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.

Estos tamaños se encuentran especificados en la páginas de resultados y especificaciones (Specs).
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.
La construcción interna del Pilot Sport All Season 4 cuenta con dos capas de poliéster, uniendo durabilidad y características de maniobrabilidad con un buen desempeño. Dos correas de acero de gran fortaleza son reforzadas con una capa de nailon, para proporcionar, aún más, comodidad y estabilidad a velocidades elevadas.

...Wet performance is top-notch, just keep in mind the roads are wet... duhhhh...
The ONLY downside to these tires is the sidewall is so stiff Firestone was unable to install them, stating they were low-profile tires (245/40R18) which is not low profile in my opinion. Tire performance is exceptional though. I have been on several Mini car club runs along with a trip to Tail of the Dragon where I drive VERY spirited, typically doubling the "recommended" curve speed when with others and exceeding that when by myself. Tires stuck it every time. Wet performance is also top-notch, just keep in mind the roads are wet.... duhhhh. I've also tried them out in about 3 inches of snow, fresh fall / packed, and was pleasantly surprised at their snow capabilities considering how well they do on dry roads. The ride is a bit stiff but if you want the cornering you NEED stiff sidewalls so it's a give-and-take. All around great tire, I will be purchasing them again!

Amazing set of tires, even though the car I use these on is nowhere near performance oriented, the way a car can be entirely transformed with a good set of tires cannot be underestimated. Wet traction is amazing, in a way that you will notice from the first time you drive with these tires on: even light snow proved no challenge.

These tires are insanely sticky on icy/snowy roads. Took the Miata to the mountains and roads were covered in ice. The tires gripped like glue and I was blown away. Michelin pulled some magic with these tires. My miata was handling better than many SUVs on snow. Dry traction is also great, comparing to worn out Michelin PSS. The only downside to these tires on a lightweight car like Miata is the weight and the stiffness of the tires. It feels very heavy, bumps on road are more noticeable and it overall feels less comfortable on uneven terrain. Otherwise amazing tires. Very predictable grip window both on snow/ice and dry/wet.

...Ice is also a bit better but I don't agree with other reviews that they're almost like winter tires...
Excellent dry weather tires. My car is FWD and would easily torque steer on the OEM set. These immediately catch grip and drive you wherever they're pointed. Wet weather traction is much better than my originals as well as light snow. Ice is also a bit better but I don't agree with other reviews that they're almost like winter tires.
I would happily purchase these again. They're some of the best tires I've had so far.

...Really amazing tire in the wet and dry the only problem is you don't really know you limitations...
excellent in wet . Car had run flats that I hated when purchased. These tires are slightly different size but same OD. Jeep SRT handling is twitchy and somewhat soft but still firm, so not real predictable or linear in handling characteristics . Had a Trailblazer SS previously that was more predictable but less powerful so some of my comments about tires are related to SRT handling characteristics not necessarily the tire. Really amazing tire in the wet and dry the only problem is you don't really know you limitations. Drive mostly on country roads with high crown and off camber corners with bumps, so the SRT suspension tuned for smooth track like surfaces does not inspire a lot of confidence on this type of road with a 5000# car with almost 500 horsepower. Great tire though.

Best tires I ever used. K5 GT is known to have zero traction with its stock Pirelli tires, but these Michelin Pilot Sport completely transformed the feel of the car for me. I can finally step on the gas off the line and not have my tires spin for ages. Overall cornering and traction performance increased.
Not sure if this is where I write this, but having warranty is also a great plus. Had TireRack replace one of my tires due to it bubbling up, and they didn’t give me any issues about it. So I won’t just be getting these tires again, I will also make sure to keep my business at TireRack!

...They're quieter and have a surprising level of grip; significantly better than any A/S I've previously experienced on a 944 and 993 C4S...
Superb tires for this car. OEM Pirellis looked stretched over the 20” wheels. These 265 Michelins look perfect and ride more comfortably. Even the tech who mounted the tires commented on how much better they looked. Other than the Pirellis slightly better on center feel these A/S Michelins are as good or better. They’re quieter and have a surprising level of grip; significantly better than any A/S I’ve previously experienced on a 944 and 993 C4S. A great A/S car and great A/S tires. There’s lots of hand-wringing over A/S options for the TTS and RS OEM 20/9” wheels on Audi websites. To me these Pilot Sport AS 4 XLs are ---- near perfect. Thanks to Todd for guiding me into these.

...Comfort levels are very high considering the quality of the local roads and a 40-series sidewall. It's close to some grand touring tires I've had from Pirelli and Continental. Noise levels are very good as well, though they have gotten louder in 20,000 miles, but not uncomfortably so...
I bought these in summer 2022 and now have exactly 20,000 miles. Most of my driving is in the city in stop and go conditions from 55 or 65 mph to zero for about 10-15 miles each way every day. And then on the weekend some twisty mountain roads.
These tires have exceeded my expectations in pretty much every regard. I've previously had the Pilot Sport 3 summer tire, and this tire has about 90% of the grip of that tire in good weather. Hydroplaning resistance is maybe a little bit less than the PS3 was. Comfort levels are also very high considering the quality of the local roads and a 40-series sidewall. It's close to some grand touring tires I've had from Pirelli and Continental. Noise levels are very good as well, though they have gotten louder in 20,000 miles, but not uncomfortably so. The Hankook UHP all seasons I had on before these were noticeably terrible at this point in their life.
Treadwear is very good so far I am at 6/32 to 7/32; I expect at least another 20,000 miles from these before they are too worn down to be safe for winter usage, which is pretty good for my driving style.
They do very well so far in light to moderate snowfall. They are certainly not on the same level as a dedicated winter tire, or even CrossClimates that I've had on a RWD Mercedes, but they work well in my city, which usually does a good job clearing the roads. In ice, they are about the same as every all season. If you are in a humid winter environment where there is ice, you really should be running winter tires.
I would definitely recommend these to almost anyone. I would buy them again if I were not a tire nerd who has to try out something new every time I get tires :D

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Hands down the best tires for the Tesla Model Y (all trims). It’s been a year and i’ve put about 20K miles on these and they have performed well all year round! We had a rainy season few months ago and the tires handled the puddles and wet roads like a champ.

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.
