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.

...Perform very well in wet conditions...

Overall, very pleased with these tires. Replaced the Michelin Pilot Sport 4's that were on the car previously (twice) and feel that these have been equal, if not superior, to the Michelins.

Perform very well in wet conditions.

Would not hesitate purchasing again.

Until I tried this tire, I didn’t think there was anything better than Michelin Pilots. But the Continentals have exceeded all expectations. Just a brilliant tire in every respect. Handling, ride quality and noise, dry and wet grip, and wear. A tire you can push hard and gives up nothing.

Amazing tires, ridiculous amounts of traction. Excited to see how they perform over their lifetime. Will purchase again most likely although I would like to try a set of Michelins to see how they compare.

...I cruise to work once in awhile with this car and it is great comfort and low noise...

While I do not have a ton of miles on these as they are on my play car, all the miles have been excellent!
I cruise to work once in awhile with this car and it is great comfort and low noise.
Opening the car up on the twisties has been phenomenal! While they initially felt a little numb compared to my run flats, they certainly invoke confidence and gives me plenty of traction in the weather conditions these were designed for.

The sidewall roll off is different from competitor tires, so these will look a little more “Euro” styled for some like in the Corvette community. The looks take some getting used to, but the performance is dead on in my eyes.

I replaced the original Perelli‘s on the car. They were riding very harsh and they made a lot of noise. They also did not wear well. I honestly could not believe the difference in the car. The ride was softer sticky, and it completely changed the car and the way that it felt even my wife commented. I have always liked Continental their priced reasonably, they have good tread wear, and they are extremely solid choice.

...They also seem to be wearing a little slower than my prior Michelin tires...

Great tires. I decided to give them a shot after doing some research, having used multiple sets of Michelin pilot sport summer tires previously. They did not disappoint. Traction is excellent under both dry and wet conditions. Great stability at very high (autobahn-ish) speeds. Corner like champs. They also seem to be wearing a little slower than my prior Michelin tires. Overall, highly recommend especially given the excellent price point.

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.
