Disappointing Longevity and Performance from Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

I recently purchased a Tesla model Y equipped with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport All Season tires, compelled by the brand's reputation and the specific design tailored for electric vehicles. Given the premium price tag, my expectations were understandably high, both in terms of performance and durability. Unfortunately, my experience has fallen short in several key areas, most notably in the longevity of the tires, which has left me questioning their value. First off, Michelin claims these tires are engineered to meet the unique demands of electric vehicles, promising enhanced traction, efficiency, and a quieter ride. While the initial performance was satisfactory, providing a decent grip and a somewhat quieter experience, the tires quickly showed signs of wear far sooner than anticipated. The manufacturer advertises a certain mileage expectancy for these tires, but my set began to show significant wear well before reaching even 50% of the promised mileage. This was under normal driving conditions, without excessive hard braking or aggressive cornering that might otherwise justify such rapid wear. What's more frustrating is that when you invest in a Michelin product, especially something as specialized as the Pilot Sport EV tires, you expect durability that matches the premium outlay. Unfortunately, this has not been the case. It's disheartening to see a product from a brand as reputable as Michelin fail to live up to its mileage claim, which is a fundamental expectation for any tire purchase.

Another Winner

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.

Amazing tire at a great price.

I waited to purchase these All Season 4's because I previously had the All-Season 3+'s on my last vehicle. I wanted to try the newest version. The A/S 4 is incredible. It feels grippier and more progressive as it transitions in a slide. The grip level is incredible for an all-season tire. And they're very quiet - noticeably quieter than the A/S 3+. As an added bonus, the sidewall and tread of this tire is great looking. Little details like placing the tire warning's along the rim protector as opposed to on the sidewall and the "velvet-look" logos. I'd definitely buy these again and have recommended them quite often.

The 'Almost' Legend Continues

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.

Great Handling Low noise

Went from 17 inch To 18 Inch, huge jump in performance (both wet and dry) from the tires Ford put on my 2015 Mustang eco-boost. People told me the road noise would be an issue but quite the opposite. Black car, wheels, tires. Sorry, can't figure out how to transfer pic. from my phone (LG)

Met Every Expectation

I purchased these tires so that I could drive my Vette so I wouldn't be worried about late season mountain drives. I have just over 2,000 miles on them and couldn't be more satisfied. The ride is great, the handling seems to be better and there's virtualy no road noise.

Easy Ridin'

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.

Great tires and would buy again!

I bought these tires to replace the Pirelli's on my Ford Explorer ST and they make the drive to Montana (over 1,000 miles one way) very pleasant! We drive multiple times from California to Montana a few times a year and absolutely love these tires. I'll definitely buy these again when they need to be replaced.

Great features

Great tire. Extremely predictable and high levels of grip both wet or dry. Very quite on the edge of it's grip. Tread life is also amazing. Other tires don't last as long. I drive hard and I don't do silly things like smoking the tire or donuts in the intersection. No sure if it is a thoughtful engineering thing but I like how you can always tell it is time to change the tires when the ride gets rough and noisy. Even my wife who doesn't pay attention to these things notice it but I don't tell why it is so noisy and she can feel how rough the road is. The crazy thing is the grip is still there. Well as long as there is yread but I am still careful in the rain because the tread depth is there so I make sure I have room to correct.

Mind blowing

Had continental DWS-06 on my wrx and switched to Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. Didn't expect much and boy was I wrong! On ramps and corners are like being on rails! I literally can go so much faster around corners and no give, no noise, these tires never miss a beat! These are better than the Pilot Super Sport that I have on my BMW, and these are suitable for year round performance. I was considering several options and brands, but in the end I relied on my past experiences with Michelin and went with these. So glad I did, I'm never looking back. Love the look of these and love how they perform. Now I can see why they're OE on the C8 vette amazing product Michelin, thanks for living up to your reputation (again!)
