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.

Terrible quality control. Michelin supplied 2 additional replacement sets and all 3 sets produced a vibration. Tires seen bouncing on the balancer and unacceptably high road force. 26lbs is WAY too much tolerance!!! 10 lbs is felt on low profile tires. No longer a market leader in quality.

I bought these tires for my Honda Civic Si to replace the god awful OEM Goodyears and I was not disappointed. These tires turned my car into a monster. Now I can have a lot of fun driving without losing traction, regardless of if it is raining or not. Rain performance is incredible as it felt like driving in the dry with these tires. The slight increase in noise is well worth the performance.

Bought these tires about a year ago and have no complaints at all!! They’re much grippier than my old tires and are whisper quiet. Unfortunately, my MPG has taken a slight hit, but that’s a small price to pay for much more confident braking and handling.

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!

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.

I just replaced Continental run-flat tires with the Pilot Sport All Season 4 (non run-flats). It is made a massive difference. The tires ride smoothly, steer precisely, braking is improved, and wet performance is so much better and confidence inspiring. A great combination of both sport and luxury. As to a number of comments about the tires being noisy, they really aren't any noisier than competitive tires or the tires predecessor, the A's 3+. I think it's just that the tone of the noises a little bit higher pitched and therefore more noticeable to some people. On the other hand, I noticed that there is no noise difference when driving on asphalt and concrete, which is unusual because most tires tend to be louder on concrete. Not so with these tires.

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.

Significantly louder than the HX MXM4's they replaced. Noise starts right at 40mph and gets significantly louder at highway speeds. Likely going to swap them out for another brand as this is the only Michelin tire that fits 245/50/R17. Tire handles great but I just can't deal with the noise.

I bought these for my charger scat pack. In a month they had 2 separations on the inside bead of the tire. First there was a vibration this is when we discovered the defect. Huge safety issue!! Then we replaced them. 4k miles another vibration and it was all 4 tires split on the inside of every tire. This could have caused a crash or even death for myself and my family!! Do Not buy!!!
