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.

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.

Fantastic all-around tire

Excellent tire. The compound is sticky and aggressive while still offering good traction in cold weather. The tires appear to be well made with a very still XL-rated sidewall. Handling is extremely precise and predictable with perfectly controlled behavior when approaching the limits of cornering grip. The tires are very comfortable and pretty quiet for a performance A/S tire. While I cannot comment on tread life or highway stability just yet, no doubt those will meet expectations as well.

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.

Excellent Overall Tire for Mercedes S-Class

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 installed on my 2016 Mercedes S550 4Matic with staggered 19" AMG wheels. My initial impression was that the steering and braking felt more responsive with the Michelin compared to the competitor brand they replaced, but the ride wasn't as quiet or as smooth as I expected from a Michelin on an S-Class. The next morning, I leveled out the air pressure in all 4 tires to my preferred PSI which restored the comfort level. After a few weeks and many heat cycles, there is no longer any noticeable noise. More importantly the tire provides an insane amount of grip on dry and wet roads. The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 paired with all wheel drive inspires confidence and encouragement for those of us who enjoy spirited driving.

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!!!!

Overpriced Underperforming Product

Absolutely disappointing product and quality . Bought a car that came with these underperforming overpriced tires that were installed at 12,500 miles on an audi s5 at just 22,500 miles 2 of these tires blew up on me on the road as i was driving 35mph and the other 2 they're already down to about 5/32 thread life i hear these are warranted until 45k miles but ill be lucky to get 7k miles out of the two that are left honestly will never be purchasing from this brand as they like to mark up their prices based on their brand prestige but they really fall short of what they are giving their customers. I would honestly recommend to people considering buying this tire to go with a cheaper alternative like a yokohama or continental as they arent perfect either but atleast you wont break your wallet by overpaying for a tire that can easily explode and wear out like the michellin ps4 ‘s . Never again will i use Michelin products not even for free i honestly don't see the justification for the price of this tire especially since lots of customers constantly report that these

Michelin - Go To Tires

We put these tires on our BMW 328i not long after we purchased the car to replace the awful run-flats. It was an amazing difference in ride and noise level. Our 2020 Honda Accord 2.0 Touring was purchased from a friend in 2022 that had the standard 19 inch wheels. They may be great for performance but they rode like a wagon and were prone to curb rash. We're pretty conservative drivers. Based on our BMW experience, we switched to 17 inch wheels (which seems to be fairly common) and also purchased the Pilot Sport tires for the Honda. The ride quality improved drastically for the better.
