The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV is a max performance summer tire designed for drivers of high-performance SUVs and CUVs who demand exceptional handling and grip in warm weather conditions. It balances the need for sporty driving dynamics with the practical requirements of SUV ownership. This tire is not intended for use in near-freezing temperatures, or in snow or ice.
The Pilot Sport 4 SUV distinguishes itself with its ability to deliver confident cornering, precise steering, and excellent braking performance on both dry and wet roads. Michelin's "Dynamic Response" technology optimizes steering precision for enhanced control, whether navigating city streets or sweeping highway curves. The tire's asymmetric tread pattern further contributes to its performance, with the external side providing enhanced dry grip and the internal side featuring wider grooves for efficient water evacuation and improved wet traction. The tread pattern is designed to reduce noise and improve driving comfort.
The internal construction incorporates a hybrid aramid and nylon belt to enhance responsiveness and stability at higher speeds. The tire's compound technology utilizes functional elastomers and silica to maximize grip. Michelin's focus on a balance of performance attributes results in a tire that offers both driving enjoyment and a degree of durability, reflected in its UTQG treadwear rating of 220. Compared to other tires in its segment, the Pilot Sport 4 SUV stands out with its blend of dry and wet grip, precise handling, and comfortable ride.
