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 4 255/40R21 102Y XL
I changed these out for the winter tyres, so I notice a difference in summer grip, but I will be changing back to winter ones soon.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 255/40R21 102Y XL
Excellent tyres for my Tesla 3 Long Range. However, when it is close to freezing, grip is an issue. This is primarily due to regenerative braking; it causes the wheels to easily lock. Switching to a lower level of regen braking helps a bit.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 255/40R21 102Y XL
I selected the "Volvo" spec tyre which says it is quieter than the standard Pilot Supersport. I selected the new sport 4 acoustic model which should be giving a smoother ride than the last Supersport S, plus it is not as sporty as the last version. For me, it seems to be delivering on these expectations. These tyres are low-profile 30%, which usually means a rougher ride. I chose to replace the front two tyres relatively early as I had pothole damage, even though there was still a reasonable amount of tread left. My full-size alloy spare had an older tyre, so I had both wheels refurbished at Wheel Specialist and had a new matching set of tyres put on. I consider Pilots the best tyres so I'm glad I'm able to afford them. The mileage is very good as well.
