The Pilot Sport 4S ZP is a high-performance summer tire that has been developed in collaboration with leading vehicle manufacturers. It is specifically designed for enthusiasts who want to maximize the performance of their sports cars, luxury vehicles, and performance sedans. The tire is also equipped with run-flat technology, allowing drivers to continue driving temporarily even after a puncture causes a loss of pressure. One of the key features of the Pilot Sport 4S ZP is its ability to perform exceptionally well in warm, dry, and wet conditions. However, like all summer tires, it is not recommended for use in freezing temperatures or snowy and icy conditions. The tire's asymmetric tread pattern incorporates compounds that have been derived from the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, resulting in improved dry handling and braking performance. The tread also includes a wet compound with silica infusion, enhancing wet braking capabilities. Michelin has carefully constructed the Pilot Sport 4S ZP to ensure superior performance and durability. The tire features twin steel belts that are reinforced by a hybrid aramid and nylon belt, providing lightweight strength and improving handling at high speeds. The cord filament used in the construction has been precisely tuned to achieve a balance between tension and strength. Additionally, the tire's polyester cord casing strikes a good balance between ride quality and responsiveness. It is important to note that the Pilot Sport 4S ZP should not be used in temperatures below 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 degrees Celsius) without acclimating the tires to temperatures of at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) for at least 24 hours beforehand. This helps prevent irreversible cracking of the specialized rubber compounds used in the tire. While compound cracking is not covered by warranty as it occurs due to improper use or storage, tires that exhibit such cracking should be replaced. The Pilot Sport 4S ZP exemplifies Michelin's commitment to environmentally conscious manufacturing. Certain sizes of the tire are manufactured using eco-focused methods, which are indicated on the Sizes and Specs tabs. By considering environmental factors in the manufacturing process, Michelin aims to reduce the tire's overall impact on the environment. Overall, the Pilot Sport 4S ZP is a top-quality tire designed for serious driving enthusiasts seeking exceptional performance, handling, and durability in warm and wet conditions. It incorporates advanced technology and materials to deliver an outstanding driving experience while also prioritizing environmental sustainability.
