Review on MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 225/45 R17 91W summer by Micha Banasiewicz ᠌

The wear resistance has not yet been assessed. Over 8000 km with active steering, wear is minimal. Different pros: Excellent grip on dry pavement. So tenacious that on dry pavement, the GolfVI on a package of bad roads takes the wheels off the asphalt earlier than it skids. Resistance to aquaplaning is good - they do not float at 100 km / h and completely steer in ruts with 3-4 cm of water. Extremely quiet on smooth pavement. There is a pronounced protection of the side of the disk. On flat discs, they are balanced within 2 grams. Compared to Conti EcoContact, the steering wheel is noticeably heavier, steering sharpness increases, but with comfort on a dead road, in my opinion, they are even better. Cons: Very noticeably buzzing on the chipped asphalt. They make noise at temperatures below +7 degrees, although even at low temperatures they quickly warm up, and after 3 kilometers the noise disappears. They don’t like sand on the road very much - the grip turns from phenomenal to “ordinary” and it is very felt. Obviously, helpless on a wet dirt road. Judging by the numerous reviews, they are very sensitive to improper storage - if stored without packaging next to the battery, the next season they can turn into stone "eco-rubber". After them, it is very unusual to ride on spikes or eco-rubber - you quickly get used to a good hold.
