“Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 After 21000 miles, my Pirelli P Zeros are cooked. I ended up getting Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. The ratings sound pretty good but wondering if any of you have them and what your experiences have been?”

“logged close too 100k miles on my model Y and been through 3 sets of tires, I'll give you the ups and downs for each. Original Continental ProContact RX - lasted around 23k miles with average 267 wh/mi Michellin pilot sport all season 4 - lasted around 20k miles average 260 wh/mi (had nail puncture so replaced early) It was wearing down to an estimated life of about 40k mile. Turanza EV: lasted till 47k mile but 280 wh/mi Currently on Continental ControlContact Sport SRS+ 400mi in averaging 257 wh/mi. But already seeing tire wear. Truth be told they all drive about the same, sound the same react similiarly.. the only thing I notice and care about is tire wear and energy usage.”

“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.”

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.
