Introducing the Michelin Pilot Sport 4

Having previously written about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 and the Continental Sport Contact 6, it only seemed fair to write about the third competitor for brand new high performance tyre releases ready for Spring 2016.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 was launched at the start of this year, initially in 17" and 18" with more sizes expected to be released further into 2016 through to the start of 2017. This tyre is already shaping up to be a great all-rounder, suiting both saloons and sports cars, offering a comfortable, safe and pleasurable ride. Designed with a tread pattern and compound influenced by Michelin's experience in racing, including Formula E, the tyre constantly adapts to the varying road conditions resulting in an optimised footprint on the road.

Michelin have also worked to improve the levels of safety on the roads by using a new mix of compound with specific 'functional elastomers' and silica, providing outstanding wet grip and braking capabilities. Chances of aquaplaning are also reduced due to the wide and deep longitudinal grooves in the tread of the Pilot Sport 4.

Michelins excellence in longevity also shines through in their new tyre, showing reduced rolling resistance and lower levels of wear resulting in lower fuel consumption, this is not only shown in the PS4 but also across the entire Pilot Sport range.
