Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• High speed controllability
• Longer lasting tread life

OVERVIEW

The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (HZ) is a high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This specific tire is marked with HZ as it is a Bridgestone original equipment tire mount for racing vehicles. This model is EV compatible.

The tire offers exceptional all weather traction. The asymmetric tread design and the Silica+ compound work together to ensure the tire's secure dry, wet and winter weather high speed performing safety. The compound and the Helio+ technology improve the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, including cold winter situations. The tread's rounded shoulders and siping placement and the biting edges in the grooves increase the tire's grip on the road surface, even when driving on ice and snow. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, maintaining the surface contact and effectively preventing hydroplaning. The result is a safer year round driving experience.

The model uses the tread design as well to enhance the controllability. The asymmetric tread design and the Dynamic Response Technology manage to keep the tire's surface contact throughout the vehicle's performance. The better road contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability, and ensures the driver's improved control over the vehicle, even during its high speed performance. The tread's asymmetric pattern also helps shorten the braking distance by utilizing the high number of biting edges. The Total Performance technology combines the tread design, the compound durability and the structural strength to enable the tire's best high speed performing ability. They maintain the ideal tire shape under the pressure, prevent heat build-up and keep the surface grip to increase the high performance driving safety levels.

The Pilot Sport All Season 4 (HZ) lengthens its usability. The asymmetric ribbed tread design and the durable Silica+ compound enhance the tread life. The flat footprint and the optimal tread pattern enable the tire to equally spread the driving pressure out across the tread area. The evenly circulated forces of acceleration, cornering and braking effectively avoid irregular wear formations. The silica-enhanced compound, on the other hand, decreases the tread wear rate by using the stronger rubber materials, which slows the tread wear rate down. This combination greatly increases the model's tread and service life.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
