“I just switched from the Pilot Sport All Season 4 to the Continental DWS 06 Plus, and the contis are WAY quieter and ride so much smoother than the Michelins. Hopefully they'll last longer too, the Michelins only lasted me about 28k~ miles despite regularly rotating them.”

Tire B
Positive
Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4
Community sentiment for the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 is predominantly positive, with drivers praising its dry and wet grip, responsive handling, and substantial upgrade over stock tires. However, several users report drawbacks including mediocre deep snow performance, noticeable road noise or ride stiffness compared to competitors like the Continental DWS 06 Plus, and an efficiency or range penalty on electric vehicles.

“I just changed back to the AS4’s for the winter from the wide PS4S’s. Almost felt guilty with the cushy comfortable ride. Did my usual off-ramps at about 50 degrees and there is definitely a difference in cornering limits! As4’s are fun but I’m ready for the PS4S’s to go back on in March. Definitely felt a performance decrease going back to factory wheels. The SVE MHP1 wheels are between 8 and 9 lbs lighter. Highly recommend the MHP1’s.”

“Im running pilot sport a/s4 in 265/35 r18 on 18x9.5 konig ampliform. I have been driving them about 5 months, i cant complain. They are good for where im at (only 93 octane stage 1 tune, no major mods). Side note, i feel the road imperfections alot more with such a small sidewall.”

“They were on my '12 GS when I bought it a couple of years ago. In the dry they are great... very grippy and quiet (especially for a run-flat tire), but in the rain, they were downright scary. I replaced them with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport AS4's back in April and like those MUCH better.”

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
