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.

Beaming.Love them

Pilot sport All Season..absolutely love them Although I have low mileage on my vehicle I wanted to replace the run flat tires with the Michelins. I have had Michelin in the past so I was excited to see this tire. best decision. Ride is smooth, quiet love how they are performing. I will be driving a lot more now and I’m sure the grandkids will enjoy the rides more too.

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.

Excellent all-season performance tire

After 22 months & 17k miles: Exceptional high speed handling and control. Extraordinary protection from hydroplaning. Excellent snow and ice performance for a non-snow/ice tire. It takes real work to break traction, even with traction-control disabled during wet weather. Do NOT confuse the Pilot Sport AS4 (High-Performance All-Season M+S rated - 45k warranty) for the Pilot Sport 4S (HP soft compound Summer "only" tire - 30k). Several of the negative reviews on here clearly suffer this confusion over the 4S.

Track-level grip for Daily Drivers

Had to replace the tires on my 2018 Civic Sport and I can’t believe the difference. I previously had some “high-performance” Falken tires that weren’t bad but after a couple days with the Michelin Sport A/S 4s I finally understand. This is the first Michelin performance tire I have ever driven on and my car is a completely different machine on these tires. The level of grip is superior to any tire I have ever had, even in the rain. My car feels like it is floating until I cut the wheel and suddenly it becomes glued to the blacktop. I am a very aggressive driver and understand the value of having tires you can trust on your car and I love these tires!!!

Questionable Quality. Where does the company stand?

Bought these for my Mercedes S550 4matic at 80,000 miles Today at 104,000 am showing cords through 2 front tires Rotated less than a month ago and no mention of any issues. AS3 not 4 Seems like dramatic sudden failure for no apparent reason. Dealer tells me Michelin is not what they used to be as far as handling warranty issues and I will likely eat the full cost of a new set How come my rear tires did not show this wear since they had been on the front prior to this rotation?

Great performance and treadwear, but loud….

These tires lasted me 57,000 miles on my Tesla Model 3 RWD. Would probably last another 2500 miles but changing before rainy season in california. Tires are very grippy in rain and dry, but the noise and drone of tires is a bit excessive. Overall I love the performance, safety and longevity of the tire so decided to get a second pair.

Not as good as the previous version

I put these tires on my 2017 VW GTI SE as a replacement for the Pilot Sport AS3+ that I had on there for the past couple of years. I loved the AS3+, the car had really great grip and it handled like it was on rails. The steering feel and turn in was very sharp and there was almost no lean in corners. The AS4 has somewhat better ride quality than the AS3+ and great grip but the sharp cornering feel and confidence in handling curves isn't there as with the AS4. It feels more like a grand touring tire with a grippier compound whereas the AS3+ feels more like a performance tire with the ability to be used in cold weather and light snow.

Amazing tire at a great price.

I waited to purchase these All Season 4's because I previously had the All-Season 3+'s on my last vehicle. I wanted to try the newest version. The A/S 4 is incredible. It feels grippier and more progressive as it transitions in a slide. The grip level is incredible for an all-season tire. And they're very quiet - noticeably quieter than the A/S 3+. As an added bonus, the sidewall and tread of this tire is great looking. Little details like placing the tire warning's along the rim protector as opposed to on the sidewall and the "velvet-look" logos. I'd definitely buy these again and have recommended them quite often.

Outstanding

I have already driven 17,118 miles with these tires and experienced my first snowstorm with them. Doing my regular maintenance rotating my tires every 5k miles and making sure my tires are properly inflated every month, I have run into 0 issues. They drove flawlessly in the snow with minimal slippage. I enjoyed them and will keep buying Michelin tires in the future.
