They are selling now in Europe (Sweden), i wonder if they have better grip, lifespan, and acoustic than the usual Pilot Sport S4 (they also acoustic), and of course rim protection@mazen There is another thread, started six months ago, mentioning that those are still on hold, and I could not find them for sale on TireRack.com.

They are not yet readily available in the US.
There is only one size that just became available: 255/40/R20.

It seems the Model Y getting delivered in France are equiped with the Pilot EV.
Some comments on the Tires here (sorry but in French)
In short the tester is very happy about the grip and the suspension and gives some credit to the tires. Not clear if the difference with S4 is important. We should probably start seeing reviews with delieveries ramping up.

What I really want to know is how these compare with the Pilot Sport AS 4 tires.
As much as I want extra range and comfort, grip (especially wet and snow) is my number one priority while delivering decent performance as it affects safety. I'm not in an area where I can justify separate winter tires.
This tire is likely still a great option for people who live in certain weather areas as well as those who use dedicated winter tires.

They'll be quite poor compared in the snow to the Pilot Sport 4 All Seasons since the Pilot Sport EVs are Summer Tires.

Spoke with Michelin, as it was time for me to get tires... the EV won't be available for the 21" wheel any time soon in the US.
Went with the AS and am incredibly surprised with how great a tire it is. I was supportive of the Vredestein Quatrac Pro early own, but as miles progressed it was evident this is far too squirmy a tire if you enjoy any form of back road.
Will be eager to see what the EV tire does in the years ahead when these AS need replacing.

I have a set of winter tires/wheels ready for my November MYP delivery.....I wonder if the EV line is going to be ready by next March/April. And....I think I read somewhere there is also a A/S version of the EV tires? Has anybody else heard that?

When I bought my car the first thing I did was get rid of the fragile 21" wheels (would not have survived badly maintained DC roads for even a season) and replaced them with 19" wheels and went with Pilot Sport AS 3+ tires (Pilot Sport AS 4 was not available back then). I'm really happy with my decision as the Pilot Sport AS 3+ tires grab and hold the road even for Ludicrous launches in the rain with absolutely no drama.
I just don't think I will buy EV specific tires, especially for a performance oriented car, as I'd gladly give up 10 miles of range for better traction as that translates to better safety. My 3 priorities (in order of importance) when I buy tires are:
- Absolute best possible all weather traction.
- Absolute best possible all weather traction.
- Absolute best possible all weather traction.
Now if I lived in Norway, I'd have a seepage set of winter and summer tires.
BTW I found this interview with the Product Manager of the Michelin Pilot tire program quite interesting.

Doing it well
What’s the weight? Any heavier than what we have now and they can keep them. Still love Michelin. <—The standard.

I need new tires too, and considering between the AS4 and the Pilot Sport All-Season (for longer tread life). Does anyone have experience with the All-season?

Give me until after a rotation to judge the noise, but they have a prominent howl from 50-60 mph on most surfaces.
Easily forgiven considering the ride, but still annoying.

I have all 4 Michelin pilot sport EV tires on my model S and can report better range than when I had the regular pilot sports.
I have the 85 and charges to 240 at 100 percent so the additional range is a huge improvement.
I was losing a lot of range with the regular pilot sports. I have only used them for a week, but my car is now showing 241 when fully charged to 100 percent.
I will report back when I have had more time with them, but so far I am glad I got them.
