Michelin Fails To Live Up To Its Reputation

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.

Outstanding Tires!

I've never written a tire review in my life. I can't help but write something about these tires. I previously had another all-season tire from a certain company with a blimp and the difference between these Pilot AS4s and those are shocking. Smooth as silk ride, whisper-quiet, and traction that is amazing on my heavily tuned Audi 4.0T car!

Looks great on Mazda Launch edition MX-5

I am hesitant to give a 5 star, because these tires on my Miata, seem to lack smooth steering. For example, when you just slightly turn the wheel, it jumps like it had difficulty going over its own tread?????, then when you turn back slightly it sticks and jumps. Very subtle, different then the OEM tires that were on the vehicle. Wish I really knew what was going on. Air pressure is what is on door jam. I may vary tire pressure and test.

GREAT TIRE

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!!!!

Great performance all-season

I have 2 sets of these tires, for my 1993 Corvette ZR-1 and my 2015 Challenger 392. Excellent grip in all weather conditions that I drive in (I rarely see snow, but frequent heavy rain and temps below summer tire ratings) as well as quiet and comfortable.

So far so good!

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.

Noisy

I have an Audi SQ5 2023. I switched from my OEM Pirelli P Zero. I can report that the new Michelin are way louder above 60 MPH. They don't corner as well. They are good under braking. I will report back when I have more miles. For the cost I wish I had gone to the Pirelli, the road noise is disappointing and unfortunately I do a lot of highway miles.

Great Next Generation!

Big fan of Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3+. Have them on two family cars. Just installed the new Pilot Sport AS 4 on my daughter's 2020 Honda Civic LX. Replaced the OE tires. It's a entirely different driving experience. Love these tires. Fantastic Product

Great tire

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.

Perfect for All-season

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.
