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 4 235/40R18 95Y XL
This is my second set of PS4s, and they continue to offer excellent traction in the rain with little aquaplaning. However, this set appears to be front wear and out more quickly than my previous set. My driving style is the same; I drive normally and do not take corners aggressively, and I cover the same distances and routes. There might be a slight tracking issue, or it could simply be a difference in the rubber compound. The rear tyres still look great after three years, and I finally replaced them after being told there was some slight cracking on the edges. These tyres can be pricey, so getting a 15% discount for Black Friday on Tyres.co.uk was good timing.
