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.

That's great, I'll be getting a new set next month because the tread is almost completely worn out.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 215/40R18 85Y
Great tyres, just changed my old pilot sport 3s for these. Not a huge fan of how tough run flats can be, but these are amazing, really good grip and they make me feel confident in nearly any weather. Would definitely buy again.
