That's a good price at Costco. I paid $732 back in Nov-2020 for the Pilot Sport A/S 4 set but that included the Black Friday promotion.

I also considered the Pilot Sport 4S but the warranty for those is 30k miles. Then I went with A/S 4 because the warranty is 45k miles. Please notice the warranty will be cut in half because the tires can't be rotated in these cars.

always good to hear your suggestion Fredo, I haven't thought about warranty (good point). I think I will go with A/S 4 then, will keep you posted.

One is an Ultra High Performance All-Season tire & the other a Max Performance Summer tire = two different animals.
I've had good results from all Michelins, from Pilot Sports, A/S2,3 & 3+, Primacy and CrossClimate over the past decade. Choose based on your driving style & road/weather conditions. Good luck!

I agree with everyone’s comments. Additionally, I used to have summer Pilot Sports back when I had dedicated summer and winter wheels, but have had and been very happy with their all-season offerings—A/S 3, 3+, and now 4—since 2014!

Agreed with John in VA.
I had Michelin Pilot Super Sports and just changed to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in rear and Sport 4 up front.
They are super grippy and don't break free even when pushing them pretty aggressively on a turn.

Those two are very similar, but completely different than an all season tire (the A/S line).
If you have a dedicated winter tire, I would get the 4S, you won't be disappointed.

I did the exact same thing and I hate that about the warranty. I've thought about switching to squared just because of this. I don't need winter tires and I have been very satisfied with the A/S 4's.

Excuse or enjoy the puns.. With most any type of purchase, tires or else, the driving factors still fall under REAL needs vs. wants or a combo of the two. With the current tires prices being a little inflated, I am targeting Apr/May timeframe. for both my coupe and sedan. For my sedan, I have had sets of Michelin PSS, PSS, Conti Ext Contact, then Michelin PS 4S. My current needs are for daily street driving, 80% low demand / 20% high demand. I plan focus more on needs vs. wants this time, and to switch to the PS A/S. My suspicion is that I will appreciate the extended life of the PS A/S's more that the possibility of exceeding their capability. Any time on a track will likely be in my coupe that I may opt for a dedicated set on 17" rims.
