Michelin 265/40 R22 106Y Pilot Sport 4S Xl
Avantages et inconvénients
par nos spécialistes
Le Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S est un pneu été haut de gamme souvent considéré comme une référence dans le segment UHP. Les conducteurs et les tests mettent en avant son très fort niveau de grip, sa excellente stabilité à haute vitesse et une direction précise offrant beaucoup de ressenti. En parallèle, il propose un confort étonnamment bon et un niveau sonore plus faible que de nombreux pneus sportifs concurrents, avec également de très bonnes performances sur sol mouillé et une évacuation efficace de l’eau. De nombreux utilisateurs indiquent que l’usure reste raisonnablement lente pour ce niveau de performance, ce qui le rend adapté à un usage quotidien comme à des sorties occasionnelles sur circuit ou en montagne. Son principal inconvénient reste un prix relativement élevé ; dans les comparatifs, c’est souvent l’une des options les plus chères. Certains testeurs notent aussi une réponse au braquage un peu moins tranchante que sur l’ancien Pilot Super Sport, compromis assumé au profit du confort. Pour les acheteurs qui recherchent avant tout des performances maximales, une grande sécurité sous la pluie et un bon confort, c’est l’un des choix les plus convaincants.

Experienced Aquaplaning at approx 120 kmh on Belgian highway, had approx 4mm thread. Other than this, the tires wear out very quickly. Front wheels are down to 1-2mm after 18000 km. Front wheels wear out strangely on the outside, can probably blame the car model rather than tire for this... Rear wheels still have 3mm left and even wear. Switched to Hankook to see if I experience any difference.

Very good performance on dry roads, very good performance on wet roads, very low aquaplaning on the race track, very high performance

Before that I used Continental tires. I had to replace the Conti's every two years due to my driving style. I learned from forums that the wear and tear at Michelin is significantly better. So I chose the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. So far I can't say anything to the contrary, but I've only been using the tires for 6 months. However, what I immediately noticed was the increased fuel consumption, the louder road noise and the lack of grip on wet roads. The Continental tires (Premium Contact 6) did significantly better. On dry roads, on the other hand, Michelin tires have an advantage. Also for road holding feels better and safer. If the tire actually lasts a year longer, that outweighs the disadvantages of the Michelin. Until then, the Michelin mmn will remain behind the Contis.

I decided on this model, because when I bought them, the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 were very expensive, almost three times as much, at Michelin they went crazy. Since they were so expensive, they probably didn't sell a Pilot Sport Cup 2, and now they have dropped them quite a bit in price again. Comparing the Sport 4S with the Sport Cup 2, the 4S go very well in the dry, but they do not reach the level of the Cup 2, neither in grip, nor in line, nor in braking. But the 4S are very good tires and if your driving is normal, giving the car some joy from time to time, the 4S are going to be great for you. But if you are looking for a higher level, without a doubt I opt for Cup 2. To keep in mind, if you usually drive in areas where it rains a lot, the 4S are better in the wet than the Cup 2, despite the fact that the latter do not defend themselves bad in the wet.
