I no longer engage in terribly spirited driving (its been 25 years since racing school), but I still appreciate a superior sticky tire. I have also gained a fondness for a quiet , smooth ride, which you normally don't expect with a performance tire. I was therefore pleasantly surprised at how much these tires delivered all these qualities with so few of the usual compromises. For my purposes, this was an excellent choice, with much more grip than the OEM tires, and equal smoothness and very little more road noise. Unless you think you want a super stickey tire ( and are willing to pay the price in dollars and discomfort), I recommend the A/S 4. It looks like the new standard for an all season performance tire.

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.

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

The specs and real performance of these tires are incredible. 255/35R21/XL 98W Front - 275/35R21/XL 103W Rear. I know My Tesla MYP can outperform 97% of the vehicles on the road. The car can do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Most likely your non-Tesla car cannot. I put it to the test on my daily 55 mile commute. The tires have a lot to do with this. The heavy EV and high speed rating are brilliant technology. Fully confident all weather rain/sleet /snow/ice at very high speeds. Hey Michelin Bring back Premium Touch.. love it

I purchased a set for a our BMW approximately a month ago looking for a set of all season performance tires which we could also use in light snow but enjoy during spirited drives in the summer without the hassle and expense of 2 sets of wheels/tires.

I just replaced Continental run-flat tires with the Pilot Sport All Season 4 (non run-flats). It is made a massive difference. The tires ride smoothly, steer precisely, braking is improved, and wet performance is so much better and confidence inspiring. A great combination of both sport and luxury. As to a number of comments about the tires being noisy, they really aren't any noisier than competitive tires or the tires predecessor, the A's 3+. I think it's just that the tone of the noises a little bit higher pitched and therefore more noticeable to some people. On the other hand, I noticed that there is no noise difference when driving on asphalt and concrete, which is unusual because most tires tend to be louder on concrete. Not so with these tires.

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.

Bought these tires about a year ago and have no complaints at all!! They’re much grippier than my old tires and are whisper quiet. Unfortunately, my MPG has taken a slight hit, but that’s a small price to pay for much more confident braking and handling.

Significantly louder than the HX MXM4's they replaced. Noise starts right at 40mph and gets significantly louder at highway speeds. Likely going to swap them out for another brand as this is the only Michelin tire that fits 245/50/R17. Tire handles great but I just can't deal with the noise.

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.
