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

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 features

Great tire. Extremely predictable and high levels of grip both wet or dry. Very quite on the edge of it's grip. Tread life is also amazing. Other tires don't last as long. I drive hard and I don't do silly things like smoking the tire or donuts in the intersection. No sure if it is a thoughtful engineering thing but I like how you can always tell it is time to change the tires when the ride gets rough and noisy. Even my wife who doesn't pay attention to these things notice it but I don't tell why it is so noisy and she can feel how rough the road is. The crazy thing is the grip is still there. Well as long as there is yread but I am still careful in the rain because the tread depth is there so I make sure I have room to correct.

Best All Season Sport Tire money can buy.

I bought this set of tire about a year ago and can say they are the best All Season Sport tire on the market. The tires were purchased for my 2021 Roush Stage 3 Mustang which has 760 HP, 670 Ft. Lbs. TQ. The car can push any tire to its limits but the Pilot Sport A/S 4 handles the power in a very linear fashion. Yes, a Pilot Summer only tire would stick to the road better if I ran it on the track but that is not going to happen. For my very spirited driving I have found the Pilot A/S Sport 4 tire handle the twisting back mountain roads with ease. I highly recommend these tires for anyone who wants the best of All Season and Track only tires in one set of tires. Unless you plan on putting your car on a drag strip or the big oval this is all the tire you will ever need.

Met Every Expectation

I purchased these tires so that I could drive my Vette so I wouldn't be worried about late season mountain drives. I have just over 2,000 miles on them and couldn't be more satisfied. The ride is great, the handling seems to be better and there's virtualy no road noise.

Great Features - Tire Wear is Suspect

These handle really well and helped me out a lot with the big rain we get in Florida. Unfortunately, 2 tires are down to 3 and 2/32nds. 2 Tires are down to 4.5/32nds. I have about 20k miles on the tires and drive on the highway mostly. Florida roads can be pretty rough since they get baked, so I imagine this is a leading cause. I'm hoping to get some warranty on the 2 tires that are near the end.

The Goldilocks Tire

I live in NJ and put these on my car in October. Debated getting winter tires but wasn't sure if I needed something that extreme. Replaced the stock pilot sport 4S (also a great tire) to get ready for cold, wet, and sometimes snowy roads here in northern NJ. Have 3500 miles on them currently and couldn't be happier. Very confidence inspiring tires in the extreme cold and wet or dusting of snow and are capable in a few inches of snow on the road. MPG is down 1-2 miles and I haven't noticed the road noise that some people mention. Very happy so far.

Lots of Road Noise

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.

Very Poor Tread Life!

I purchased Top of The Line Tires $$$ Expecting Top Quality & Performance. (You Get What You Pay For) As for the performance I WAS very happy with the stopping, road handling (in all weather conditions) & an over all smooth quiet ride. However the Quality / Tread Life is absolutely horrible! 3 years and only 13,000 miles later and I NEED NEW TIRES ALREADY!!! Completely UNACCEPTABLE!

daisyraven13, remember, there is a mileage warranty on the Pilot Sport All Season4. The first step is to have the tires inspected by an authorized retailer (preferably the selling retailer). Have them contact us with their findings.

Flat spotting every morning

I bought these tires 5 days ago and they flat spot overnight. I've never had a tire do this to me in my life. I had high expectations for these as i have always wanted Michelins. The issue goes away when the tires warm up but the colder it gets the issue doesn't seem to go away once it warms up.
