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.

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.

SUPERB TIRES. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

I bought these today 1/25/21 at 12pm and drove for approximately 100 miles and boy let me tell you. I came from Pirelli scorpion run flat tires and it is a night and day difference. These Michelin’s are on the money. What a smooth floaty drive on my 17’ X5 MSPORT. These tires are very sticky as I hear them when I roll down the windows. Very responsive steering improvement from runflats. These tires are everything. I feel much safer having my family in the car. Thank you Michelin.

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.

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.

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.

All Good

Things i heard about Michilin tires from tire guys who have handled all different types, said that Michilin has the best overall highest quality and attention to detail. I have only owned my new set of tires for about a week, but they are perfect. Grips amazing, super quiet, smooth, feel sturdy and safe. 2008 Ford Fusion. Not real powerful, but if you keep your gas and oils clean and new theyll run for quite a while. Amsoil in engine, tranny, ps, and coolant. Runs like butter. Mazda 6 frame and suspension, so handles righteously.

The Perfect All Season Performance Road Tire

Replaced the old Stock Pilot Super Sports on my ‘19 Z06 Convert with a fresh set of Pilot Sport A/S 4’s. Absolutely love them. Pilot Sport A/S 4’s are rated for hot and cold ambients, dry, rain, and even snow. The perfect tire for northern state roads and highways. The Ackerman effect with tight turns, hydroplaning on rainy roads and pebble showers on the bottom of the car common with Pilot Super Sports is gone. The A/S 4’a are definitely quieter than the Pilot Super Sports. The A/S 4’s may have a bit less traction on hot dry track days but I’ll never miss it. I’d much rather have the extended driving season with the A/S 4’s . Thank you Michelin!

Jack of all trades!?

I have purchased two separate sets of All Season 4 Tires for two of my higher performance vehicles. Being Audi's they are AWD and quite heavy, these cars are known for understeer and when pushed hard you can feel the car push. Softer walled tires really feel floaty on the road in aggressive driving. Not only do these tires perform exceptionally well in regards to grip (accelerating and decelerating) their lateral grip is most impressive. These tires allow my cars to handle like they are on rails, regardless of the temperature. Being AA for traction and A for temperature they do exceptionally well when dedicated summer tires become hard and dangerous.

Great Next Generation!

Big fan of Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3+. Have them on two family cars. Just installed the new Pilot Sport AS 4 on my daughter's 2020 Honda Civic LX. Replaced the OE tires. It's a entirely different driving experience. Love these tires. Fantastic Product
