The all-season Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tire is designed for the most dynamic versions of passenger cars, including such "icons of car building" as the Chevrolet Corvette, for which this model has passed special certification. It is distinguished by the stability of the coupling properties on wet and snowy surfaces, along with the sporting sharpness of handling and excellent course stability in turns.
The tread pattern is made in an asymmetric design with a division into inner and outer parts. Moreover, on the outer side of the "rubber" there are much more massive elements that increase the accuracy of control and stability in turns, while preventing uneven wear of the tread. Lamellae are cut across its entire surface. The sharp edges formed by them increase the traction and coupling properties on the most slippery surfaces. The lamellae are cut in such a way that as the tread wears out, their edges gradually lengthen, maintaining efficiency even at high mileage of the tire.
Another important feature of the tire is the use of the Extreme Silica+ rubber compound. The compound is characterized by an ultra-high content of silicon dioxide, which was achieved by including special polymers in the composition that increase the uniformity of the rubber mixture, providing stronger intermolecular bonds between all components. As a result, the tread remains elastic at extremely low temperatures, while demonstrating excellent resistance to wear, tears, and cracking.
Main features of Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4
- special lamellae cutting technology retains their effectiveness even at significant tire mileage;
- the Extreme Silica+ rubber compound improves traction and coupling properties on any slippery surfaces, giving the tire increased resistance to wear, tears, and small cracks;
- the asymmetric tread pattern provides excellent traction and stability on snow, increases handling accuracy and course stability at high speeds.
