Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

The new Pilot Sport AS 4 improves on previous all season tyre with 4% better dry braking, 5% better wet braking and 10% more snow traction. It also offers 29% better wear than leading competitors

The tire's Asymmetric Tread Pattern includes more rubber on the outer shoulder, which helps deliver lateral dry grip. The superior wet grip is the result of a race-inspired tread compound engineered with maximum levels of silica to grip slick pavement. The large rain groove evacuates water from under the tire to prevent hydroplaning.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S vs Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 vs Michelin X-Ice Snow
1st of 3 tyres
  • The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 might not have matched the extreme winter X-Ice Snow, but it was leagues ahead of the summer tyre in the snow and a really impressive tyre considering its abilities in the dry and wet across the summer. The braking was the star quality, and while it significantly slower than the full winter tyre, it still gave you confidence to drive safely on snow covered roads.

Questions and Answers for the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

2021-12-01 - Hallo, ich habe einen BMW X3 M40 mit 21-Zoll-Rädern und habe Probleme, passende Ganzjahresreifen zu finden. Ich habe Runflats, die ich bevorzuge, da sie vor ein paar Jahren meine Familie gerettet haben. Die Größen sind 275/35/R21 vorn und 245/40/R21 hinten. Derzeit sind es Bridgestones, die Anfang des Jahres neu mitgeliefert wurden. Meine Lektüre und Recherche auf Ihrer ausgezeichneten Website und Ihrem YouTube-Dienst legen nahe, dass Michelin PSAS4 am besten wäre, aber die Größe scheint ein Problem zu sein. Ich würde mich über Ihre Meinung freuen.

Ihrer Schreibweise des Wortes „Reifen“ nach zu urteilen, befinden Sie sich in Europa, und leider ist das PSAS4 in Großbritannien und den meisten Teilen der EU nicht erhältlich.

2022-04-19 - Hallo, ich würde gerne Ihre Meinung zu den Ganzjahresreifen in der Dimension 205 55 16 für Skoda Octavia hören. Aus den meisten Tests geht hervor, dass der Michelin Crossclimate 2 der Leistungsführer ist. Ich wäre jedoch sehr dankbar für Ihren Rat bezüglich des Crossclimate 2 oder des Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (auch in 205 55 16 erhältlich). Ist es sinnvoll, den Pilot in Betracht zu ziehen, oder ist er besser für schnellere Autos/aggressives Fahren geeignet? Vielen Dank im Voraus.

Das hängt ganz davon ab, welche Ansprüche Sie an den Reifen haben. Wenn Sie gerne sportlich fahren, ist der PSAS4 die bessere Wahl. Wenn es Ihnen jedoch in erster Linie um Komfort und die höchstmögliche Leistung auf Schnee und Eis geht, ist der CC2 die bessere Wahl.

Top 3 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 Reviews

Given 63% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI PP DSG (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 30,000 spirited miles
Probably one of the best tires you can buy if you need some amount of snow and cold weather ability but still want excellent sporty performance. The dry/wet performance is about 80% of what you'd get with a summer tire, but you can run it in the shoulder seasons or in light winter weather. My main complaints are that the steering response isn't as good as the previous AS3+. The right quality is pretty average for an all season tire, but its OK. All around great options.

Replaced the AS3+ which was already the best tire in the segment imo and wow it's even better. Feels better on snow and better handling so suits the car very well. It's amazing what this thing can do with the tread pattern

Given 100% while driving a Volkswagen e Golf (205/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 500 average miles
Michelin "Total Performance" is right. This tire compliments the VW e-Golf perfectly. Using the 205/55R16 size with stock wheels, it strangely drives so neutral now that you could mistake it for a rear-wheel drive car. I've had a number of Miatas to compare it to. The control it gives at the limit in both a straight line and in the bends is absolutely confidence inspiring. In terms of mileage loss, it's negligible - somewhere between 2-5% range overall in my tests of frequent trips. I'm not surprised because Michelin lists it as low-rolling resistance tire for EVs. Any trade-offs over a purely eco-focused standard touring tire are overwhelming positive. If you can't tell, I'm thrilled with this tire. Does there exist anything better for its use case? Well, if this goes on a new Corvette from the factory, maybe you should consider it. Happy e-motoring!

Given 84% while driving a Ford Mustang (235/50 R18) on mostly motorways for 40 spirited miles
I live in Hawaii so the roads are in pretty good condition and I don't have to worry about ice and snow. I replaced the Goodyear Eagle GT (OEM's) on my car with the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4's about 3 months ago. What a difference in handling, road noise and comfort of the ride ! The tires feel "sticky" to the road with great handling in corners and on the twisty roads up into the mountains. I haven't noticed a significant difference between dry and wet grip, as the tires provide a consistent sense of confidence regardless of the weather conditions. I have noticed some mild road noise, but nothing as compared to the old Goodyear tires. I will leave an updated review in regards to tire wear, but so far I would say highly recommend!

my 2016 mustang gt came with Pirelli pzero nero tires. i'm the one guy on the mustang forums that likes these tires, however during the post-pandemic supply chain issues i could not find them. so i bought the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 because they were the only "good" tire i could find. i found the pirelli and the michelin equal in everything except: dry road michelin are better, wear michelin are lasting me longer. i did get 0.4mpg more on the pirelli.
im in south texas so weather is hot. i have a 1 hour commute to work (24mi highway, 20mi city). road are generally good. im likely to get the michelin again as they have already lasted me 40% more than the pirelli and are still good.

Given 81% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance Mk. 7.5 (225/40 R17) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
I run my car in Vancouver, BC, CA. Typically winter involves a lot of rain, but snow will be a thing to deal with at least a few times a year. It is hilly (very much mountain adjacent), and when snow comes it tends to be very "greasy", and will not be cleared by the city. These tires are enough (when combined with a soft touch on the gas) to negotiate the snow we get here. They are even enough to give a strong sense of superiority to all the boobs who try to use summer tires, and lesser all seasons. They are EXCELLENT in the wet, which we really get much more of. Intellectually, I know I can get more in the summer out of a dedicated UHP, but in normal driving that is a point you won't likely reach on any regular basis.

Given 92% while driving a Subaru BRZ (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Easily my favorite tires I've ever owned. Living in the southern US, I use these as my daily driving and winter tires. It gets cold enough that I can't use track or summer tires year around, but doesn't snow enough to justify winter tires. I have a fair amount of experience with track tires, and on the street, the AS4 really isn't that far behind them. They wouldn't hold up to the same abuse, but that isn't their purpose. Since these are so good, I view the PS4S as being in the no-mans land for tires. One of the super 200 tw tires for summer and the AS4 for longer trips and winter is the magic combination for me.

Tires look great. Have only had tires a week. Notice little road noise I didn't expect. Like a roaring wine. The ride is also is also not as comfort as I expected. But all in all tire is worth buying again.

I have only had them for about 1000 miles but I replaced my old Toyo Proxes 4 all seasons with these and they have dramatically changed the handling of my 2015 Lexus GS 350 awd. Amazing tires so far in the dry and wet (no chance for snow or ice yet) and I am sure I have bored many people talking about my new tires. They are awesome.

Given 76% while driving a Audi S4 (/35 R19) on mostly motorways for 20,000 spirited miles
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires. Running these on a 2012 Audi S4, all wheel drive car. It's my daily driver / road trip car. Climate is middle of USA. Snow only 5-10 times a year here, usually light snow. Truly 4 seasons. Driven about 20k miles on these tires since 2021. Driving style spirited. The wet handling is really why I love these tires. They are just excellent for a commuter or road trip car when the rain is coming down hard. Snow is fine and suitable to get around a light snow day, but you'll slip around a bit (which I'm fine with) Dry handling is on point for what I need. Very good, but not amazing. Only time they slip is under really hard corning when I'm asking for it. They're expensive, that's a draw back for sure. However, I've been happy with the tire wear so far. Just be sure to do regular rotations. I would definitely buy these again.

Given 73% while driving a Audi A5 2.0TFSI Quattro (/40 R18) on mostly motorways for 100 easy going miles
This is only an initial observation !!!! i am comparing the pilot sport as 4 to my old tires, pilot sport as 3 worn down almost to the tread indicator. so having driven only 10 miles on the highway on the new tires: they definitely have great feedback and feel planted to the road. However, they feel jittery and transmit road imperfections noise-wise. on a flat, "no imperfections" road surfaces they feel smooth as ice skating. unfortunately, very few roads have no imperfections. i am an easy going driver so i probably will not approach the performance envelope of these tires, except for avoiding dangerous situations....which is where braking and steering matter, hence for safety.

Dangerous and excessive wear. Go read other 1 star reviews and you'll see that very accelerated wear is common, especially with Pilot Sport A/S tires installed over the past 6 months. (Maybe a production problem or a Costco problem.) Loved the tires when I first got them in October 2021 and I did a lot of driving on winding mountain roads. 3,000 miles later and the tires are completely bald on the rear -- and this is being blamed on my alignment. So, I went to have my alignment checked and no adjustments were needed, so it's not the alignment. Based on several reviews I've found online, tires purchased at Costco tend to have wear problems. Oh, and I only realized they were bald because it was the first snow of the season and the backend of my car lost grip. After looking at the tires, I found both were bald and one is so worn that the wires are sticking out of the tire. Unbelievable that a tire could last 3,000 miles even if I was driving my car sideways or backwards.

Given 70% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI MK7 (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 1,500 spirited miles
Good outright grip and reasonably quiet for a tire in this class. Feels a bit mushy in the turn in and lateral handling compared to the previous version AS3+ which had more direct feel. Has a bit better ride than the AS3+ did, but in my opinion its not better enough to justify the decrease in steering feel and cornering grip. To be honest, I prefer the previous version and its "on rails" feel vs this new version that has more of a typical comfort oriented mix. I have a 2017 VW Golf GTI SE.

Dry grip is exceptional for an all season tire, while wet grip still exceeds my expectations. Hydroplaning has been virtually nonexistent since this tire has been fitted. Even more surprising are the wear characteristics. I've done a few days of light tracking on these tires and it still looks as if I could get another 20,000 miles out of them. While I have not yet experienced their capabilities in the winter, given their superior performance across the board when compared against the tires I had previously, I maintain a high level of confidence.
