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.

Purchased for a 2010 Camaro V6 driven all year round in a cold climate. For the past 3 months (December to March), they have performed excellently in cold weather (below freezing) and in light snow. I will no longer be swapping tires in the summer, and will stick with these all year round. They are superior to my previous winter tires on the car, along with the previous summer tires.

Great tires but they don't last. I'm at 46000km and they are down to the wear bars and not even three years old. Like I said, no other issues except for tread life. I would give it five stars if lasted 80000km or even 70000km . Driven on a Lincoln MKX with no aggressive driving.

Installed these Pilot Sport A/S 4 about three weeks ago and coming from a previous set of the Primacy MXM4 I have to say ::::) WOW!!!! For the past two weeks we've had terrible rains in South Florida and these tires have performed outstanding, in heavy rain, light rain, no acquaplaning whatsoever. When conditions dried the tires performed awesome. The sidewall and overall structure of the tire is a bit firmer, which I like comparted to Primacy and there is no squishiness at all! The noise is very much comparable to the Primacy, I would say a very small fraction louder but not noticeable. These tires were a great buy for sure. 235/40R19

There is a reason OEMs choose Michelin. The Tesla model S must have smooth, quiet tires that absorb various road imperfections and maintain good handling characteristics. Road noise is a big concern when driving a vehicle that has no drivetrain noise.

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.

I bought these tires for my Honda Civic Si to replace the god awful OEM Goodyears and I was not disappointed. These tires turned my car into a monster. Now I can have a lot of fun driving without losing traction, regardless of if it is raining or not. Rain performance is incredible as it felt like driving in the dry with these tires. The slight increase in noise is well worth the performance.

I have the cup tires on my GT3, the Ice tires on my mazdaspeed6. And so I bought these for my '18 Model S 100D. They replaced the "quiet" Goodyears OEM at 23,500 miles. After installing the Pilot Sports, I immediately went to the Tesla Service Center in St. Bruno , Quebec for a wheel alignment. I have never touched a curb with the wheels but the car needed an alignment. At this point they are about as quiet as the goodyears. They seem to handle bettter too, but the wheel alignment helped with that too. I have never had a bad experience with Michelins. Even though I purchased them last Winter I just had them installed.

Upsized to 18" wheels & ride is even a bit softer than the AS3's on the 17" wheels. Steering at low speed is a bit heavy with the larger contact patch than the OE 215's. Good grip cold, much better when warm. Side wall flex is a big improvement in cornering.

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.
