The Pilot Sport All Season 4 is Michelin's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire for drivers of high-end sports cars, sporty coupes, performance sedans, crossovers and SUVs looking to push the limits of all-season performance. Designed to offer high levels of dry and wet traction, combined with confidence in inclement weather, the Pilot Sport All Season 4 aims to control the moment no matter the condition, even in light snow.

Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 Callouts

Select sizes of the Pilot Sport All Season 4 are available with Michelin's Full Ring Velour Premium Touch sidewall treatment. This velvet-effect checkered sidewall is created using cutting-edge laser technology and is designed to enhance the vehicle's visual presence. These sizes are identified on the "Specs" page and in search results.

Featuring an advanced tread compound molded into an innovative asymmetric pattern, the Pilot Sport All Season 4 utilizes large reinforced outboard shoulder blocks that help deliver lateral grip. Dynamic Response Technology evens out the forces exerted on the contact patch during hard cornering, improving handling characteristics and tread wear. Wide circumferential channels combine with large rain grooves to evacuate heavy water from the contact patch, helping increase hydroplaning resistance. Wet traction and stability are further enhanced by the Extreme Silica Compound, along with dynamic biting edges from the distinctive 360 Degree Variable Sipes. These full-depth and interlocking sipes also complement wintertime traction and combine with biting edges molded into the sides of the circumferential grooves to enhance snow performance. The Pilot Sport All Season 4 employs Michelin's Helio Technology, which is derived from sunflower oil. This sustainable and biodegradable material helps the tread maintain its flexibility at lower temperatures, ensuring the Pilot Sport All Season 4's capabilities, even in colder climates.

The Pilot Sport All Season 4's internal construction features a two ply polyester casing, blending durability and performance handling characteristics. Two high strength steel belts are reinforced by single nylon cap ply, further promoting comfort and high speed stability.

...Grip levels are excellent in the dry, and for the 15 minutes it rained on me, felt pretty good...

These tires have been great on my Equinox. Bought them before a road trip because they were cheap and my other tires were at 4/32nds. I live in the desert and know that summer tires provide the best grip in dry/wet conditions. Treadwear isn't a huge concern for me as I drive about 10k per year, so if they last 3-4 years, at the price I paid I'm good with that. Safety/grip is my #1 priority.

They make the car feel like a whole new vehicle. My old tires (Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza Plus) absolutely ----ed in the rain, and apparently were kind of loud (though I never noticed until I bought these new tires). These new tires are tremendously quiet on all road surfaces (roadtrip was mostly conducted on concrete freeways in AZ and CA that tend to be louder). Grip levels are excellent in the dry, and for the 15 minutes it rained on me, felt pretty good. They are also very comfortable, and again, tremendously quiet, even at speeds at or slightly above 90 MPH.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy these tires again, and would honestly pay double what I paid for them if I had to. I will always put summer tires on my vehicles now because the grip levels and directness in the steering is NOTICEABLY better, and would only put Winter Tires or All Seasons on if I lived in a place where it snowed.

They’re absolutely FANTASTIC tires! They respond well, they do fantastic in wet weather, I have lots of traction in wet weather (may have to do with my AWD system though too.
They’re wearing a little faster than I’d like, but overall, they’re great!

...Traction in dry and wet conditions were acceptable for a CUV...

Overall the tires were worth the price paid. Traction in dry and wet conditions were acceptable for a CUV I did not use these tires winter conditions. I have a different size wheel then the OEM and this tire was available in a size that works with my wheel setup for a good price. Acceptable wear resistance when considering the MFG’s tread wear rating but I would expect a tire to last at least 30,000 miles before replacement. Would buy again based on price and ride quality.

Treadwar seems decent for this tire. Not much noise and seems to grip nicely on dry pavement. Haven't experienced a lot of wet conditions so I can't opine on that. Got these on closeout and am very happy with them so far.

What a fantastic set of rubber! After installing these on my 2019 RDX, the ride and handling was completely transformed NIGHT & DAY. The car is more comfortable, yet handles better. The ride is smoother, yet it grips the road harder. I am truly astonished with how well these tyres perform, it’s mind boggling how Bridgestone managed to engineer a tyre that allows the car to have a more comfortable ride, yet corner and grip the road with maximum precision. 10/10, would definitely recommend and buy again.

...Overall these tires are very quiet and do a great job absorbing outside bumps and vibrations... They could get a little upset over mid corner bumps, but I find this to be an acceptable tradeoff for the extremely quiet and comfortable ride...

I took a chance on these tires as they had zero reviews when I purchased them and so far I am pleasantly surprised. I put them on right before a trip through the Appalachian Mountains of around 600 miles and they didn't disappoint. Temps stayed above 50 and we experienced some rain off and on. Overall these tires are very quiet and do a great job absorbing outside bumps and vibrations. I find them to be an interesting mix of performance characteristics. They do seem to lack some cornering stability with a softer sidewall, but they don't lack traction in that respect. At no point in time did I meet or exceed their traction capabilities in some very fast downhill wet and dry turns. They could get a little upset over mid corner bumps, but I find this to be an acceptable tradeoff for the extremely quiet and comfortable ride. We have two nearly identical chassis vehicles with about 100k between them, so I will do a bit of a comparison with some of the other tires I've used on this platform. I realize these tires are in different categories, but I figure someone will find the comparisons useful. I always recommend dedicated snows, if you deal with snow every winter.

Michelin Latitude Tour HP - These tires are extremely balanced. I find the Bridgestone has a softer and quieter ride with more absolute grip but at the expense of some cornering stability in comparison. I would pick the Bridgestone

Pirelli Scorpion Verde A/S - These tires got too noisy and were never great at anything. enough said.

Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season - So far these have been a solid performer with better cornering stability but seem to be quite a bit less grippy in wet conditions compared to the Bridgestones. Overall these have done well so far and are still in service. If you need a snow rated tire, then these would be a good pick. If you don't, I would go with the Bridgestones.

I will do my best to update this review when I have 5k on these for a comparison. In full disclosure, I will run these through winter unless we get some snow where I live.

...The are comfortable, quiet and have actually increased my highway MPG by about 2...

First of all, these tires are very inexpensive, easily $100 per tire less than most others on Tire Rack. I needed tires quickly because the fronts were cupped so badly they were a noise nightmare. Thinking I'd be trading this vehicle in soon, I decided on the economical option.
When the tires arrived at my house, I thought that they looked very cheap. Hardly any of the small sipes you normally see in a tire tread. The embossed information on the sidewall was not very visible at all. They just looked bad.
Well, I've got about 3000 miles on them in both dry and wet conditions, and I have to say, they are performing pretty well. The are comfortable, quiet and have actually increased my highway MPG by about 2. One other thing I'd like to point out is that the spec page lists the tread depth at 10/32." I took the car to NTB the day after installation and they measured the tread depth at 9/32." I didn't expect to get a ton of miles out of these tires, but if I wore off 1/32" in a day, I guess I'll be trading this car in a lot sooner than anticipated. LOL

Tried these tires. Out of curiosity they were priced 50% cheaper than the original tires on the truck Ended up to be a pretty solid tires in all driving conditions. The only issue I with them is wearing off faster than the original tires but overall it’s a great buy for the price.

Breaking Down Tire Performance Categories - 2024 Special Test With Winter Update(26:05)

We understand that tire performance categories can be confusing. You want an all-season tire, but there are several all-season categories; how do you know which one is right for you? You want a summer tire, but again, which summer category? In this special demonstration, we took six all-season tires from three all-season categories and three summer tires from two summer categories to lay it out for you. Category-leading tires from the Standard Touring All-Season, Grand Touring All-Season, Ultra High Performance All-Season, Max Performance Summer, and Extreme Performance Summer categories are tested so you can see exactly what each "step up" gets you as a driver and what trade-offs were made along the way.
