Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 Callouts

Select sizes of the Pilot Sport All Season 4 are available with Michelin's Full Ring Velour Premium Touch sidewall treatment. This velvet-effect checkered sidewall is created using cutting-edge laser technology and is designed to enhance the vehicle's visual presence. These sizes are identified on the "Specs" page and in search results.

Featuring an advanced tread compound molded into an innovative asymmetric pattern, the Pilot Sport All Season 4 utilizes large reinforced outboard shoulder blocks that help deliver lateral grip. Dynamic Response Technology evens out the forces exerted on the contact patch during hard cornering, improving handling characteristics and tread wear. Wide circumferential channels combine with large rain grooves to evacuate heavy water from the contact patch, helping increase hydroplaning resistance. Wet traction and stability are further enhanced by the Extreme Silica Compound, along with dynamic biting edges from the distinctive 360 Degree Variable Sipes. These full-depth and interlocking sipes also complement wintertime traction and combine with biting edges molded into the sides of the circumferential grooves to enhance snow performance. The Pilot Sport All Season 4 employs Michelin's Helio Technology, which is derived from sunflower oil. This sustainable and biodegradable material helps the tread maintain its flexibility at lower temperatures, ensuring the Pilot Sport All Season 4's capabilities, even in colder climates.

The Pilot Sport All Season 4's internal construction features a two ply polyester casing, blending durability and performance handling characteristics. Two high strength steel belts are reinforced by single nylon cap ply, further promoting comfort and high speed stability.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Reviews

Customers say the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 delivers outstanding dry traction, with exceptional grip, improved lap times, and stable cornering performance ideal for track days and autocross. While some note predictable behavior in light rain, wet conditions often reveal hydroplaning risks and significantly reduced grip, especially when cold. Treadwear receives mixed feedback-aggressive track use leads to rapid wear, but proper alignment and pressure management can extend longevity. Enthusiasts appreciate their heat tolerance and consistency, though they emphasize these tires prioritize peak performance over durability in competitive settings.

145 reviews mention "Dry Traction"

  • 145 positive
  • 0 negative

Customers praise the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's outstanding dry traction, with many scoring 9s and 10s for exceptional grip, predictable cornering, and lap time improvements during track days, autocross, and HPDE events. Reviewers highlight consistent stability at high speeds, responsive handling once warmed up, and confidence-inspiring performance when managing pressures (32-34 psi hot). While noting alignment and heat management are crucial for optimal wear, most agree these deliver top-tier dry performance for their track-focused purpose.

...Excellent steering response and cornering traction. Excellent straight line traction...

Supercharged 791HP the car was scary and uncomfortable to drive with the stock tires. The Sport Cup 2's totally transform the car. Excellent steering response and cornering traction. Excellent straight line traction. The car is a joy to drive now.

...I can't get a recommendation for a better tire than these. They are a good compromise between fantastic grip and reasonable wear.

These tires (235 19 & 265 19) are used for Autocross and Track events and getting to them on normal highways. I can't get a recommendation for a better tire than these. They are a good compromise between fantastic grip and reasonable wear.

Customers scoring 6 and below report mediocre wet performance, noting hydroplaning in standing water and slippery handling in rain. Some mention unacceptable grip loss in cool conditions, making them risky for wet track use despite their dry-focused design.

...But the wear rate is awful compared to various brands of slick race tyres that cost not much more, and if you drive on public roads, be on your toes if there is heavy rain...

This Cup 2 is considered a track tire. For the price vs performance I think it is over-rated. It has good grip and the tire "talks" to you on the corners, when reaching max grip. But the wear rate is awful compared to various brands of slick race tyres that cost not much more, and if you drive on public roads, be on your toes if there is heavy rain.
Overall, over priced for the performance. Michelin have the market for Porsche 911, Cayman models, so price it accordingly.

...Forget about wet traction and handling. Would never drive this in the rain!

This is THE tire for the GT3. Forget about wet traction and handling. Would never drive this in the rain! This car is for driving Los Angeles Forest Highway from Sunland to Palmdale. Moderate to very aggressive driving depending on conditions. The car came with Pirelles which were very good, but these are even better. When these tires get worn down, they are really loud. I was shocked how much quieter and smooth the ride was after the new set. This is the second set I have installed. 5,000 miles if I am lucky and no mileage guarantee. The harder you push it, the better the grip. I run 31 PSI all around for more control. STAY SAFE!!

  • 70 positive
  • 58 negative

Customers report rapid treadwear, with many dissatisfied by premature cording and short lifespan, even with proper alignment. Multiple reviews note needing replacement after just 2-3 track days or minimal street use, citing excessive wear and cords showing despite intended track use. Tread life often falls below expectations, requiring frequent replacements.

Breaking Down Tire Performance Categories - 2024 Special Test With Winter Update(26:05)

We understand that tire performance categories can be confusing. You want an all-season tire, but there are several all-season categories; how do you know which one is right for you? You want a summer tire, but again, which summer category? In this special demonstration, we took six all-season tires from three all-season categories and three summer tires from two summer categories to lay it out for you. Category-leading tires from the Standard Touring All-Season, Grand Touring All-Season, Ultra High Performance All-Season, Max Performance Summer, and Extreme Performance Summer categories are tested so you can see exactly what each "step up" gets you as a driver and what trade-offs were made along the way.
