SALIENT FEATURES OF MICHELIN PILOT SPORT⁴

Highly responsive, precision controlled driving

The "Dynamic Response" technology consists of a belt with hybrid aramid and nylon reinforcement that ensures optimal directional control. With high density, extreme tension-resistant and particularly lightweight fibre (five times more resistant than steel), centrifugal force at high speeds is perfectly controlled and the tire contact patch remains constant, even at high speed.

Safety and braking on dry and wet surfaces

High performance is achieved through a new homogeneous tread compound mix including functional elastomers and silica. Functional elastomers improve load distribution (silica) within the rubber mix, reinforcing its action.

·                    Dry safety: FIA Formula E based tread design and tread compounds ensure superior grip in dry conditions on straight highways as well as cornering/winding roads, leading to excellent dry handling and braking.

·                    Wet safety: In addition to the tread compounding effect, wide and deep longitudinal grooves provide efficient drainage on wet roads, leading to superior wet safety. This tread compound also helps in improving the fuel efficiency and longevity of the tire.

Premium Touch technology

The sidewall markings of most MICHELIN Pilot Sport⁴ sizes are designed using the ‘Premium Touch’ technology. This new innovation from Michelin produces a velvet effect, which brings out the letters and graphics.

Silence and comfort

The tire’s asymmetric design helps in superior handling and safety in addition to minimizing audible noise for silent performance.

Robustness

This tire-line also features a strong casing which works as the skeleton of the tire, leading to an overall robust performance of the tire - a prerequisite in our markets.
