Michelin Pilot Sport 4 94Y XL Tire

Michelin Pilot Sport 4. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; High speed controllability; Enhanced maneuvering; . OVERVIEW: The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The model promotes a safer summer weather performance. The asymmetric tread design and the summer compound increase the dry and wet weather road gripping capability. The asymmetric tread's ribbed pattern and optimal notch placement heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, while the compound keeps the tire cool by preventing heat build-up in high-heat and high speed situations. The special circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water from below the footprint, maintaining a constant surface contact and boosting the wet weather driving safety.The tire also guarantees a safer controllability. The asymmetric tread's ribbed pattern improves the tire's surface contact during the tire's performance. In this manner, the model boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering is faster and more precise in its response to the driver's instructions, while the structural stability is guaranteed while the tires are in motion. The constant surface contact is combined with the stronger traction and the tire's maintained ideal shape to ensure its greatest high speed capability. The stronger structure prevents the tire shape's deformation under the high speed pressure, while the optimal compound prevents heat build-up during the drive. As a result, the tire is able to safely perform at its best high speed capability.The Pilot Sport 4 is easily maneuvered. The optimal tread design's constant road contact upgrades the cornering and braking ability. The ideal shoulder pattern provides additional biting edges that firmly grip the road surface during the tire's cornering and maneuvering. The better grip ensures a secure cornering, as the better traction optimizes the tire's surface contact. The tread design's ribbed pattern with the optimal notches help boost the braking ability. They create friction between the tire and the road at the moment of braking, which significantly shortens the braking distance. The result is the driver's full control over the vehicle throughout its performance.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
