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.

El Pilot Sport All Season 4 posee un compuesto de caucho avanzado moldeado en un patrón innovador, los bloques o tacos del hombro exterior son largos y han sido reforzados, para proporcionar tracción lateral. La tecnología "Dynamic Response" iguala las fuerzas aplicadas al área de contacto durante la toma de curvas cerradas a velocidades elevadas, lo cual, mejora las características de maniobrabilidad y el desgaste de la huella. Canales circunferenciales anchos combinados con ranuras largas para evacuar gran cantidad de agua del área de contacto con la carretera, ayudan a aumentar la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Tracción y estabilidad en condiciones mojadas son mejoradas, aún más, por el uso del compuesto de caucho "Extreme Silica", conjuntamente con bordes adherentes dinámicos encontrados en pequeñas ranuras "360 Degree Variable Sipes". Estas ranuras profundas y entrelazadas, también complementan el aumento de tracción durante el invierno, y combinadas con bordes adherentes en los lados de los canales circunferenciales, mejoran el rendimiento sobre superficies con nieve. El Pilot Sport All Season 4 utiliza la tecnología Helio de Michelin que es derivada del aceite de girasol. Este material sostenible y biodegradable ayuda a que la huella se mantenga flexible a temperaturas bajas, asegurando que el Pilot Sport All Season 4, mantenga su capacidad de acción durante climas fríos.

...In heavy storms this past weekend the tires were solid, no hydroplaning, excellent grip with a fast stop, and no slipping on fast, wet starts...
I replaced a set of Bridgestone Turanza w/Serenity with 35k miles which may have had a bad belt. I bought the Ecopia for the high treadwear rating and 60k warranty. After 6 weeks in dry & wet driving these tires are excellent. Handling is super, quiet, & smooth. In heavy storms this past weekend the tires were solid, no hydroplaning, excellent grip with a fast stop, and no slipping on fast , wet starts. I could not be more pleased with these tires.

...Better traction, especially in wet conditions, and very quiet.
Purchased the car at 120,000... now has 140,000. Have had the EP422s on for the last 5,000 miles. Much improved over the Integrity tires that came with the car. Better traction, especially in wet conditions, and very quiet.
Now when I rated this tire as a 8 in wet traction... I'm taking into consideration that this is relatively small tire, and comparing it to other tires I have driven of a similar size. In my case I'm not driving a sports car so I don't expect it to handle like a sports car.
Also (very important) we experienced no change in fuel mileage. This was a big concern for us. We drive a mix of highway / country roads for the daily transit and consistently get 43 - 45 MPG. (before and after the EP422s)
I considered other tires that would have had more traction, but I was very concerned about losing MPG... I felt we should get a LRR tire. I think we made the right choice, and we are very happy with the purchase.
Summary: Would recommend to other Prius owners and would purchase again.

...I've driven in heavy rain, both city and highway, and these tires are terrific... No hydroplaning at all!...
I wrote the first review at 1500 miles. I now have 5000 miles and had the tires rotated and alignment checked today. I've driven in heavy rain, both city and highway, and these tires are terrific. Quiet, great ride and excellent handling. No hydroplaning at all! Additional mileage is hard to tell as temperatures and road conditions affect MPG. I am very impressed and recently put a set of the Ecopia 422's on my son's 2009 Scion XB. I am curious to see the performance in snow, and will write another review in January.

...Great dry traction and wet...
I have 103,000 miles on my 2008 Prius. This is the third set of tires and by far the best. The initial OEM tires needed to be replaced at 28 K. The next set were extremely loud and dropped my mpg about 15 %. Switched to the Bridgestone's and have loved them since. Great dry traction and wet. I don't drive my Prius in the snow so no experience there. Getting ready to buy a new set.

Just got the Bridgestone Ecopia EP422's, there were no reviews yet because it was brand new, but the other low rolling resistance tires didn't have great reviews and the summer version of this tire had great reviews. I got an alignment done when I got the tires, so my review of them might be slightly swayed by that.
So far I really enjoy them. I don't notice any excess road noise, they handle quite well, been through a few rain storms with them and haven't had a problem at all. I've gotten about a 3% increase in MPG, but this could also be partially due to the alignment. However, seeing as they're still brand new, I expect them to get better as they wear in a bit, so I definitely think they give at least a little improvement on gas mileage.
I'm going to see how they do as they wear in a bit, as well as handling in the snow, but so far I'm very pleased with them. At this point, I would definitely recommend them.

After about 1000 miles, these tires have definitely exceeded expectations, they are much, much quieter and ride comfort has increased a good amount compared to the OEM tires on my Accord (Dunlop SP 7000)... but the ride comfort/noise level is what made these tires worth it.
After about 1000 miles, these tires have definitely exceeded expectations, they are much, much quieter and ride comfort has increased a good amount compared to the OEM tires on my Accord (Dunlop SP 7000). They even performed better on corners and felt more responsive compared to the Dunlop OEMs, but still won't blow you away. Gas mileage seems to has increased about 1MPG but the ride comfort/noise level is what made these tires worth it.

...Other than LRR, the most noteworthy characteristics (to me, anyway) of the tires in their first 900 miles of use have been the fine ride quality and low levels of noise.
The Ecopia EP422 is an excellent grand touring tire with low rolling resistance. It's particularly well suited to cars like the Toyota Camry that aren't overtly sporty. Other than LRR, the most noteworthy characteristics (to me, anyway) of the tires in their first 900 miles of use have been the fine ride quality and low levels of noise.

I have 65K miles on these tires and they will easily outlast the 70K mile warranty. They get great gas mileage, last along time and do well on traction. They aren't high performance sport tires so if you want cornering speed try a performance tire. If you want a tire that performs very well, last a long time and get good gas mileage these please consider these tires.

This is my third review of these tires. As with the previous reviews, I would give these tires a 9.5/10 on all counts. Quiet, smooth, brakes well on dry and wet surfaces, cornering good given the size and suspension of the car. Unfortunately, hardly any snow this winter, but what we had, the tires were great. I also put these tires on a 2009 Sion xB, and the wear on both cars has been excellent. I have the tires rotated and alignment checked every oil change. I highly recommend the Ecopia tires.

I have a real love / hate relationship with these tires. I love the handling and responsiveness in most conditions. Very quietI think if I lived in the south I would rate these Ecopias a "10" across the board. However I really dislike these tires during snow and winter conditions. I am an experienced driver in winter conditions, the Subaru is AWD and still I feel the car sliding and loosing grip often in snowy. I am not sure if its the tread pattern, rubber compound or design.

I was quite happy with these tires when I first got them. They were quiet, handled well, and gave me better gas mileage. About one year after buying them, I noticed that wet traction had deteriorated, so I really slowed down and drove extra cautiously in rain and snow. Now that I have had them for 2 years, I am not so happy with them. To be honest, my Prius chews through tires like no other vehicle I've ever owned. That said, I believe that the Bridgestone Ecopia tires are one of the worst for wear. At just 32,000 miles, I have one tire at 2/32 and the other 3 at 3/32. The warranty on the tires is 65,000 miles. I'm unhappy that I have to replace tires again so soon.

...Though after about 12,000 miles I was already having difficulty getting up a 2% grade in packed road snow...
This tire is the OEM provided tire on the Nissan Leaf (that I know at least up to 2015).
I'm relatively pleased with the handling characteristics of this tire, I like to take corners at about twice the posted speed, and except for a bit of understeer on anything but perfect asphalt these have done fairly well. Though after about 12,000 miles I was already having difficulty getting up a 2% grade in packed road snow.
That being said, I would _not_ recommend these tires, and I am about to replace them at 20,000. Though I should have replace them 5,000 ago.
First. The sidewalls are abysmally weak. I have been driving now for about 30 years and have had sidewall damage render a tire destroyed at _most_ twice. In the first 6 months of owning the Leaf I've had to replace two of these tires for sidewall damage. Incredible. Luckily I bought the $250 extended warranty that has now more than paid for itself.
Second. Have you ever bought an inkjet or laser printer where the cartridges that come in the box are only filled about 1/3rd of capacity so that you have to buy new ones soon after? These tires are of the same concept.
The treadwear rating is abysmal (400 spec'd)! After about 15,000 miles my tires had absolutely zero tread left on the shoulders. In fact, most local tire sellers no longer carry this and instead carry the 422 "Plus". What does the "Plus" get you? A significant treadwear rating bump (540), even though the tread depth remains unchanged. Thanks Nissan, thanks Bridgestone. I can't speak for any improvement on the sidewall resilience on the "Plus" as I won't invest in a product that pulls shenanigans like this. Though if I had to guess, I'd say they've probably also reworked that weakness as well.
I'm honestly surprised that there's not a class-action lawsuit for this BS.

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.
