Outstanding traction

I purchased 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 255/45ZR20 (105Y) XL I like the tires however the date code on the tires were: 1 tire in 2017 2 tires 2018 1 tire 2019 I’m very disappointed in how old these tires are coming from Tire Rack! I’m happy with the ride. Lee was very helpful when ordering.

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 installed the Pilot Sport A/S 4 on my 1995 Camaro Z28 I've own this car since new, over the 26 yrs of its life I've had several different tires. I can honestly say that this tire lives up to the Michelin standard, awesome performance in wet traction excellent overall. If you have the opportunity to purchase these tires in your size if available just do it you won't be disappointed. Only negative thing about this tire is the availability in all sizes.

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.

BMW M235 My previous tires were Pilot Super Sports which I found to be fabulous in traction, ride and response. But, living in the snow belt, the lower temperature season can really shorten the time I have them on the car. So when I needed a replacement I thought why not go with the AS4 , maybe loose a little performance but enjoy a longer time with no snow tires on. I've now driven about 600 miles with them. I find them as harsh and uncomfortable as the RFTs that were OE on the vehicle. Jarring really even on the softest suspension setting. Further my dealer could not balance them for a smooth ride after 3 tries on the Hunter Road Force. I will say that after the break in, they had good traction in dry and wet. Never got to snow. I'm calling uncle and swapping them out for another brand.

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)

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.

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.
