Was looking for a new set of tires for my car recently. I had a set Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and was going to have more installed but the guy at the tire shop said they had the new Pilot Sport A/S 4 and asked if I wanted those instead. He told me they were the newest latest tire so I figured why not. Immediately I noticed a lot more road noise... I mean a lot more. The A/S 3+ was quiet and smooth all around. The 4 is a tougher ride and a lot louder. Not instantly pleased with this purchase. I hope they handle well in the rain and snow—otherwise I’ll have to chalk this purchase up as a negative one and will be looking for something else in the near future.

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.

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.

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.

I ordered new wheels for a Mercedes Metris van but the supplier noticed they were slightly damaged before shipping them. I ended up selecting a slightly wider wheel and noticed the Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires were available for this wider wheel. I bought them since I’ve run through a few sets on the Porsche and they were excellent. Now, do I need tires speed rated at 186 mph on a van - no - but for just a little more than a lesser tire I picked up some tires I feel confident with, especially with passengers. Ok, it’s overkill but they looking freaking great!

I just purchased a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 for a 2020 WRX Sport-tech RS. Replacement for the OEM Dunlop SP Sport Maxx RT which wore out prematurely (~30 000 km). I immediately noticed much less road noise with the Pilot Sport 4 compared to the Dunlop tirs. My wife even commented: "It's quiet now, like a normal car". So far noticeably more comfortable on rough roads with good handling. Hopefully, the Michelin tires are more durable. Will see how

Excellent traction, handling & performance! Noise is acceptable; only one negative: NOT getting 45,000 as estimateddurability. Wheels aligned at purchase. However, durability is an issue. ONLY 11012 miles on 4 tires--and will have to purchase new tires in 6 months! Great warranty on tires damaged by nails.

I bought these tires 5 days ago and they flat spot overnight. I’ve never had a tire do this to me in my life. I had high expectations for these as i have always wanted Michelins. The issue goes away when the tires warm up but the colder it gets the issue doesn’t seem to go away once it warms up.

Terrible quality control. Michelin supplied 2 additional replacement sets and all 3 sets produced a vibration. Tires seen bouncing on the balancer and unacceptably high road force. 26lbs is WAY too much tolerance!!! 10 lbs is felt on low profile tires. No longer a market leader in quality.

Michelin finally started making my size again for 04 SVT Cobra Mustang. They quit making an A/S for my car back in 2015 and I have to put on a BF Goodrich which bounced like rubber balls on my car, I was highly disappointed. I kept asking Michelin for my tire back again. Finally they started making these in Jul 2020. Had them put on a month again and my Mustang rides and drives like new again. It handles good and rides smooth, very little road noise. Thanks Michelin, I worked at Michelin for 36 years so I know a lot about tires and These are GREAT!!!!
