Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S UTQG 300 AA A
Compare and Rate Your Tyre on its Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature

300 AA A

•  300 Treadwear:
This grade represents the tyre's expected life/duration, ranging between 100 to 1000. Usually, the higher the treadwear rating, the longer the tyre life.

•  AA Traction:
This grade represents the tyre's capability to stop on wet asphalt and pavement. Ratings are expressed in letter form, with AA being the highest and C as the lowest.

•  A Temperature:
This grade represents the tyre's heat resistance ability, with A as the highest and C as the lowest. Heat build-up causes the rubber to break down faster, which can cause blowouts. The higher the temperature rating, the longer the tyre life and the higher the speed rating.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S is a Silent Tyre

Also known as low–noise or noise–reducing tyres, this tyre is designed to produce less noise than traditional tyres while driving.

Noise–canceling technologies include:

•  Advanced tread designs:
Optimizes air flow in the tyre grooves for a quiet ride.

•  Specialized rubber tread compounds:
Absorbs road vibrations for less noise.

•  Made with sound absorbing materials:
Special polyurethane foam layers inside the tyre reduce noise and absorb vibrations.

Michelin Run-Flat Tyre

A Run-flat tyre will allow you to keep driving safely even with a puncture.

There is no need for a spare tyre, and you can get to the nearest petrol station without changing your flat tyre at the side of the road.

Michelin's ZERO PRESSURE™ Run-flat technology allows you to drive up to 80 km after a puncture at a maximum speed of 80 km/h.

Each Michelin ZERO PRESSURE™ tyre features a self-supporting reinforced sidewall so the tyre won't collapse and slip off the rim.

The Pilot Sport 4 S is a Michelin ZERO PRESSURE™ tyre

Toyo Proxes Sport

Like the 4 S, the Proxes Sport is a sports tyre with a greater connection to the road due to its improved contact, grip & handling. However, the Michelin gets higher marks - based on customer reviews - across all performance standards including wet and dry grip, handling and tread wear.

Bridgestone Potenza S001

The Potenza S001 is a fave tyre for premium sports cars such as Ferrari, Aston Martin and Lexus and shares exceptional traction and braking performance with the Michelin. But again, the 4 S scores higher for all metrics, especially Wet Grip at 93% vs the Potenza's 74%.
