Mind blowing

Had continental DWS-06 on my wrx and switched to Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. Didn’t expect much and boy was I wrong! On ramps and corners are like being on rails! I literally can go so much faster around corners and no give, no noise, these tires never miss a beat! These are better than the Pilot Super Sport that I have on my BMW, and these are suitable for year round performance. I was considering several options and brands, but in the end I relied on my past experiences with Michelin and went with these. So glad I did, I’m never looking back. Love the look of these and love how they perform. Now I can see why they’re OE on the C8 vette amazing product Michelin, thanks for living up to your reputation (again!)

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.

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.

Outstanding Tires!

I've never written a tire review in my life. I can't help but write something about these tires. I previously had another all-season tire from a certain company with a blimp and the difference between these Pilot AS4s and those are shocking. Smooth as silk ride, whisper-quiet, and traction that is amazing on my heavily tuned Audi 4.0T car!

Already Bought for 2 car

I bought the tires early March so far so good. I've had 2 days with light snow, 1 week of rain and a few mild days. No complains. Just bought a second set for another car + Pros: Grip, Stability, Braking, Cornering, Tread Design, Quiet, Steering Response, Visually Appealing, Comfortable,

Great Tires

I've had my tires for about 9 months now and they're awesome!! My previous set of tires were the Continental Extremecontact DWS06. If I were to compare the two, in terms of performance and comfort, the Pilot Sport A/S 4 has been quite a bit better in the dry and wet weather...gas mileage is approximately the same for both tires. I haven't had the opportunity to drive in the snow so I don't know which tires are better. But in terms of treadwear, I would give a slight edge to the Continentals.

The 'Almost' Legend Continues

I first owned the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3, then my tires wore down, so went to the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+. Now I'm currently using the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. From my very early and initial impression (under 50 miles), these tires are the best of the group thus far. I found the AS3 and AS3+ were almost identical in tread pattern, driving, comfort with a slightly higher noise level. The AS4 feels like a significant upgrade. Firstly its an entirely new tread pattern from the past 2 models. A variation of sipe thickness and patterns. It looks like it will grip better. Briefly driving on both dry and wet roads, highway and city, it delivered nicely. It already felt great with the AS3 and AS3+, so I'd expect the same with some refinement. Personally, where I really found an improvement is the noise and comfort level. This is deemed an ultra-high performance tire. Its sporty, athletic and low profile. The handing is expected to be superb and usually the tradeoff is comfort and noise. I don't know how Michelin did it, but I've found the noise level lower and the comfort level higher. It rides much more smooth and soft with less tire noise than the AS3+. My car handles even better and I feel confident with my rear wheel ride. The only concern I have is longevity and durability. Both AS3 and AS3+ were sticky tires, so they wore down quicker and sustained nail damage. I'm expecting the same with the AS4 as I believe the tire compound is the same or similar to the previous 2 models. Plus in the end, compromises are always a result of changes. I hope I'm wrong, but time will tell. Its already a superior tire and I've had a nice history of use. Michelin, if you could make a tire with added durability (less chance of nail, staple, debris causing tire damage), you'll have a true legend! In the meantime, well done on the AS4.

Hmm??

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 :(

Love it!!

Bought these tires about a year ago and have no complaints at all!! They’re much grippier than my old tires and are whisper quiet. Unfortunately, my MPG has taken a slight hit, but that’s a small price to pay for much more confident braking and handling.

hybridman48, thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. We appreciate you!<br />New tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires.  As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases.  Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.

High performance tires supercar certified

The specs and real performance of these tires are incredible. 255/35R21/XL 98W Front - 275/35R21/XL 103W Rear. I know My Tesla MYP can outperform 97% of the vehicles on the road. The car can do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Most likely your non-Tesla car cannot. I put it to the test on my daily 55 mile commute. The tires have a lot to do with this. The heavy EV and high speed rating are brilliant technology. Fully confident all weather rain/sleet /snow/ice at very high speeds. Hey Michelin Bring back Premium Touch.. love it
