Product description & features

The tread design of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyre is designed for dry road performance in braking and steering. It has an outer dry road tread and inner wet road tread spacing. The Bi-Compound Technology from Michelin divides the compounds used on the tread into dry and wet performance. Hybrid elastomer compound is used in the outer tread while silica-rich compound is used in the inner tread. The Dynamic Response Technology incorporates aramid and nylon belts beneath the tread. This maintains the shape of the tread during high-speed driving.

There are some variants including N0, certification by Porsche and MO1, which is Benz’s certification for tyres with specifications for its cars. Respect for these marks will ensure that the tyre conforms to specification of the car. There is an XL reinforced construction for some higher fitting loads. We at Tyres.co.uk, offer the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres.

Highlights

  • Dry outer tread and wet inner tread
  • Different tread compounds
  • Aramid and nylon belt
  • Approvals from Porsche and Mercedes Benz

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S 265/40R20 104Y XL
There are only the quite strongest of critics who will not praise these tyres. It's quite the feat to still be receiving a extremely positive reception from the specialists after so many years on the market. These are the original tyres on my rare Vauxhall Insignia B GSi, which had their design and construction completed, with immense levels of detail, to be used on the Nurburgring, so naturally the levels of grip and road adhesion are unbeatable, and incredibly consistent, wet and dry roads. The slip expected to be experienced during traction loss is expertly managed and confidence inspiring, from a longevity perspective. My car has 300bhp, and its four wheel drive system is essentially front-wheel only for the majority of the drive-train cycles. When driven with fully functioning ultra-high performance tearable rubber, the front tyres would be legally bald in less than 5,000 to 7,000 miles. I would lose an average of 10,000 miles.
