Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV (255/45ZR20 105Y)

The UHP Benchmark for Premium SUVs. Confidence in Every Corner.

The Pilot Sport 4 SUV (PS4 SUV) was developed in collaboration with major premium car manufacturers to ensure a “plug-and-play” performance upgrade. It focuses on extreme wet grip and longevity, consistently topping independent SUV tyre tests.

✨ Key Technical Features

• 🏎️ Dual-Casing Architecture:

  Unlike standard car tyres, the PS4 SUV features a reinforced high-density double-casing. This provides the extra structural integrity needed to prevent the tyre from “rolling” under the weight of a heavy SUV during sharp, high-speed cornering.

• 🏁 Motorsport-Derived Compound:

  The tread uses a new mix of compound with specific “functional elastomers” and thin silica. This allows the tyre to “interlock” with the road surface at a microscopic level, providing exceptional dry grip and braking power.

• 🌧️ Wet Weather Mastery:

  The asymmetric tread pattern is optimized for water evacuation. In Singapore’s heavy rain, the PS4 SUV provides the shortest braking distance in its class, stopping up to $3.15\text{ meters}$ shorter than its competitors when new.

• 🔇 Specialized Noise-Reducing Tread:

  Michelin optimized the tread block geometry to minimize the “hum” typical of wide 255mm tyres. This ensures that while you have sports-car levels of grip, your cabin remains quiet and refined for daily commuting.

• 🎨 Premium Touch Sidewall:

  The sidewall features the “Velvet Effect” laser-engraved texture, giving the tyre a deep matte-black luxury finish that perfectly complements high-end 20-inch alloy wheels.

📊 Performance Summary

• Dry Handling: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Class-leading precision)

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Maximum safety and confidence)

• Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Excellent for a UHP tyre)

• Comfort: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Surprisingly smooth for a 20-inch low profile)

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV is the premier choice for 2026 if you want to unlock the full handling potential of your performance SUV without sacrificing wet-weather safety.
