Upsized to 18" wheels & ride is even a bit softer than the AS3's on the 17" wheels. Steering at low speed is a bit heavy with the larger contact patch than the OE 215's. Good grip cold, much better when warm. Side wall flex is a big improvement in cornering.

I put these tires on my 2017 VW GTI SE as a replacement for the Pilot Sport AS3+ that I had on there for the past couple of years. I loved the AS3+, the car had really great grip and it handled like it was on rails. The steering feel and turn in was very sharp and there was almost no lean in corners. The AS4 has somewhat better ride quality than the AS3+ and great grip but the sharp cornering feel and confidence in handling curves isn't there as with the AS4. It feels more like a grand touring tire with a grippier compound whereas the AS3+ feels more like a performance tire with the ability to be used in cold weather and light snow.

Great grip and stability!

I love the tires. The handling and ride of the car are vastly improved from the original brand.

Really like Michelin tires durability.

Performance is perfect, even the ride is awesome. Yes , the ride now is amazing

The only tires I buy and trust.

New to me and only have had for 4 days now, but they are so quiet and have excellent grip.

Replacing an old set of Pilot Sport A/S 4 on my Porsche. Always reliable and ready to preform.

Love the Pilot Sport Tires
