Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 Performance

13

Overall Rank

The Pilot Sport All Season 4 by Michelin is a all-season tire with an overall rating of 4.4 / 5. This places it in spot #13 among the 91 all-season tires we’ve reviewed.

Dry Performance

9

Dry Performance Rank

The Pilot Sport All Season 4 received a Dry Performance rating of 4.7 / 5. This ranks it #9 among the 91 all-season tires we’ve reviewed.

This is a very good rating, buyers love this tire for dry road performance and continue to be impressed!

Wet Performance

15

Wet Performance Rank

The Pilot Sport All Season 4 received a Wet Performance rating of 4.6 / 5. This ranks it #15 among the 91 all-season tires we’ve reviewed.

This is a decent rating, buyers are typically pleased with its performance on wet roads and hydroplane resistance.

Comfort Performance

17

Comfort Performance Rank

“Comfort” performance relates to the tire’s quietness, and smoothness. Better ratings will keep tire ‘roar’ or road-noise to a minimum. Great for luxury cars, or anybody looking for a quieter cabin.

With a Comfort Performance rating of 4.4 / 5, the Pilot Sport All Season 4 is ranked #17 among the 91 all-season tires we’ve reviewed.

This is an okay rating, this tire tends not to surprise buyers with too much road noise or feedback in the cabin. However, it’s not the best, so we advise you expect ‘some’ noise from these.

Treadwear Performance

19

Treadwear Performance Rank

Treadwear performance is a measure of how well the tire matched up to customers’ expectations of how many miles they will last. Keep in mind, this rating can be influenced significantly by users giving it 1-star or 5-stars because expectations were too extreme. Maybe their last set of tires lasted 100,000 miles and they now think all tires will last that long (that’s extremely rare). Or perhaps their alignment was really off, causing them to wear out in only a few thousand miles.

The Pilot Sport All Season 4 received a Treadwear Performance rating of 4.4 / 5. This ranks it #19 among the 91 all-season tires we’ve reviewed.

This rating is ‘middle-of-the-road’, this tire tends to last relatively as long as other all-season tires. Without knowing one’s specific expectations, it’s likely that a typical buyer will be happy with the mileage, but not super impressed either.

UTQG Rating: What does 540 AA A Mean?

The UTQG Specification is also relevant to discuss here. This is a specification provided by the manufacturer after testing. The rating for this tire is 540 AA A. There are three parts to this specification: treadwear grade, traction grade, and temperature grade (in that order).

Treadwear Grade

The treadwear grade for this tire is 540. This treadwear grade is very high. This implies the rubber compounds are relatively hard compared to other tires. This tire should wear very slowly – however the trade-off here is usually poorer dry and wet traction.

Traction Grade

The traction grade for this tire is ‘AA’. This is a great rating, and implies the tire can handle high g-forces before starting to skid.

Temperature Grade

The temperature grade for this tire is ‘A’. This rating refers to how well the tire dissipates heat at high speeds. If the tire gets too hot at high speeds, it may come apart. Keep in mind, these speeds are very high, and any tire manufactured these days is capable of maintaining highway speeds up to 80mph.

This is the highest temperature grade rating. An A rating here suggests the tire is temperature-stable at speeds over 115mph. Slow down!

Snow & Ice Performance

16

Snow/Ice Performance Rank

Snow and Ice performance is tested on a specifically designed track to simulate these environments. These ratings represent how confident drivers in these conditions felt on these tires.

The Pilot Sport All Season 4 received a Snow & Ice Performance rating of 3.9 / 5. This ranks it #16 among the 91 all-season tires we’ve reviewed.

These tires rated relatively well for snow/ice. While not the absolute best, you can depend on these tires to get you through light/medium snowfall and occasional ice. However, if you frequently have deep snow or lots of ice, it would be our recommendation to find tires that fairs better in this category.

Off-Road Performance

N/A

Off-Road Performance Rank

The off-road ratings represent how satisfied other drivers were in these conditions. These conditions could include anything from dirt/gravel roads to extreme offroading/bouldering. If you intend to use these in more extreme conditions, we always recommend checking individual reviews on TireRack.com for specific examples.

The Pilot Sport All Season 4 is not rated for off-road conditions, we do not recommend attempting anything beyond casual dirt roads on this tire.

Treadlife Warranty

Michelin does offer a treadlife warranty for this tire. You should see a time-frame and mileage provided in the ratings on this page. Note that this is a ‘whichever-comes-first’ scenario. So if it’s listed as 3 years, 50K miles – they can be warrantied as long as they are less than 3 years old AND have less than 50K miles on them. Manufacturer’s generally determine if a tire is claim-able for warranty by measuring remaining tread depth. See the documentation for the tire for more information.
