Horrible Lifespan (less than one year/ 10,000 miles)
Went in for my scheduled oil change today (August 20, 2026) for my GR Corolla. During the tire inspection/ tire rotation of the service, the Toyota Technician noticed that the front tires (235/40R18) were already showing excessive wear on the inside of the tread. I purchased the GR Corolla used (with 6,177 miles on the odometer) and have put less than 3,500 miles on the car myself in less than a year (commute to work is less than 5 miles). Upon the completion of the original service (oil change), the Toyota Service Advisor notified me that I would need to replace the front tires with less than 10,000 miles on them with only 10 miles commuted on them per day. The car has never been tracked or beaten on, however, the Toyota tire warranty only covers NEW tires purchased thru them at the dealership and not tires than are OE equipment sold on the new/used cars. Furthermore, upon reading Michelin Tire Warranty, the tires can also only be warrantied if they were purchased separately. The tires are literally 30% thru their expected life span and yet I have to come up with $600-700 for an unexpected expense on a vehicle that is not even a year old. The longevity of these tires are absolutely horrid as daily commute of 10 miles (5 miles to and 5 miles from work/home) is enough to cause the tires to be a safety hazard with an EXPECTED 30,000 mile life time on them. I plan on furthering my options to have the tires replaced (not on my own dollar) as they are improperly marketed.

Pneu très performant,stabilisé efficace
drive like winter tires .
purchased and installed all four tires from an authorized dealer just two weeks ago . This would be the third set of pilot sport 4 all season tires that I purchased . These new tires behave nothing like last two sets . these tires are loud and drive like winter tires .Handling is loose and sloppy . Terrible gas mileage . I need to push the car more to move . I am really disappointed with these tires as I feel no confidence at high speed .

Too noisy.
These came oem on my GR86. I will not use these again on it for a daily driver, too stiff and deafening to drive on some road surfaces. I have always liked Michelin tires but not on this car will I use them again.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4
The car drives well with my new Michelin tires. Corners well and feels solid on the road. Price was reasonable. Would buy again.
Gives you a lot of confident. It feels planted.
The Michelin pilot sport 4 is one of the best all around summer performance tires I've ever used. The grip is excellent in both dry and wet conditions. It feels planted and gives you a lot of confident.
Horrible durability
Bought these tires from a smaller shop back in July of 2024 brand new. Maybe have 6 thousand miles On them and starting to show wires on the inside. Car was always stored in climate control environment and never driven harshly. This is my second set of these tires. Same issue. I had these on both front and rear previously, didn’t same thing. I switched out the fronts for a different brand and replaced the rears along with an alignment. Now the rears which are the pilot sport 4 are wearing prematurely again. Sadly I think it’s time to switch brands.

Pilot sport 4
I love the fact there super grippy when warm , can put a lot of trust into these tyres on a summers day, lil pricey tho! They also slide a lil in the rain
Overall, Great Tire, but pricey
I have PS4S All Seasons on my '17 Volvo S60. A very heavy car for what it is. I found that they had superior grip to the Pirelli P7s that came with the vehicle. As a car enthusiast, i love pushing my car to the limit and found it was very hard for me to lose traction even when I wanted to: that alone attests to how these tires felt and gripped. However, the noise is a little much - the rolling resistance is another factor to play.
