Product description & features

The two main features of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4, a summer max-performance tyre, are its wet braking and steering responsiveness. It uses a tread design that features a two-part tread and an aramid and nylon belt. In the outer tread, and in the inner tread, are the two different forms of Bi-Compound Technology. One uses a dry grip rubber with a hybrid elastomer, and the other uses a silica blend with a wet grip elastomer. Michelin’s Dynamic Response Technology uses an aramid and nylon belt in combination with the tread design to convey the driver’s steering inputs into the road while ensuring that the tread remains stable during the steering load.

Some variants of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 mark the sidewall with a BMW Star Mark or MO (Mercedes-Benz Original) marking indicating they were made to the specifications of each respective car maker. Michelin also makes the Pilot Sport 4 SUV targeted at lighter SUVs and crossovers and made with a casing that accommodates the weight of heavier vehicles. Considering this, we sell the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 here at Tyres.co.uk.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 205/50R17 89Y
Let's see how they hold up with only 6.5mm of tread depth from the start (vs the 8mm OEM).

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 205/50R17 89Y
Although I would have liked them to last longer, these tyres work great in both wet and dry conditions. I can't share a pic because they've been replaced with PS5s and I can't show the difference.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 205/50R17 89Y
These are tremendously better than the last ones. Although the last set still had good tread left, they were almost eight years old and had hardened. The new tyres are much nicer and quieter to drive with.
