Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 vs Pirelli P Zero Nero — Compared

“I got 30k miles out of the pilot sport 4s and pilot sport all season 4. The cost difference was not too bad and the all season 4 grip almost as well and are rated to 11f vs 40f for the pilot sport 4s. And they all wore evenly. Upsizing definitely made it feel more planted 245 275.”

“If you drive the car as a weekend driver, as I do, then I think the Firestone summer tires are the best bet. Maximum performance, best feel, etc. I will put only 1000 to 2000 miles a year on my car. However, if I were to use the car more, I would choose a Michelin max performance all season tire. These are nearly as good as the Firestones will be, in the dry, but will be quieter, smoother riding, and last twice as many miles. Michelin makes the world's best tires and no other company even comes close. I would have bought Michelin but they don't make a summer tire in our size. But they do make this and it would be my choice if I drove the car more. They're only a bit more money than the Firestones: MICHELIN PILOT SPORT ALL SEASON 4 Ultra High Performance All-Season Size: 205/45ZR17 88Y XL”

“I daily drive a BMW 328i, which is rear wheel drive. I have the AS4s, and they are great for most conditions. I previously had dedicated summer tires, which just didn't cut it for the number of "in between" weather days we have here. I do have dedicated snow tires, and will always suggest those whenever possible, because I did test the AS4s in light snow and they were just adequate. Traction was predictable, but being a RWD car the difference with actual dedicated snow tires is night and day.”
