The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV is a high-performance tire designed specifically for powerful crossovers and SUVs. It offers exceptional grip in dry, wet, and warm conditions, while also prioritizing comfort and reducing noise. It is important to note that this tire is not suitable for use in freezing temperatures, snowy conditions, or on icy surfaces. To optimize traction, the Pilot Sport 4 SUV uses a specialized summer-focused tread compound with functional elastomers and thin silica. This compound is molded into an asymmetric pattern, which enhances performance. The tire's high pattern stiffness and rigid design ensure strong lateral grip in dry conditions, while the optimized notches improve braking performance. To enhance wet traction, the tread features a wider circumferential groove and greater pitch count on the inboard side. Additionally, the deep, straight channels help disperse water to prevent hydroplaning. Internally, the Pilot Sport 4 SUV boasts a durable structure with a high-density, polyester casing and two wide steel belts for added strength. The tire's driving precision and high-speed capability are further enhanced by an aramid and nylon hybrid reinforcement ply. It is worth mentioning that this tire should not be subjected to temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 degrees Celsius) or lower. If the tire has been exposed to such temperatures, it must be gradually warmed to at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) for a minimum of 24 hours before any adjustments, such as inflation pressure changes or mounting on wheels, are made. Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to irreversible cracking of the tire's compound, which is not covered by warranty and necessitates replacement.
