Michelin’s previous all-season ultra-high-performance tire broke the performance barrier between summer tires and all-season tires. The latest generation improves on that performance with 4% better dry braking, 5% better wet braking and 10% more snow traction[1].
The tire’s Asymmetric Tread Pattern includes more rubber on the outer shoulder, which helps deliver lateral dry grip. The superior wet grip is the result of a race-inspired tread compound engineered with maximum levels of silica to grip slick pavement. The large rain groove evacuates water from under the tire to prevent hydroplaning.
To further complement wet performance, 360-Degree Variable Sipe Technology – consisting of full-depth and interlocking sipes – provides biting edges for improved traction in rain and snow.
“We built this tire for passionate drivers who need their vehicles to perform in wet, dry or even cold, snowy conditions,” said Michelin brand director Matthew Cabe. “This tire covers 85% of the market, and the new generation includes sizes for the most popular high-performance vehicles being sold today.”
Michelin’s previous generation of the Pilot Sport All-Season proved that all-season and ultra-high-performance capabilities were possible in the same tire. In a testament to the new generation’s ability to provide supercar-worthy performance, Chevrolet made it the first all-season original equipment tire on the new Corvette C8, proven both on and off the track.
The MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport All-Season 4 was developed with Dynamic Response Technology, which ensures forces and temperatures are distributed evenly for a longer tread wear life. The tire has up to 29% more tread life than leading competitors[2].
Details
1) Asymmetric tread pattern - places more rubber on the outer shoulder to deliver exceptional lateral grip
2) Extreme Silica+ tread compound - A race inspired tread compound engineered with maximum levels of silica to grab hold of slick pavement.
3) 360 degree variable sipe technology - Distinctive full depth and interlocking sipes provide biting edges for improved traction in wet and light snowy conditions.
4) Helio+ technology - Advanced rubber grips the road even in freezing conditions.
5) Biting edges in the tread grooves grab loose snow to help control acceleration and braking.
