The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 DT1 is a summer ultra-high-performance tyre developed for powerful saloons, hot hatches and sporty coupes that spend most of their time on tarmac. The DT1 specification denotes an original-equipment style tuning for certain vehicles, prioritising crisp response and stability at motorway speeds while retaining everyday usability in normal UK temperatures.
An asymmetric tread pattern with a wide outer shoulder helps the tyre hold its line when cornering, giving a progressive feel. Deep longitudinal grooves and placed sipes clear surface water efficiently, supporting wet braking and reducing the risk of aquaplaning. Underneath, a rigid belt package helps keep the contact patch stable, translating into accurate steering and more even wear. The compound aims to balance grip with sensible rolling resistance.
The Pilot Sport 4 family has been regularly rated highly in independent UK and European tyre tests for its combination of wet-road control and precise handling. You’ll find this tyre in a selection of popular performance fitments, typically for 17–20 inch rims; if you drive a performance SUV, Michelin also offers a dedicated Pilot Sport 4 SUV version with load ratings suited to heavier vehicles.
