The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4+ ZP is a compelling choice for drivers who prioritize wet grip, with a score of 9 that stands out in the performance all-season category. However, its dry grip score of 8 lags behind the category average of 8.4, which might not satisfy those seeking peak dry performance. The tire's 30,000-mile warranty is notably shorter than the category average and competitors like the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus, which offers a more generous 50,000-mile warranty.
In terms of handling, the tire scores an 8, providing the responsive control expected in this segment. Comfort and noise scores are average, aligning with category expectations but not exceeding them. The absence of a 3PMSF rating means it's not the best option for light snow, unlike some rivals that offer more versatility in winter conditions.
For those comparing options, the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus offers better warranty coverage, while the Falken Azenis FK460 A/S might provide a more balanced performance across different conditions. Buyers focused on wet performance will find value here, but those needing a longer-lasting tire might look elsewhere.
The Pilot Sport All Season 4+ ZP is not ideal for drivers who cover high annual mileage and need a tire with a longer warranty. Consider the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus for better longevity and warranty coverage.
