driven foreign cars with ridiculous speculation tires for much of my adult life. Stick with the other trusted brands. These are performance tires, and if you are looking for tires to use on a track, then maybe these are the ones for you. If you plan on using them for everyday driving then I caution you to stay away!!!!

Best all-season tire for performance cars

Very durable tire with great handling and responsiveness in all weather. I have put these tires on multiple vehicles that I have owned (Toyota Camry, BMW X6, Audi A6, Lexus GS300) over the years and they've exceeded the 45K warranty every time. They have excellent traction especially is wet weather conditions greatly minimizing hydroplaning instances.
