Has anyone tried fitting their car with Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 tires? What do you think about the driving experience

I just installed Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 tires on my 2010 sport last week. So far, they feel amazing while driving

I’m not really a fan of those. They kind of remind me of wagon wheels. But hey, that’s just my take, and who cares about that

No worries at all. So far, these tires are way better than the BFGoodrich tires I had for six years. They handle better and are quieter on the road. I still need to break them in more

Oh, I thought you meant the rims. I should’ve paid more attention. The tires look good

All good. These are the stock rims for the 2010-12 Fusion Sport. I just painted them black a few years back

Oh, I didn’t realize that. Maybe they just look small in the wheel well or something. I feel a bit silly now

I have some older Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 tires on my 2011 Fusion. They’re getting close to needing replacement due to age, but they’ve been solid tires. They grip well and have held up nicely

So that’s the version before the AS4? Interesting

Yep, that’s the one. The tires are from 2015, but my car is mostly stored, so they haven’t cracked or anything. They’ve only seen about 20k miles. When it’s time to replace, I’ll definitely go with Michelins again

Got it. I checked, and it looks like the tread pattern is similar to the AS4, so maybe the quality is on par

Yeah, I’ve always felt safe driving on these tires, and I bet the AS4s will be just as good, if not better. I can’t comment on snow performance since I don’t drive in winter, but the Michelin Defenders on my other car handle deep snow and slush well. I really like Michelins
