Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
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 have 265 35 19's AS4's on my ITS and they have been awesome... not as sticky as the stock tires but thats to be expected. I like the feel when hitting bumps etc with them more because with the bigger sidewall of the tire i dont worry as much about damaging a wheel. I've had them on the dragon multiple times this winter and have done fine. No rubbing at all or any issues. at highway speeds (70-80) speedo is off about 4 mph. I have almost 3k on the tires now.”
“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.”
“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.”

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.
