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.
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.

Ultra High Performance All-Season: The Search for Balance - 2024 Test 6 With Winter Update (29:16)
Ultra High Performance All-Season tires are the best of the best when it comes to maximizing warm-weather traction while maintaining four-season usability. In this test, we compare 9 tires from this category to see what stands out and what leaves more to be desired.
Feedback consistently shows the Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus delivers strong comfort with many praising its smooth, quiet ride (scores 7-10 dominate). Treadwear receives mixed feedback-many report impressive longevity (9-10 ratings), but some note rapid wear in certain conditions. Winter traction stands out as a weakness, with scores dipping to 0-4 for ice/snow performance, raising concerns for all-season capability. Wet traction earns consistent praise (7-10) for reliable grip and hydroplaning resistance. Dry traction shines with 9-10 ratings for confident handling, aligning well with grand touring expectations. While treadlife satisfaction varies, the tire excels in comfort and dry/wet performance but struggles in severe winter conditions.

...The Ecopia tires are noticeably quieter with better traction in wet conditions. I stick with the posted speed limit in the rain and can tell you it is hard to feel the difference between wet and dry when you are driving like a sane person with these tires...
I am comparing these tires to the Bridgestone Turanza EL400 which came stock on my Prius C. The Turanza were reliable and suited my needs, but seemed pretty average. The Ecopia tires are noticeably quieter with better traction in wet conditions. I stick with the posted speed limit in the rain and can tell you it is hard to feel the difference between wet and dry when you are driving like a sane person with these tires. It feels a little like the road is made of memory foam and you are just gliding along. Fuel efficiency is fine, I haven't crunched the numbers, but it is a little better than my former tires. FYI, Prius C runs awesome on Top Tier gasoline!I can only hope that the tread wears well. Hats off to Bridgestone, folks!

...In regards to wet and snow traction, I'd say these do alright. They're not snow tires, but I was never worried about hydroplaning or skidding off the road due to snowfall...
These tires came OEM on my Mazda, and so far have held up fairly well over the past 1.5 years/36,000 miles. I've been fairly bad about rotating them; rotated them once at 10K, then again at 30K. Even so, there's still plenty of tread left on the fronts.
In regards to wet and snow traction, I'd say these do alright. They're not snow tires, but I was never worried about hydroplaning or skidding off the road due to snowfall. I lived in Northern Missouri for awhile, and even with 4" of snow on the ground, these tires exceeded my expectations.
When it comes to dry traction, I have to say that these tires are fantastic. Not just good for it's price point or category, but good in general. I've exploited the grip these tires have on many occasions, and while they aren't super sticky, they grip well and are predictable when giving up. I autocrossed my 3 on two occasions with these tires, and I've been very competitive, getting the same times as an RX-8 with RE-11's (they were my first two events, so I won't say that my amazing driving skills were the reason). For a set of low-rolling resistance All-Seasons, they're amazing.
Overall, I've been very impressed with these tires, and while I plan on purchasing an extra set of wheels and having a set of both summer and winter tires, I would definitely purchase these tires again, if fuel economy was a high priority of mine.

...These tires grip extremely well and I am unable to make the tires squeal rounding corners or turns regardless of speed. They remain firmly planted and the driving feel of the road is actually quite enjoyable...
I purchased these tires for a 2005 Toyota Camry due to the close-out pricing, but the ratings as stated were encouraging and sealed the deal. This is an older vehicle, but I maintain it well - new KYB shocks with OE springs and strut mounts, properly aligned, with all suspension and steering components being replaced as required with top-end or OE components and regularly inspected and lubricated as needed by me at oil change intervals and tire rotations. I also have front top and lower aftermarket strut bars to enhance handling capabilities of the sedan. Keep this in mind when reading other reviews for these tires: does the person actually have bad tires, or do they fail to maintain their vehicle properly?
These tires grip extremely well and I am unable to make the tires "squeal" rounding corners or turns regardless of speed. They remain firmly planted and the driving feel of the road is actually quite enjoyable. Despite being grippy, I would expect them to be soft and wear quickly, but so far at around 7500 miles into them, they are hardly wearing at all. The road noise on city and interstate travel is minimal at worst. Steering and handling is responsive.
I do live in a desert, however, so my driving conditions are nearly always dry with no snow. If and when I am able to drive them in wet conditions, I will consider an update, and I will monitor tire wear are mileage markers. However: if your car is reasonably well maintained, then I believe these tires are worth the money.

...They spin a little easily when the turbo kicks in if there's any kind of on the road...
Decent-to-good dry traction, fair wet traction, and terrible snow and ice traction. (Pretty much what you'd expect from a middle-of-the-road All Season tire.) They're slightly loud, but not terrible. Excellent handling. They spin a little easily when the turbo kicks in if there's any kind of sand on the road. Comparable with the Conti TrueContacts and Uniroyal Tiger Paws I've used, but not even close to the Michelin Cross Climate 2 or Defender 2 in any conditions.
My biggest problem with the Ecopias is treadwear. These were OEM on my 2019 Jetta, and at 29,000mi (on the dot) they are down to 2/32" tread. That is completely unacceptable for a 70k mile tire, but according to my VW dealer this is very common for this tire. Disappointing...but this just means I can put a better tire on sooner I guess. (Hey...I'm trying to make lemonade here.) There was no rush to get them off as they were totally serviceable while they lasted, but I also won't look back once I can get rid of these.

...The car corners a bit better and the overall feel of control on the road is much improved...
I was concerned with replacing the OEM low-rolling resistance tires with a tire that might reduce this little car's excellent fuel economy. We hated the OEM tires for noise, ride, and treadwear. We were pleasantly surprised by the Ecopia. The fuel economy improved slightly. But the tire noise went away completely. The ride quality improved immensely (like tightening every bolt in the car). The car corners a bit better and the overall feel of control on the road is much improved. While it has nothing to do with performance, there is another small characteristic that we like. The tires remain "black" when the car is washed rather than turning a sort of dirty brown/grey like the OEM tires had done. Not a big deal, but the car is black, and the brownish looking tires were ugly. I know you don't buy tires for looks, but in this case, it is a very real improvement. The tires seem to be wearing well, in fact, the outer portion of the treads still have their little moulding " tips. Overall, we are well impressed by these tires. The car is my wife's, and she seldom mentions anything about the car unless something is wrong. In this case, however, she actually made it a point to tell me that she really liked the way her car drives now. That is about as eloquent of an endorsement as I can provide.

...Little noise, very stable on the road, on tarmac or concrete, great comfort. Steering was precise, and steady...
My new Jetta 1.4L Turbo came with them. I had to drive 1000 miles after driving in town and highway for 3600 miles. At 65 miles per hour, my odometer registered 630 mile per tank. ( 13 gallons input). The tires were very satisfactory in all instances. Little noise, very stable on the road, tarmac or concrete, great comfort. Steering was precise, and steady. For the price, the tire is a GREAT buy. I have bought Michelin, Continental, Nitto, and find the tread and the temperature of the tire to be very good for the price.

...However the ride comfort is the same and noise is less...
After using Michelin Defender this new Ecopias made a significant difference in the fuel efficiency. Was getting 38-40 with Defender now with this Ecopia 422 Plus averaging 43-45 even when the tires have not broken in yet. Have only driven on dry surface, if the handling of defender is 10 then that of Ecopia is 9, very minute difference. However the ride comfort is the same and noise is less. This comparison is with new sets of defender driven about 8000 miles on it. Here an error I think that tirerack has, weight of the 195/60/15 is shown as 18 lbs, however when I received the shipment UPS had weight of 34 lbs for a set of 2, that is 17 lbs per tire, I weighed it on a digital scale at home and found 17 as well.

...Slightly better ride and quieter than the originals...
Purchased these tires a few months ago. The original tires were at ~52000 and though there was reasonable tread left, they were getting loud, and the winter was approaching. Compared the original and this tire. Price was about the same but the reviews on Tire Rack leaned a bit toward these. I drive ~30000 miles /year, so if I didn't like them, I would only expect to have them for ~2 years. So far, so good. I consider myself a good, defensive driver, so I don't tare up the road and avoid hazards. Really, the tire has been great. Slightly better ride and quieter than the originals. Also, I wanted a tire that would help get me the same gas mileage I was used to (~43 mpg) overall. I have seen no true change in that. Just had our first really heavy snow and though I didn't go out in the 8" we had, I am now driving in AC, NJ where they don't know what snow removal is and really not bad traction. I recommend these tires and would buy them again.

I have over 76K miles on them... They wear almost forever. I still have another season with them on my Camry...
I am extremely pleased with these tires. I have over 76K miles on them. These miles were a combination of highway and city driving. I live in Northern Indiana with about 6 months of bad weather driving. I have never been stuck in the snow or ice since installing them. They wear almost forever. I still have another season with them on my Camry. I don't understand some of the lower ratings, as I haven't experienced those ratings to be true.

The 422s have lost about 1/32 less tread than the Michelins at 15 k miles which means they should last longer...
The OE tire was the Michelin Energy Saver A/S which was driven for 48k miles and changed with 4/32 tread left due to ever increasing tire noise at high speeds as the miles accumulated.
I now have over 15k on the 422 Plus tires. The 422s are inflated to around 48/50 psi. I would rate the 422s better in ride quality, tread wear, and road noise level than the Michelins. The Michelins were a harsher riding tire when I inflated them to 48/50 psi. The 422s "absorb" much of the road irregularities. In order to get the similar ride quality with the Michelins, I had to run them at no more than 42/44 psi. As far as tread wear, I keep track of my tread depth every 5k miles or so. The 422s have lost about 1/32 less tread than the Michelins at 15 k miles which means they should last longer.
I would rate the Michelins better in overall handling. The difference is that in higher speed cornering and steering response, the 422s are worse. It seems there is a lag in the response of the 422s to sharper, higher speed urns. As far as wet / dry traction and braking, both were adequate and similar.
With respect to fuel economy (both are LRR tires and tout fuel savings), I noticed no change in fuel economy after I put the 422s on. This may indicate that the 422s are more fuel efficient, that the higher noise level was an indication of increasing forces on the Michelins perhaps due to some uneven tire wear as the tires aged, and/or perhaps rolling resistance of the 422s was lowered with the increased tire pressure.

...Threadwear is very good. At 56k they look like they have another 20000 miles left.
For OEM tires these are very good. Traction on both wet and dry pavement can be improved. For snow they do as well an any all season tire, so poorly. Threadwear is very good. At 56k they look like they have another 20000 miles left.

Despite some scores between 7-10, many customers give winter traction ratings between 0-4, citing slippery performance in snow/ice and unstable handling. The Ecopia EP422 Plus shows lack of winter traction, with reports of getting stuck in deeper snow – disappointing for an all-season tire.

...Poor, if not terrible, in snow... These never performed well in any kind of snow/slush proving a large amount of sliding and front end push...
As I have found on most Dealer/manufacturer standard tires these are just passable; maybe a lowest common denominator tire. Poor, if not terrible, in snow. Does not provide expected mileage. 16k miles and 2 tires where down to the wear bars, the other 2 just above (maybe 4-5/32). Rotated twice. These never performed well in any kind of snow/slush proving a large amount of sliding and front end push. Wet ride was Fair/passable. Dry was decent enough. Certainly not a Colorado weather tire, would hate to think about having them in northern states.

...We don't drive the e-Golf in the snow, and wouldn't with these tires given the wet performance...
These came as the OEM tire on the 2018 e-Golf. The dry traction is mediocre, but acceptable for a low rolling resistance tire. The wet traction is absolutely rubbish. We don't drive the e-Golf in the snow, and wouldn't with these tires given the wet performance. I don't know if it's the pairing with the electric motor which delivers maximum torque from a stop, but they lose traction very easily when going up hills and starting from a stop. Likewise, braking in the wet very easily engages ABS. I've even had them lose traction when going over road paint (cross walks) and manhole covers while on mild regen only - this disengages regen abruptly, which makes the care feel like it's suddenly accelerating, a bit unsettling. Handling is predictable, not particularly good, but no surprises. Noise levels seem good. Now that the rains are back here in Portland, OR, I've been reminded of how they make me hate driving the car in foul weather. Will replace well before they are worn out for safety reasons, which feels very un-eco. Maybe they'd be fine for dry/flat regions, but not here.
