Competition in the sport’s tyre segment is rife, while Continental has just launched the SportContact 6,Michelin is currently presenting the latest addition to its Pilot Sport range.
The Pilot Sport range has earned a solid reputation, especially for its most versatile versionwhich until now was the Pilot Sport 3, a tyre available on the market since 2010. To ensure continuity, the PS4 goes even further than its predecessor offering significant progress in several areas, mainly thanks to Michelin’s experience in racing.
Driving Pleasure
Logically, the Pilot Sport 4 places the emphasis on driving sensations and pure efficiency. For this, its structure features a reinforced belt to keep any tyre deformation to a minimum and, as a result, improves driving precision, dynamic response and of course, the level of pure grip.
Geared towards safetyThe PS4 is a tyre designed to equip passenger cars. As such, it must deliver an excellent level of safety in all weather conditions. Its new tread compound has been developed with this in mind, just like its wide grooves providing efficient water evacuation. However, the brief presentation did not provide any further information about this new Michelin tyre. We hope to compare it with other reference tyres in the high performance segment in the near future to truly evaluate its potential. Let’s hope it achieves its efficiency.
Availability
The Pilot Sport 4 will be available on the market in January 2016, and initially, only in 17- and 18-inch sizes. New sizes will be available later, and in particular, 19-inch sizes.

Excellent tyres with superb grip
Installed a set of Michelin PS4 and was very impressed. Excellent tyres with superb grip on both wet and dry road condition. Fuel consumption is okay. Noise level wise, still okay. Not quiet, but still manageable for me
Most grippy tyre ever
Replaced the stock Bridgestone turanza t100 pen tyres that came on my is200t. May not be a fair comparison as the turanza is a touring tyre and the Michelin is a performance tyre. First the negatives, tyre noise is slightly higher than the Bridgestone, but only slightly. Positives are grip, grip, grip, both in dry and wet conditions. Very communicative steering feel. ...

Nice tyres to own
Just installed 4 pc of PS4 with Kim Hoe. The boss and the staff were very friendly and helpful to all my question even though they were very busy. After installing the tyres, my ride was smoother and cornering was much stable.
Sheer Driving Pleasure
