A great SUV tire for predominately on-road driving with the occasional off-road excursions. Handles well on gravel and rocky snow field access roads. Overall a quite and well composed ride across all types of terrain, so lives up to its AT name well.

my 2016 mustang gt came with Pirelli pzero nero tires. i'm the one guy on the mustang forums that likes these tires, however during the post-pandemic supply chain issues i could not find them. so i bought the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 because they were the only "good" tire i could find. i found the pirelli and the michelin equal in everything except: dry road michelin are better, wear michelin are lasting me longer. i did get 0.4mpg more on the pirelli.
im in south texas so weather is hot. i have a 1 hour commute to work (24mi highway, 20mi city). road are generally good. im likely to get the michelin again as they have already lasted me 40% more than the pirelli and are still good.

Noisy tires on nearly every surface.
Long breaking distances.
Average handling.
Poor road feedback.

Coming from winter Hankook, a very directional tire and good on dry roads but very very low comfort and terrible over snow (but it's really a winter tire or a four season ?).
Continental work well in every condition and it's so much more comfortable.

A great crossover tire at an affordable price. Mostly highway driving with some gravel back roads and a little beach/ sand driving. Only minimal wear after 23,000 km. No discernible difference in road noise and only slight drop in economy. Car performing much better than stock Continentals it came with.

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 SUV rated 60% while driving a Ford

Tires are fitted to a 2015 Ford Kuga 1.5 AWD auto. I ran the Gen 2 version for 5 years and I was impressed with how well rounded the tire was, happy with every condition apart from very hot weather hard cornering. The Gen 3 however is very different. Wet grip is outstanding, especially lateral grip. Dry grip seems fine for an all season. However under heavy dry braking the car feels slightly unstable. The ride and noise are very good. My concern is side wall movement when lane changing and sometimes when cornering. It can be quite scary when the rear axle moves out of line with the front. This is only evident on the rear axle on my car. This never happened with the Gen 2 tire. Regarding road feed back, there is very little. The tire straightens up very nicely when pulling out junctions etc. Straight ahead feel is light and slightly vague. For me it is really a tire for winter and not a full four season like the Gen 2. I haven't had any snow running yet. I don't think I would buy these again due to the feel not because of grip. As I said wet grip is outstanding.

These came all new on ford Kuga, while ok in the dry and I do gave to say very quiet, the same cannot be said for in the wet, if you start to push on in the wet they just let go with no warning and just slide as though on ice. Had a frost this morning in North Norfolk and these are lethal. Not sure what to replace them with, but they are coming off ASAP......AVOID !
Michelin Latitude tour HP rated 60% while driving a Ford Escape

These tires were on a new 2019 Ford Escape and driven easily by a senior. 40% was high speed freeway driving at 115km/hr-120.
They lasted to 54k km and I could have stretched another 60k km if I was not going into winter.
Very early tread wearout and I won't buy again. Also one tire belt failed so I bought a new set of 4 at 54k km.

I just put them on my car, I have 2 winters in fact, so I am starting my third and my tires are due to be changed soon...I do 60 km/day 5 days a week that's all...I am really disappointed with the longevity, they are also noisy, as for the rest they did the job, but I will not buy this product again

I've had these for 11 months and 10,000 on the front of my car and they're down to 2.5mm already.
Waste of money.
Don't buy these tires !!!

I bought the tire for my 2012 model opel astra j gtc. I did not like its performance in the rain, it slips when I brake and skids even at moderate throttle response. Its performance in dry conditions is average. I was torn between Falken z310 Ecorun and wish I had bought it.
