Michelin Pilot Sport 4S!

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.

Great Tire but Tread ehh..

Tire has amazing qualities in which i love. Tread will not keep up the 45,000 miles in which is stated. 255/40/ZR21 & 265/40/ZR21 Are the tire sizes i own. I can not purchase Hazard Insurance due to size of tire, thankfully i have not had an instance which requires it but its good to have. Please create a tire for winter for these sizes. Much appreciated!

CRAP-tastic fuel efficiency

2015 Mazda3 sTouring I have about 1000 miles on these, and was absolutely floored when I looked over the difference in fuel efficiency compared to the OEM tires. There is a drop of almost 20%! I checked the tire pressure with multiple gauges (2x analog, 1x digital), so they're not under inflated. The warehouse also inflated them with nitrogen if that makes a difference. I'm doing mostly highway commuting, so the nuances of 'better' handling may be lost on me, but they do feel like when I put my snows on- kind of mushy - on the road. After I get home (about 20 miles), the tires are very warm to the touch, even when it's raining. Don't know what they'll feel like in the summer. The warmth does make sense, if these tires have such a high rolling resistance, the energy is spent as heat. As a commute car, there really does not seem to be any difference in handling wet or dry pavement. There doesn't feel like any benefit to braking, and possibly a decrease in ability to accelerate. I am really disappointed in these tires so far. After reading all the positive reviews, I really wonder if anyone considers fuel efficiency. Maybe wearing these down to the support layers will improve fuel performance, but I'm not holding my breath for that.

Thank you for providing your feedback in regard to your experience with Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires. New tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires. As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases. Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.

Flat spotting every morning

I bought these tires 5 days ago and they flat spot overnight. I’ve never had a tire do this to me in my life. I had high expectations for these as i have always wanted Michelins. The issue goes away when the tires warm up but the colder it gets the issue doesn’t seem to go away once it warms up.

Perfect tire

Bought four 235/50/18ZR 101Y Pilot all season 4 tires for my Buick Allure Super and have had them for 3 years on the car so far have only put 10000km on the tires. Tires have shown very little wear and are excellent in wet and dry conditions I only drive this car in spring,summer and fall and the lowest temp I have driven is -5 Celsius and have no complaints very happy with this tire . Also road noise is non existent with these tires their extremely quiet

Excellent Overall Tire for Mercedes S-Class

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 installed on my 2016 Mercedes S550 4Matic with staggered 19" AMG wheels. My initial impression was that the steering and braking felt more responsive with the Michelin compared to the competitor brand they replaced, but the ride wasn't as quiet or as smooth as I expected from a Michelin on an S-Class. The next morning, I leveled out the air pressure in all 4 tires to my preferred PSI which restored the comfort level. After a few weeks and many heat cycles, there is no longer any noticeable noise. More importantly the tire provides an insane amount of grip on dry and wet roads. The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 paired with all wheel drive inspires confidence and encouragement for those of us who enjoy spirited driving.

Second Set of 4 - Great Tires!

I've got a 2009 Jaguar XKR Portfolio Convertible with 69k miles. This is my third set of tires. My first were Yokohama's....not a bad tire but in my opinion, they don't compare with the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. I'm on my second full set of 4 Pilot Sports. When these wear out, I'll buy another! They handle extremely well, the ride is wonderful and they lasted about 45,000 before needing to replace. I'd absolutely recommend these for your sports car!

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.

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.

poor quality

I am 60 yrs old and my wife is 67 yrs old. We bought a set of these tires 2 yrs ago for our Audi A7 and have 30,000 miles on them. They are already worn out to the red replacement stage. These tires are such a disappointment. I have always tried to buy Michelin but will be looking elsewhere now.
