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.

Came on new 24 Porsche Panamera 4. Total of 4,600 miles to date. Great handling and good in the rain. Works well on light snow too. Tires are different size front and rear so cannot rotate. Time will tell how long these will last. I would be happy to get 30k miles.

Just purchased one 275/40/18 tire for Mercedes Wow these tires are light weight ,softer rubber texture Very limited amount of road noise. These tires somehow makes me feel more secure driving in the rain because it Has like minimal slipping It gives you an straight ahead planted feeling while driving in the rain even above highway speeds (You generally shouldn’t do ) On dry roads it creates perfect grip , turns where I point the steering wheel My car is a 5,145 pound Mercedes s55 and the tires makes me feel confident and more in control. But like they say on reading rainbow ,don’t take my word for it, buy the tires for yourself ! And you’ll see what I’m talking about first hand

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.

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!!!!

BMW M235 My previous tires were Pilot Super Sports which I found to be fabulous in traction, ride and response. But, living in the snow belt, the lower temperature season can really shorten the time I have them on the car. So when I needed a replacement I thought why not go with the AS4 , maybe loose a little performance but enjoy a longer time with no snow tires on. I've now driven about 600 miles with them. I find them as harsh and uncomfortable as the RFTs that were OE on the vehicle. Jarring really even on the softest suspension setting. Further my dealer could not balance them for a smooth ride after 3 tries on the Hunter Road Force. I will say that after the break in, they had good traction in dry and wet. Never got to snow. I'm calling uncle and swapping them out for another brand.

I Purchased Top of the Line Tires $$$ Expecting Top Performance & Quality. (You Get What You Pay For) As For the Performance I WAS Very Happy with the Stopping, Road Handling (in all weather conditions) & over all Smooth Quiet Ride. HOWEVER… As far as the Quality…. Very Poor Tread Life 3 Years and only 13,000 Miles later and I ALREADY NEED NEW TIRES!! Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!

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.

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 installed on my 2016 Mercedes S550 4Matic with staggered 19" AMG wheels. My initial impression was that the steering and braking felt more responsive with the Michelin compared to the competitor brand they replaced, but the ride wasn't as quiet or as smooth as I expected from a Michelin on an S-Class. The next morning, I leveled out the air pressure in all 4 tires to my preferred PSI which restored the comfort level. After a few weeks and many heat cycles, there is no longer any noticeable noise. More importantly the tire provides an insane amount of grip on dry and wet roads. The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 paired with all wheel drive inspires confidence and encouragement for those of us who enjoy spirited driving.

I have a 2020 Type R, factory tires are not meant to driven below 5C so I have to get a set of tires for the winter. There is not much snow in the winter where I live but it's always under 5C and raining. I tried driving on winter tires and all-weather tires available for my car and they both failed to meet my expectation for wet traction. Put these PSAS4 on for couple weeks and I am very happy them. They are definitely better than the Conti DWS06 on my BMW. I drive a "sport car" the way it's meant to be driven, should not have to compromise and drive slowly because it's cold IMHO. I will drive my SUV when it snows heavily.
