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.

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.

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.

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've got a 2009 Jaguar XKR Portfolio Convertible with 69k miles. This is my third set of tires. My first were Yokohama's....not a bad tire but in my opinion, they don't compare with the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. I'm on my second full set of 4 Pilot Sports. When these wear out, I'll buy another! They handle extremely well, the ride is wonderful and they lasted about 45,000 before needing to replace. I'd absolutely recommend these for your sports car!

I bought these for my charger scat pack. In a month they had 2 separations on the inside bead of the tire. First there was a vibration this is when we discovered the defect. Huge safety issue!! Then we replaced them. 4k miles another vibration and it was all 4 tires split on the inside of every tire. This could have caused a crash or even death for myself and my family!! Do Not buy!!!

What a difference in the performance from my OEM tires. I put these on my Audi SQ5 replacing the "performance" tires that I had on there that only got about 10,000 miles. I had these new tires for about two months now and the performance of these tires blows away my other tires. It was very difficult to find a 21" all season performance tire at a affordable price. Today My wife drove the car on the freeway in a down pour and she felt very comfortable driving as it proved to be a tire that made the car very stable and responsive. It made this purchase worth every penny. So if you have a vehicle with a performance 21" tire I highly recommend the Michelin Pilot. Thank you Michelin for an awesome tire.

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!

These tires are a huge upgrade for me. Comfort, handling and traction are all greatly improved. It’s the one repair I’ve made to my car that I can feel an immediate difference with. They seem durable so far, only been a week and two days, but I have noticed they aren’t all that quiet. That could be do to the materials used to build my vehicle too though.

I bought mine for an Audi A6 3.0T Quattro when the car had 52k miles on it. Absolutely loved how they handle on wet and dry roads. However, super disappointed with tread life. I have 81K on them now and one tire is almost completely bald, and the others might have 2/3K left until they look similar. Not an alignment issue either as they were rotated and tread is worn evenly. We swear by Michelin tires, and love the Defenders on our Yukon, which is why I’m being fair with 4 stars. But I will probably consider something else to replace these Pilots for this particular vehicle.
