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!

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.

Why dont they make this in a 225/50/18 I just got a 2017 subaru legacy 3.6R Limited and they made the pilot sport a/s 3's in that size in a W speed rating, I'm looking for new tires to improve the ride and handling and everything about my car, but why should I go with a michelin if I have to settle for the old technology in the a/s 3? The a/s 4 is the newer successor with more and better technology, I got a subaru with all wheel drive so I can run a sportier tire all year long with my geographic area with occasional snow, I might just have to settle for an all season tire without a sport focus, which I dont want to do, I want an all season with a sport focus, but why should I go with an a/s 3 when there is a newer tire in the a/s 4? The answer to that is because unfortunately the a/s 4 is not available in my size, and I don't want to go with a nonfactory size either, troubling matter for a loyal michelin fan like myself, just wondering if their are plans at all to bring the a/s 4 to the market in more sizes at all? If so, i'd be interested in possibly getting some, have not actually bought the product, my ratings are just based off of my experience with michelin products in general, which have been pretty good, really honestly interested in either the cross climate 2 in the 225/50/18 in a v speed rating or higher or the a/s 4 in a w speed rating or higher, I have no use for the cross climate suv tire in my size which is designed with too high of a load rating for my sedan which would ultimately only result in an unnecessarily harsh ride since my vehicle is somewhat lighter weight, not much tire support for my vehicle in this size from michelin unfortunately, at least no tire support in the tire models that I want :(

Replaced OEM 2020 Mustang with Michelin Pilot Sports all season. Absolutely, love them. A quiet high performance tire that grips the road on tight curves. You can feel the traction grip the road when you takeoff. This tire is also a smooth riding tire. A notch above the Eagle F1 and Continental DWS 06 plus.

I have purchased two separate sets of All Season 4 Tires for two of my higher performance vehicles. Being Audi's they are AWD and quite heavy, these cars are known for understeer and when pushed hard you can feel the car push. Softer walled tires really feel floaty on the road in aggressive driving. Not only do these tires perform exceptionally well in regards to grip (accelerating and decelerating) their lateral grip is most impressive. These tires allow my cars to handle like they are on rails, regardless of the temperature. Being AA for traction and A for temperature they do exceptionally well when dedicated summer tires become hard and dangerous.

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.

I purchased a set of pilot sport all season 4 plus 285/45 r20 y 112. I noticed that the tread design on the left of the car is pointed in an upward tread direction (^) and the right side is in the downward direction (v). All four tires say "outside" on tire wall. I have never seen a tire that has opposite directional patterns from right side of vehicle to left side of vehicle. Please shed some light on this and/or let me know if I should return to the shop that sold this set to me. All this being said, tires show exceptional grip and road confidence in dry conditions.

I’ve previously owned the AS3 and AS3+. These new AS4 are noticeable better. It handles and grips just as good as previous models. The improvement is in the noise and comfort level. Noise being more muted, meaning in a more comfortable ride. It’s an early assessment but hope the durability and longevity will be impressive. We will see.

Got these not too long ago and they're a great daily tire. Quiet and very comfortable for a performance tire, my car is lowered too. I got these to replace my AS/3s since those were so good. The tire has excellent dry grip and very good wet grip. I haven't had a chance to test snow grip yet, but if the AS/3 was anything to go by, I am not worried about it one bit. I just had a chance to take the car to the track and the tires were great there as well. I never felt like the tires were going to let me go off track unless I wanted to, and I was full tilt out there. Managed to pass up a 350Z in my 200hp Acura and didn't get caught by the Focus RS or the Roush Mustang. That was a very twisty course where grip was key, and it never let me down. The tires lost a little grip after some very hard laps on a hot track, but I doubt any other all season would do better being pushed like that. They would have been fine after half a slow lap, and the brakes were cooking worse than the tires by that point.
