FEW VEHICLE NAMES!

Too many reports not indicating what vehicle the tires are mounted on! What good is such info? I have a new set of 245/4018 going on our 2019 RS 3, which has run 16,698 fast back roads out of a total 23,192 on current Michelin A/S3+ with no issues at all. Will report on the Pilot Sport 4S after some mileage is run at speed.

Harsh Ride like a Run Flat - Cannot balance Smooth

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.

Horribly LOUD & NOT LIKE the old wonderful) Michelins

I bought the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (ZR rated) for my Lexus LS. These tires are SO NOISY!! They are also hard and you feel the shock from rough roads. They are much noisier than my old Michelin tires. However, they are much better than the Michelin Primacy mxm4 A/s which I swapped for the Pilot Sport. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID both the Primacy mxm4 and Pilot Sport. Being EV ready, they are low rolling resistance, hard rubber and LOUD. They do not perform anything like the Pilot Sports of 5-10 years ago, which were stellar tires. I am very, very disappointed. MICHELIN SHOULD HAVE SEPARATE LINES FOR EV AND EFFICIENCY AND OTHER LOW CLASS CARS, AND A DIFFERENT LINE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT THE WONDERFUL QUIETER, SOFTER AND SMOOTHER TIRES UPON WHICH MICHELIN BUILT ITS PRIOR REPUTION. One positive: it is good that Michelin has its 60 day swap program. Given the poor quality and NOISE of these new Michelin kinds of tires (all of which are designated by Michein as EV Ready), I will probably move to a cheaper tire mfgr whose tires are grippier and not as LOUD and save the money.

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.

Amazing tires for GR Corolla

Great tires on the GR Corolla, I would love to try the CrossClimate2 next. This has been great on the Florida roads, trails and even in the harsh conditions as well. People that are experiencing wear on these tires need to get their alignment checked up before mounting these tires on, my tires still look brand new after getting an alignment during the new installment. Will purchase again unless Michelin man sponsors me with a new set hehe

HARD RIDE

My car seems to ride a little harder, than before. I removed Continental tires from my Mercedes C300.The ride sounds loud,if that makes since. But for the price I guess that was pretty good. Not to mention the warranty that came with them. Life of the tire balancing, rotation, etc, etc.

Amazing control

I bought a set of pilot sport AS4 to put on my car and I absolutely love them the amount of control and response difference compared to the stock tires was unbelievable and as far as grip goes I have a hard time breaking loose when I try to do it on purpose

Hmm??

Why dont they make this in a 225/50/18 I just got a 2017 subaru legacy 3.6R Limited and they made the pilot sport a/s 3's in that size in a W speed rating, I'm looking for new tires to improve the ride and handling and everything about my car, but why should I go with a michelin if I have to settle for the old technology in the a/s 3? The a/s 4 is the newer successor with more and better technology, I got a subaru with all wheel drive so I can run a sportier tire all year long with my geographic area with occasional snow, I might just have to settle for an all season tire without a sport focus, which I dont want to do, I want an all season with a sport focus, but why should I go with an a/s 3 when there is a newer tire in the a/s 4? The answer to that is because unfortunately the a/s 4 is not available in my size, and I don't want to go with a nonfactory size either, troubling matter for a loyal michelin fan like myself, just wondering if their are plans at all to bring the a/s 4 to the market in more sizes at all? If so, i'd be interested in possibly getting some, have not actually bought the product, my ratings are just based off of my experience with michelin products in general, which have been pretty good, really honestly interested in either the cross climate 2 in the 225/50/18 in a v speed rating or higher or the a/s 4 in a w speed rating or higher, I have no use for the cross climate suv tire in my size which is designed with too high of a load rating for my sedan which would ultimately only result in an unnecessarily harsh ride since my vehicle is somewhat lighter weight, not much tire support for my vehicle in this size from michelin unfortunately, at least no tire support in the tire models that I want :(

Mostly great

Purchase these for all-season use in California. Rode these through the recent cyclone storm with no issues. No hydroplaning and complete confidence in braking and cornering. Ride is quieter than I thought. I drive a EV so only noise is from the tires which was not really noticeable. Only thing I would change is the lip of the tire seems to offer little protection for my brand new wheels. It sits flush with the lip of the wheel and I can already foresee curb rashes. If they can bring out the lip of the tire a bit more to protect the rim, I would give it 5 stars. Othere than that, a super high performance tire. I take off fast, corner fast, and stop fast so a high performance tire is required.

Quiet reliable relief on the road and my wallet

I drive a RWD P85+ Tesla Model S, which is both heavy and up until last winter had staggered 21” wheels. I was used to buying a new set of Pilot Sport 4S for the rear every 10-12k miles, which is to be expected, but not welcomed on that setup. I switch to 20” square rims front and aft, and also switched to Pilot Sport AS 4’s ,245/45/ZR20 99Y, and couldn’t be happier. Now that I can rotate tires life if grand. I’m used to extremely irregular wear and regular pinch flats, but I’ve got things nailed down now. Tire wear with theses tire is even, traction is more than adequate and tire noise is drastically reduced.
