Great ultra high performance tire

2009 pontiac g8 gt this is my 4th set of pilot sport a/s3 plus and it's a great tire it's on the edge of calling its self a all season tire by the winter it starts to crack from the extreme cold I believe and the tread life is horrible I do less than 12k a year and I only get 2 years out of them but I am a aggressive driver. Traction is great you can really push the car hard and still be comfortable at the limit even in cold weather rain the sidewall is really stiff its great for control but makes it a little ruff over bumps I have tried other tires in the same category or looked into a higher mileage tread life tire but always come back to the pilot a/s3 plus

Replacing Pilot HX MXM4 (comparison=Noisy,Wet=Better)

I replaced my Pilot HX MXM4 93V XL, which i had for 11 years for off winter use. New Sport All Season 4 are much better on wet surface, but the noise level when driving 50-80 km/hr is quite loud...louder than the Pilot HX MXM4's, and louder than my winter tires. So I plan to keep them on this winter and will report back how well "All Season" means.

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.

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.

INCREDIBLE!!

I am blown away by my new AS4s!!! I have a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS. I drive spiritedly and daily drive my car. I came off of Toyo Extensa hp2s and let me just give it to Michelin.There is NO comparison. I have driven only 400miles on them but the All Season 4 is one great tire! They feel so smooth on the road and highway. I feel the grip and superb steering response driving compared to what I was driving on before. Road noise is minimal and actually very quiet from what I was used to. I am now a Michelin customer for life! Thank you Michelin for developing the best all season tire I have ever driven on.

Very Poor Tread Life:(

I Purchased Top of the Line Tires $$$ Expecting Top Performance & Quality. (You Get What You Pay For) As For the Performance I WAS Very Happy with the Stopping, Road Handling (in all weather conditions) & over all Smooth Quiet Ride. HOWEVER… As far as the Quality…. Very Poor Tread Life 3 Years and only 13,000 Miles later and I ALREADY NEED NEW TIRES!! Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!

Disappointing Longevity and Performance from Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

I recently purchased a Tesla model Y equipped with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport All Season tires, compelled by the brand's reputation and the specific design tailored for electric vehicles. Given the premium price tag, my expectations were understandably high, both in terms of performance and durability. Unfortunately, my experience has fallen short in several key areas, most notably in the longevity of the tires, which has left me questioning their value. First off, Michelin claims these tires are engineered to meet the unique demands of electric vehicles, promising enhanced traction, efficiency, and a quieter ride. While the initial performance was satisfactory, providing a decent grip and a somewhat quieter experience, the tires quickly showed signs of wear far sooner than anticipated. The manufacturer advertises a certain mileage expectancy for these tires, but my set began to show significant wear well before reaching even 50% of the promised mileage. This was under normal driving conditions, without excessive hard braking or aggressive cornering that might otherwise justify such rapid wear. What's more frustrating is that when you invest in a Michelin product, especially something as specialized as the Pilot Sport EV tires, you expect durability that matches the premium outlay. Unfortunately, this has not been the case. It's disheartening to see a product from a brand as reputable as Michelin fail to live up to its mileage claim, which is a fundamental expectation for any tire purchase.

FEW VEHICLE NAMES!

Too many reports not indicating what vehicle the tires are mounted on! What good is such info? I have a new set of 245/4018 going on our 2019 RS 3, which has run 16,698 fast back roads out of a total 23,192 on current Michelin A/S3+ with no issues at all. Will report on the Pilot Sport 4S after some mileage is run at speed.

Less Road Noise. Good handling and comfort. Very happy.

I just purchased a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 for a 2020 WRX Sport-tech RS. Replacement for the OEM Dunlop SP Sport Maxx RT which wore out prematurely (~30 000 km). I immediately noticed much less road noise with the Pilot Sport 4 compared to the Dunlop tirs. My wife even commented: "It's quiet now, like a normal car". So far noticeably more comfortable on rough roads with good handling. Hopefully, the Michelin tires are more durable. Will see how

Phenomenal Tire technology

Had these on my Golf R AWD for a few month now and with the recent 4" dump of snow I have had the chance to drive these in all conditions. Performance has been outstanding, great dry and wet control, excellent braking and these got me out of my steep driveway where the OEM's left me stuck. Highly recommend these for all season sports car applications as they don't compromise performance.
