Review on MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 225/45 R18 95Y summer by Wiktor Wiater ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am happy with everything, the product matches the description.

235/45/17 (Since I skated two sets, I'll make a comparison to the Michelin Primacy 3) Just yesterday it was switched to Sport 4, yet new perspectives are always the clearest. The rubber is thicker and softer than average, the tread is higher than average, so better comfort is to be expected. My initial impression of rubber tires was one of lackluster control; nevertheless, the tread's increased density of interlocking blocks and obvious directional pattern—the likely cause of the sensation that the vehicle "when the steering wheel is released" travels in a dead straight line with nary a hint of a curve—makes for noticeably less isolation than I had anticipated. It's from this vantage point that I've noticed an intriguing nuance: the car's steering wheel seems heavier at zero than it did before, suggesting that the vehicle is actively seeking to maintain a straight line of movement even when turning. (more reliable data than the electric steering wheel's) Hydraulic boosting steering wheel. Unlike the basic 3, which seems to be stuck to the ground (or at least to blindly follow the wheel), the sporty 4 seems to be riding on rails and actually resists the steering. This is not an issue at all; it's really a matter of personal preference. I won't rule out the possibility that the case is in a suspended collapse until I've finished diagnosing and diagnosing the suspension.

Pros
  • Tires that are soft and silent are a must-have. Smooths out the ride over minor imperfections,
Cons
  • The steering wheel now feels heavier than it did before (I'll explain).
