Now it's time to take off the winter tires and pack the summer tires on it. So that the driving pleasure beside the safety does not come too short, Michelin waits with its new tire, the Michelin pilot sport 4. The sporty summer tire is available in 36 variants from 16 to 19 inches and adapts optimally to the road surface. No wonder, with this dynamic interplay of tire architecture and tread pattern. But the tire not only shows what it has on dry roads. Everyone can do that. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 also offers high safety reserves in wet conditions. The new, homogeneous tread compound of functional elastomers and fine silica of the latest development stage ensures high performance on wet surfaces. (Advertisement)
In addition, wide and deep longitudinal grooves guarantee a very good water drainage and thus high aquaplaning safety. In addition, a high mileage is guaranteed and thanks to the low rolling resistance, the tire also contributes to a lower fuel consumption.
Excellent steering precision and optimum directional control
Michelin's Dynamic Response technology is also used in this high-performance tire. The very dense, extremely tension-resistant and extremely light fiber, which is five times more resilient than steel, minimizes tire deformation at high speeds. This refers to changing the tire footprint at high speed due to the large centrifugal forces that occur on the rotating tire.
This is history with the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4. The high-tech fibers ensure a constant contact surface, even at high speeds. Safety comes first. When developing the Michelin Pilot Sport product series, the Michelin development engineers worked closely with well-known automobile manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. Extensive know-how from top racing like Formula E and the World Rally Championship was incorporated into the development of the new tire. Another proof of the company's high demands on its products to always optimally combine several performance features in one tire.
Victory to the winner
The specialist press is also convinced by the Michelin Pilot Sport 4: In the summer tire test of the "sport auto" (issue 4 / 2017), he secured the test victory in the dimension 225 / 40 R18 Y. The experts agree: the premium tire convinces with stable handling and outstanding grip. On both wet and dry roads, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is dominated by excellent deceleration. Also in the issue 7 / 2017 of the "auto motor und sport" the tire in the summer tire test in the dimension 245 / 45 R18 Y places itself with the highest score in front of the competitors. He convinces the jury with well-balanced wet and dry properties at a high level, combined with short braking distances and excellent driving safety. With this, Michelin once again proves who deserves to be at the top of the league. On to the next workshop.
