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.

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.

What a perfect pairing for my older QX50. We've had a rainy December in San Francisco. I usually drive my Jeep. However since installing these Pilot AS4 my old Infiniti 3.7 AWD thinks she is a sports car. My favorite feature other than the handling is wet roads and deep water at 70mph plus there is not a single hint of Hydroplaning. The wheel doesn't so much as tug. I'm talking puddles on I-580 that span 4 lanes of road. Other than a quick flick of the wiper blades; there isn't even a perception you just hit a puddle. Dry cornering at the limit at least on my Infiniti, with the driver assist off and foot on the gas hard, she drifts predictably giving lots of warning. These tires test your driving skills, not the other way around. If you are driving AWD and have 300+ HP I cannot recommend these tires more highly.

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

Why dont they make this in a 225/50/18 I just got a 2017 subaru legacy 3.6R Limited and they made the pilot sport a/s 3's in that size in a W speed rating, I'm looking for new tires to improve the ride and handling and everything about my car, but why should I go with a michelin if I have to settle for the old technology in the a/s 3? The a/s 4 is the newer successor with more and better technology, I got a subaru with all wheel drive so I can run a sportier tire all year long with my geographic area with occasional snow, I might just have to settle for an all season tire without a sport focus, which I dont want to do, I want an all season with a sport focus, but why should I go with an a/s 3 when there is a newer tire in the a/s 4? The answer to that is because unfortunately the a/s 4 is not available in my size, and I don't want to go with a nonfactory size either, troubling matter for a loyal michelin fan like myself, just wondering if their are plans at all to bring the a/s 4 to the market in more sizes at all? If so, i'd be interested in possibly getting some, have not actually bought the product, my ratings are just based off of my experience with michelin products in general, which have been pretty good, really honestly interested in either the cross climate 2 in the 225/50/18 in a v speed rating or higher or the a/s 4 in a w speed rating or higher, I have no use for the cross climate suv tire in my size which is designed with too high of a load rating for my sedan which would ultimately only result in an unnecessarily harsh ride since my vehicle is somewhat lighter weight, not much tire support for my vehicle in this size from michelin unfortunately, at least no tire support in the tire models that I want :(

Using these on california roads that are chewed up and spit out and they work great. No issues with it wobbling or moving or tracking wrong. Loving life with these. If I had worn struts, shocks, or bushings I would probably have issues on rough roads like other reviewer said. But probably just their car having suspension issues, no way it could be these tires Uneven cut up pavement, rough pavement, patchy road, cut up road, and partial gravel. All no issues so far, two weeks in. Cant wait for winter!

I just replaced Continental run-flat tires with the Pilot Sport All Season 4 (non run-flats). It is made a massive difference. The tires ride smoothly, steer precisely, braking is improved, and wet performance is so much better and confidence inspiring. A great combination of both sport and luxury. As to a number of comments about the tires being noisy, they really aren't any noisier than competitive tires or the tires predecessor, the A's 3+. I think it's just that the tone of the noises a little bit higher pitched and therefore more noticeable to some people. On the other hand, I noticed that there is no noise difference when driving on asphalt and concrete, which is unusual because most tires tend to be louder on concrete. Not so with these tires.

I am hesitant to give a 5 star, because these tires on my Miata, seem to lack smooth steering. For example, when you just slightly turn the wheel, it jumps like it had difficulty going over its own tread?????, then when you turn back slightly it sticks and jumps. Very subtle, different then the OEM tires that were on the vehicle. Wish I really knew what was going on. Air pressure is what is on door jam. I may vary tire pressure and test.

I bought 4 tire from American tire, Mr Alec recommend this tires I was so happy that I choose this tires far better than the original Tesla Model 3 tire is a 10% noisey than the original O.E.M tire. Overall is a excellent product. I would buy this tires again in the future.

Randomly worn in a section of the tire between the centre and outside edge of the tire. Only had them on my X5 for 25,000 km Always been a fan of Michelin but this is the last set I buy. I don’t even want to attempt a warranty claim because they still aren’t worth it.
