Review on MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 225/45 R17 91W summer by Adam Turczyk ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I do not advise buying this, it does not meet the stated standards.

When starting from a stop, the Michelin has a strong grip, but the Yokohama catches and stops more earlier and more easily under braking conditions. Regardless of how you typically drive, the Yokohama has a lot of power and is easy to understand in the corners. On a 55 profile, the rigidity is mild, which is acceptable, and in my opinion, optimal. Before I made my purchase in the store, someone informed me that Yokohama is a poor brand of tire that should be taken off the vehicle and thrown away. In point of fact, it was discovered that this Michelin tire, which has been described as being excessively soft and has poor braking performance, is also unstable when being driven in a ring on a 55 profile. The price is too excessive; 38 thousand dollars does not correspond to the market even for premium tires, and this is for four wheels. I spent the most money possible on the rubber, but it did not bring me any satisfaction. I was not startled by any of the technologies since I had not anticipated seeing them there. For the price of 6,000 dollars, you could get Pirelli skis, and after doing some research, I realize that they are the superior option. Any other brand of tire is going to perform better than Michelin. In conclusion, the Michelin "Pilot" tire does not provide any sense of excitement. Although "Pilot Sport" is a bold moniker, in actuality it is nothing more than a bunch of useless syllables. It rides like that, but with Yokohama tires I am secure in my safety and comfort, and I can always travel through the ring at speed with joy. This is how my Camry 7.1 got up to 100 kilometers per hour. If someone doubts - you may test. P.S. The essay is not produced to order, and I did not receive any payment for it. However, if you have any concerns or issues, feel free to email me, and I will do my best to respond.

Pros
  • This is a review of the overpriced and overhyped Michelin Pilot Sport4 tires that were fitted on a V55 Camry 3.5. It will be about whether or not it makes sense to put Michelin tires on a civilian car, as well as whether or not this rubber will increase the safety, handling, and comfort of your vehicle. In the past, I was unable to respond with complete assurance to this question. Before I begin the review, I want to preface it by stating that I am currently in a position to evaluate these tires since I am aware of the reasons why people purchase tires and how the driving behavior of a vehicle on the road can vary depending on the tires that are mounted on the vehicle even when the weather is the same. Along with knowledge comes expertise gained from driving a variety of high-powered sports vehicles and tires, including a Jaguar F Type 3.0 with 380 horsepower and Bridgestone tires, an Audi A7 3.0 with 340 horsepower and Bridgestone tires, and a Lexus RC 317 horsepower with Dunlop rear wheel drive. I thought that if I put on more expensive tires, I could improve handling and traction with asphalt a little without changing the factory wheel parameter, without even allowing the thought that it was possible make it worse. At the time, my personal Camry 3.5 car had worn-out Yokohama factory tires. I thought that if I put on more expensive tires, I could improve handling and traction with asphalt a little. I was watching a TV show when I suddenly became aware of the brand name Michelin "Pilot Sport 4". It appears as though my thinking was correct; I researched the list of vehicles on which it may be fitted, and I considered buying one. There are many people whose opinions I will not seek out. Now I have a better understanding of the car or tire that would be most suitable for you, but you won't really know what you think about it until you test it for yourself. The retailer pointed to several road tests as evidence that the product in question was the greatest tire available anywhere in the globe. They predicted that I would be happy, so there should be no question about it. I made the decision to test it out in the factory size 215/55/17, and the result was that I ended up writing a very critical review of it.
Cons
  • After having the tire for 5 months following the purchase, I put it through its paces in a variety of conditions ranging from +5 to +34. The tire has a very low noise level, but that is the only benefit it offers. I often enter twists and rings at speeds of sixty to seventy kilometers per hour (whistles loudly). In the seven years that Yokohama has owned Camrys, the company has never made such a sound. I owned three brand-new Carmis, each of which was equipped with brand-new Yokohama tires. One V50 with a 2.5-liter engine and two V55s with 3.5-liter engines were purchased. In addition, because the Michelin has a small side cord, the rubber plays quite strongly in the corners on the 55 profile. This is the case with all Michelin profiles. In comparison to how it was before, my vehicle became uncontrollable as soon as I engaged "Pilot Sport" in its transmission. I'm sure that a good number of people who read the post would argue that the Camry is already too accommodating. I completely and totally agree that the suspension is too soft; nonetheless, the handling has become an order of magnitude worse with Michelin tires than it was with the OEM Yokohama tires. This is a source of discomfort. In addition to the whistle, I also noticed that the directional stability indicator started blinking a great deal more frequently. When the body was about to leave a severe curve, it would begin to produce two or even three "pendulum" movements that were barely discernible.
