Michelin Pilot Sport 4 wins Auto Express Ultimate Tyre Test

The Pilot Sport 4 was up against eight competitor tyres.

"There's a liveliness to the steering that makes most rivals seem soft and spongy." Testers from the publication have said. "It started in the breaking tests, making rivals look ordinary in the wet. There was also a clear margin in the dry." They added.

The technologies incorporated into the Pilot Sport 4 were developed with Michelin's involvement in the world's first electric single-seater race series Formula E.

"The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is testament to our track to street philosophy. We got involved with Formula E at its inception because we knew we would learn so much in a very short space of time. The series uses a tyre size that relates to on-the-road cars and it takes place on real roads with potholes rough surfaces, grids, surface paint and everything else motorists are faced with every day." said Rebeca Nieto, Michelin's Commercial Director for Car, Van and 4 x 4 in the UK and Ireland, she also added "Not only that, the tyre had to be able to handle high performance in both the wet and the dry, it has to be extremely durable and it has to be very efficient to prolong battery life. We're very proud that the exceptional performance of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 has been recognised by the Auto Express testers."
