Technical information
Focus: Sport
With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Michelin PILOT SPORT 4 belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

What owners say
<p>I chose these tires because there is a specific version for my car (T0 code), and I replaced the dreadful factory-fitted ePrimacy tires. I was looking for a sporty tire with better grip, and I am thrilled with them. They offer predictable handling and excellent road grip in both dry and wet conditions. Driving is a real pleasure! They really shine on mountain roads; the car feels stable even when driving briskly, the steering is precise, and there is no loss of traction. They perform very well in the wet, too. The only downsides are the noise level—which isn't particularly low despite the internal sound-absorbing foam—and slightly higher fuel consumption, though that is certainly due to the high grip. I haven't driven on them a huge amount yet, but the rate of tread wear seems more than acceptable.</p>
<p>This is my second set on this car.
Same thing happened a second time.</p><p>Excessive wear on the inside.</p><p>Great performance on dry and wet but lack in comfort and noise.</p><p>I finally decided to opt for a less performance oriented tire which equates to more comfort and less noise and will last a lot longer.</p>
<p>Tire wear longer than expected</p>
<p>Good tyre overall, not much choice in my dimension 195/45 17, this is one of the best summer tyre choices for the Swift Sport MZ and FZ.
Very good wet grip, even in colder conditions. At 6° Celsius still confident in wet braking and wet handling. Dry grip is good but newer tyre compounds are better. After all the PS4 came out in 2016, so a newer compound like Conti PremiumContact 7 from 2022 or Hancook Ventus Evo K137 from 2025 will perform better. But only if you go to 205/45 17 dimension. In 195/45 17 you can't get the newer tyres.
The PS4 dry braking is 7.5/10 and dry handling is good, not the ultimate in feel, but very stable and high limits. Noise level medium. Relatively stiff side wall, not the best in comfort. Which is why I will go to a higher sidewall. 205/45 has 92,25mm height and now with 195/45 I have 87,75mm.
Wear after 10000 miles/16000 km is minimal, very good for how soft the compound feels.</p>
<p>This is the best tyre I´ve ever used, 7 track days and 2 regularity rallies plus daily use, this tyres is a shame that is not longer available, so good on wet, I even race at rain at the almost feel like I was driving on a Dry floor. Very good grip and I think they last very good for the use that I gave them.</p>
