2^nd

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

+The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 recorded the shortest dry and wet braking distances of the test by clear margins. Wet braking was 6 ft shorter than the second-placed Pirelli. It also tied for the highest lane-change speed and took top points for subjective ride comfort.

−The Michelin recorded the highest measured noise of the test at 63.7 dBA and the shortest coasting distance, which points to higher rolling resistance than the rest of the field.

The full test

The evidence behind the verdict

AutoView's 2025 ultra-high-performance all-season tire comparison brings together five UHP all-season tires in 245/40R19, fitted to a BMW 520i. The test group is Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus, Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z AS (H129), Yokohama Advan Sport AS, and Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3.

Test setup & methodology

The test setting, the conditions recorded and how the results contribute to the score.

Recorded test conditions

Dry Braking: 62.1 → 0.0 mph
Wet Braking: 49.7 → 0.0 mph

The Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 took the overall win with no single category victory but consistent top-three finishes across every test. The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 finished a close second on the strength of its braking, recording the shortest stopping distances in both dry and wet conditions. The Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus placed third with the highest cornering speed and the lightest construction.

The Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z AS (H129) and Yokohama Advan Sport AS round out the field, with the Yokohama trailing on the safety-relevant tests by clear margins.

Dry

The Michelin and Continental separated themselves from the rest in dry braking, stopping inside 119 ft from 62 mph. The Pirelli and Hankook were within 1 ft of each other a meter and a half further on, and the Yokohama was a further 5 ft back.

Dry Braking
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4	117 ft	Best	0 mph
2Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS	119 ft	+2 ft	10 mph
3Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3	124 ft	+7 ft	19 mph
4Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z AS (H129)	125 ft	+8 ft	20 mph
5Yokohama Advan Sport AS	129 ft	+12 ft	25 mph

The difference between best and worst was 10.7% (12 ft ≈ 0.8 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Yokohama Advan Sport AS would still be travelling at 25 mph when the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

Steady-state cornering grip was the Continental's win, holding 47.0 mph on the skidpad. The Michelin, Pirelli and Hankook were grouped within 0.3 mph of each other; the Yokohama gave up grip more than two km/h earlier.

Dry Handling
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best
1Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS	47.0 mph	Best
2Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4	46.9 mph	-0.1 mph
3Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3	46.7 mph	-0.3 mph
4Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z AS (H129)	46.6 mph	-0.4 mph
5Yokohama Advan Sport AS	45.1 mph	-1.9 mph

The difference between best and worst was 4.2% (1.9 mph).

In the emergency lane change with stability control enabled the Michelin and Pirelli tied at 65 mph, with the Hankook close behind at 63 mph. The Continental fell back to 62 mph, and the Yokohama only managed 61 mph.

Dry Lane Change
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best
1Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4	64.6 mph	Best
1Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3	64.6 mph	Best
3Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z AS (H129)	63.4 mph	-1.2 mph
4Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS	62.1 mph	-2.5 mph
5Yokohama Advan Sport AS	60.9 mph	-3.7 mph

The difference between best and worst was 5.8% (3.7 mph).

Wet

The Michelin posted the shortest wet braking distance of the test at 82 ft from 50 mph - clear of the Pirelli by 6 ft and the Continental by 7 ft. The Hankook and Yokohama trailed by more than four meters, a meaningful disadvantage in the wet.

Wet Braking
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4	82 ft	Best	0 mph
2Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3	88 ft	+6 ft	21 mph
3Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS	89 ft	+7 ft	23 mph
4Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z AS (H129)	95 ft	+13 ft	30 mph
5Yokohama Advan Sport AS	96 ft	+14 ft	31 mph

The difference between best and worst was 17.3% (14 ft ≈ 1 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Yokohama Advan Sport AS would still be travelling at 31 mph when the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

Comfort

Measured noise was tightly grouped within 1.1 dB. The Yokohama and Pirelli tied for the lowest reading at 62.6 dBA, with the Hankook and Continental within half a decibel. The Michelin was the loudest at 63.7 dBA.

Noise
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best
1Yokohama Advan Sport AS	62.6 dB	Best
1Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3	62.6 dB	Best
3Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z AS (H129)	63 dB	+0.40 dB
4Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS	63.1 dB	+0.50 dB
5Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4	63.7 dB	+1.10 dB

All the tires in the Noise test finished less than 3% apart.

Subjective noise scoring puts the Pirelli ahead, with the Michelin and Yokohama close behind. The Continental and Hankook tied for the lowest subjective score even though the Hankook measured quieter than the Continental - the character of the sound matters as much as the level.

Subj. Noise
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best
1Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3	7 Points	Best
2Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4	6.9 Points	-0.10 Points

4Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS	6.7 Points	-0.30 Points
4Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z AS (H129)	6.7 Points	-0.30 Points

The difference between best and worst was 4.3% (0.3 Points).

Subjective ride comfort follows the same broad order as the other subjective tests: Michelin top, Continental and Pirelli close behind, with the Hankook and Yokohama trailing. The Yokohama in particular picks up too much chassis motion across rough surfaces.

Subj. Comfort

The difference between best and worst was 10% (0.7 Points).

Results

The Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 wins on consistency; the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 is the choice for outright braking; the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus offers the highest cornering speed at the lightest weight. The Hankook and Yokohama lag on the safety-relevant tests in this fitment.

The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 finished second with 102.5 points. Braking is the standout — both dry and wet stopping distances are the best in the group — but measured noise and coasting performance held it back from the overall win. The pick for drivers who prioritize emergency-stop safety.
