Performance Analysis

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 - Official Image

Across three UHP all-season tests, the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 consistently tops the field, winning every overall comparison (1/4, 1/3, 1/7). Its standout strengths are objective braking (dry and wet), balanced handling with minimal time deltas to the best, and strong snow capability relative to other all-season rivals. Subjective comfort is also a highlight in key tests. Weaknesses are minor: slightly less sharp subjective wet/dry dynamics in some tests, higher price, and heavier weight.
Overall, the tire demonstrates a repeatable, all-round performance profile: benchmark braking in multiple conditions, near-class-leading handling, and credible winter performance for an all-season, translating to consistent test victories.
