Pilot Sport 4 Overview
Michelin developed the Pilot Sport 4, with help and consultation from BMW, Audi and Porsche.
This high-performance tyre was designed with a dynamic response technology – to help ensure the tyre conforms to the road, providing motorists with excellent traction and grip.
Michelin’s use of elastomers and hydrophobic Silica in the tyre’s tread compound helps the tyre to deliver excellent grip and a reliable braking performance.

The EU tyre label ratings exist to give consumers a quick and easy way to determine the performance of a tyre in some key areas. The 3 main ratings that a tyre is scored on are:
- Wet grip rating
- Fuel efficiency
- Noise rating
The wet grip and fuel efficiency scores are marked on a scale from A – G. With A being the best, and G the worst.
Noise ratings are scored slightly differently, with the scores sorted into class A, B or C. On top of this the rolling noise of the tyre is measured in decibels and the number shown on the label.
As tyre models come in a variety of different sizes, you may find that the score changes from size to size – there is no model wide scoring.
