According to the tire maker, the predecessor model, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+, already fulfilled the task of smoothing out as much as possible the difference between the high-performance all-season, and summer tires. At the same time, the developers of the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 were able to still further improve the tire’s performance. The new tire model 2020 improves on its predecessor’s performance with 4% better dry braking, 5% better wet braking and 10% more snow traction, the company says.

The Pilot Sport All Season 4 asymmetric tread pattern includes more rubber on the outer shoulder, which expands the contact patch and helps deliver lateral dry grip. The reliable wet grip delivered by the tire is due to the use of the Extreme Silica+ tread compound, a race-inspired compound engineered with maximum levels of silica to grab hold of slick pavement.

The wide circumferential grooves, combined with capacious diagonal and lateral sipes, quickly and efficiently evacuate water from the contact patch, thus increasing the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 hydroplaning resistance.

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. The sharp edges of the sipes bite into loose snow for faster acceleration and shorter stopping distances in winter conditions.

The Pilot Sport All Season 4 employs Michelin’s Helio Technology, which is derived from sunflower oil. This sustainable and biodegradable material keeps the tires supple at freezing temperatures, maintaining excellent grip and traction even in the cold climate.

The Pilot Sport All Season 4 has up to 29% more tread life than its leading competitors, Michelin says. This is the result of the innovative Dynamic Response, technology, which ensures that forces and temperatures are distributed evenly for longer wear life.

The inner construction of the Pilot Sport 4 All Season has a two-layer polyester carcass, which further improves the tire’s tread life and overall performance. The two heavy-duty steel breaker strips are reinforced with an extra nylon layer, which increases riding comfort and stability at high speeds.
