Product description & features
The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is a high performance tyre, developed with input from BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche.
Michelin have designed the Pilot Sport 4 tyre with dynamic response technology - their use of Aramid and Nylon in the makeup of the tyre helps to ensure that the tyre is continually conforming to the contours of the road, delivering the best traction available for the conditions.
The tyre's tread compounds has been derived from Michelin's extensive experience in key motorsport events - such as Formula E and World Rally Championship.
Michelin PS4 tyres are available in 16 inch, 17 inch, 18 inch, 19 inch, 20 inch and 21 inch rim tyre sizes.
The Pilot Sport 4 tyre uses Dynamic Response Technology to make sure steering responses are accurately passed through the steering wheel to the road. Giving you precise handling. The highly responsive tread pattern adapts to the road surface, providing better grip and control, especially on wet roads.
Michelin have developed the Pilot Sport 4 tyres with a mix of elastomer and hydrophobic silica within the tyre's compound. This, combine with wider grooves and a optimised asymetric tread pattern ensure the tyre can disperse surface water form the tyre's path quickly and efficiently. Giving the tyre excellent grip and traction, even in wet conditions. It also helps to reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
Since its initial launch in 2016, the Michelin PS4 has been recognised the following tyre tests:

Please note: before you select your tyres, ensure that the tyre size that you intend to order are the correct variant and matches your vehicle type.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
