“New Tires (Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4) I know this has been discussed a lot here so I won't go into a ton of detail, but I recently got a '23 GT (DCT, around 30k miles) and the stock tires were so ASS. Decided to grab the ones in the title and it's literally night and day difference. I was getting terrible traction when just barely accelerating w/ stock tires. Now I can basically floor it. Same with braking; felt pretty damn bad before, and so much better now. The ride, in general, also just feels more comfortable (smoother, though I didn't notice a huge sound difference, but I usually have music on anyway). Haven't gotten to really push it on turns or anything yet, but it's definitely a big difference already with the small bit of driving I did after getting them installed. I did also go with 235 over the stock 225.”

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

Positive

However, some users note trade-offs in extreme winter conditions, potential range or efficiency impacts on EVs, and faster wear on staggered setups.

“I use these on my F80 M3 competition with the 666M wheels for the winter. I had Continental DWS 06 Plus on my E90 M3. The PSAS4 have stiffer side wall than the DWS06 Plus, so the ride will feel more sporty if that's what you're after. PSAS4 also have slightly more dry pavement grip and tad more steering feel than the DWS. The DWS is a tad bit quieter and softer sidewall. Superior to the PSAS4 in light snow. Dry pavement grip is still amazing. I have 2 sets of 666m wheels for my F80 comp. One set outfitted with Pilot sport all season 4 and the other set outfitted with Pilot sport 4s.”

“Replaced tires with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, ride significantly improved My 2021 MYLR with 19" Gemini wheels ran over a screw in the tire sidewall and I had to replace the tire. I decided to replace all four tires since the tread was low anyway. I ended up replacing with the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. I was happy to find that the ride quality significantly improved after this. Just wanted to let folks know. Others have pointed out that there's a slight range efficiency hit and the tires don't reach all the way to the Gemini rims like the stock Continentals do. I find I don't care about these things and enjoy the ride quality improvement a lot. If I put the car in Chill mode now and drive others around, it's a much better ride experience for them on residential streets. The tires were a bit expensive, $1700 to replace all four including labor (in the SF Bay, a HCOL area) but I had to replace the tires anyway and the benefits were worth it to me.”

“I ran both pilot sport 4s and pilot sport all season 4 got same amount of mileage out of them around 30k bc can’t rotate.”

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.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
