The Pilot Sport EV is Michelin's Max Performance Summer tire, developed for drivers of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) looking for a tire specially tailored to the vehicle's needs. The Pilot Sport EV is engineered to balance traction and tread life while maintaining comfort, low noise, and satisfying handling capabilities. Along with performance and comfort, the Pilot Sport EV is built to offer superb traction in dry and wet conditions.
Max Performance Summer tires are not intended to be serviced, stored, or driven in near or below freezing temperatures, through snow, or on ice.
The Pilot Sport EV utilizes a dual compound, molded into the tire's asymmetric tread pattern to provide separate, yet synchronous performance characteristics. The center of the tread features the high-stiffness ElectricGrip™ compound, for maximum grip specifically for EV torque transmission. The high-efficiency GreenPower™ shoulder compound is designed to reduce energy consumption for increased range. The Pilot Sport EV's optimal contact patch evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, braking, and cornering. Michelin® Acoustic Technology employs a custom-designed polyurethane foam to muffle noise, enabling drivers and passengers to benefit from hands-free communication device use while lessening driver fatigue on long drives. Wide circumferential channels and lateral grooves effectively pump water away from the tire for optimal hydroplaning resistance.
The internal construction of the Pilot Sport EV includes two Greenbelt™ steel top belts intended to improve rolling resistance, and a reinforced polyester sidewall with a polyamide cap ply for dependable handling and stability at high-speed.
El neumático Pilot Sport EV de Michelin pertenece a la categoría: Rendimiento Máximo Para Verano y fue desarrollado para conductores de vehículos con baterías eléctricas (BEV, por sus siglas en inglés), que buscan un neumático que se ajuste a esas características. El Pilot Sport EV fue fabricado para balancear tracción y longevidad, mientras mantiene confort, bajo ruido y capacidades de maniobrabilidad satisfactorias. Junto al rendimiento y la comodidad, el Sport EV está diseñado para ofrecer una tracción excelente en condiciones secas y húmedas.

El Pilot Sport EV utiliza un compuesto de caucho doble y es moldeado en una huella con patrón asimétrico para proporcionar características de rendimiento separadas pero en sincronía. La parte central de la huella posee el compuesto de caucho de alta rigidez "ElectricGrip™", el cual proporciona tracción máxima específicamente para transmisiones de los vehículos eléctricos. El compuesto de caucho de alta eficiencia "GreenPower™", se encuentra en la sección de los hombros y ha sido diseñado para reducir el consumo de energía y aumentar la distancia de conducción. El área óptima de contacto con la carretera del Pilot Sport EV, distribuye uniformemente las fuerzas de aceleración, frenado y al tomar curvas. La tecnología Acústica de Michelin® utiliza una espuma de poliuretano, para disminuir el ruido y permitir a conductores y pasajeros utilizar equipos de comunicación de manos libres, mientras disminuye la fatiga del conductor en viajes largos. Canales circunferenciales anchos y ranuras laterales evacuan agua eficientemente del área de contacto con la carretera y optimizan la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning).
La construcción interna del Pilot Sport EV cuenta con dos correas superiores "Greenbelt™" que ayudan a disminuir la resistencia al rodar. Una pared reforzada con poliéster y una capa con poliamida, proporcionan una maniobrabilidad confiable y estabilidad a velocidades elevadas.

...Rain traction is perfect and I feel they are the best tires I can put on the car to keep my family safe...
Great tires for the money. The wife put about 12-14,000 miles on them last year and they seem to be about half worn. Even wear amount all 4 tires and very little road noise compared to the OEM hankooks. Hoping to get this year out of them and will definitely purchase them again. The 10spd trans in the expo can get a little spirited and these handle the high torque very will. Rain traction is perfect and I feel they are the best tires I can put on the car to keep my family safe. Blizzaks in the winter, pilot pros in the summer. Winning combination for a 7,000lb tuned SUV.

These things grip like nobody's business. The ridgeline is nowhere near a performance vehicle but handles like its on rails now...
These things grip like nobody's business. The ridgeline is nowhere near a performance vehicle but it handles like its on rails now. I came from touring tires and likely wont go back since I only drive 10k miles per year. Braking is VASTLY improved which is welcome with CA "drivers"....

...Dry grip is super in both cornering and braking, and while we haven't driven them in heavy rain conditions yet, wet grip feels great as well. The tires track perfectly on the straights and run so smooth with a minimum of wheel weights (installed by our Audi dealer)...
What a great tire for the SQ5--seems to be a perfect match for the additional weight and higher center of gravity of a performance SUV. These replaced the OE Latitude Sports, and even with new-tire tread depth, the Pilot Sport 4 SUV has so much better steering response and cornering stability--they seem to provide this great feel and grip effortlessly, reflecting engineering and construction matched to SUV requirements. Dry grip is super in both cornering and braking, and while we haven't driven them in heavy rain conditions yet, wet grip feels great as well. The tires track perfectly on the straights and run so smooth with a minimum of wheel weights (installed by our Audi dealer).
I was almost ready to buy Pilot Sport 4S's but had some concerns about the height & weight of the SQ5, so was really happy to see this tire introduced at just the right time. The Pilot Sport 4 SUV really seems perfect on this vehicle--just the tire for the twisty mountain roads here in WNC and North GA!
