Michelin Pilot Sport 4


The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 has an overall rating of 94%, making it a highly regarded summer tyre. It has been rated highly in dry braking, wet handling, and aquaplaning - longitudinal categories.

Looking at the combined test data, we can conclude that the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 comes out as the better overall tyre when compared to the Pirelli P ZERO. It consistently ranks higher in mutual tests and boasts an overall higher rating. However, it is important to consider that the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 has been replaced by a newer tyre, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5, which may influence your purchasing decision.
