Michelin PILOT SPORT 4S

Tyre Details

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S represents the absolute pinnacle of Michelin's ultra-high performance tyre engineering, developed in close cooperation with the world's most demanding automotive manufacturers including Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche. Inspired by Michelin's competition experience at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, this tyre sets an even higher bar than its already impressive Pilot Sport lineup, designed specifically for enthusiasts who demand track-capable performance without compromising daily usability. At the heart of the Pilot Sport 4S is revolutionary Bi-Compound technology featuring side-by-side Le Mans-derived compounds. The low-void outer shoulder utilizes a cutting-edge dry-focused hybrid elastomer for exceptional dry handling and braking, while the centre ribs and inboard shoulder feature a silica-infused wet compound engineered to deliver outstanding wet braking performance. This innovative dual-compound construction also enhances flexibility at high speeds, resulting in remarkably low noise levels and reduced wear for extended tread life. The computer-modeled Variable Contact Patch 3.0 technology optimizes pressure distribution across the contact patch during aggressive cornering, reducing hot spots and improving tyre life during spirited driving and track use. Dynamic Response Technology, featuring a hybrid aramid and nylon belt construction, ensures optimal transmission of steering inputs to the road, delivering exceptional reactivity, precise handling, and outstanding high-speed stability. Customer feedback consistently highlights the transformational impact of the Pilot Sport 4S, with drivers praising its fantastic grip in all conditions, exceptional track and road performance, and confidence-inspiring handling that makes hot hatches and performance cars truly come alive. With an impressive 83% "buy again" rating and recognition as Best Tyres for High Performance Cars by DriverReviews, the Pilot Sport 4S delivers the perfect balance of track capability and everyday refinement.
