Review on MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 SUV 255/50 R20 109 year old by Stanislaw Mielicki ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The average product, you can find a better one.

Replaced regular Pirelli Zero Rosso 235/60/R18 on Volvo xc60 with Pilot Sport 4 marked VOL - designed for Volvo. Noise is much higher than stock. Very annoying, because. like on stickers Michelin 70dB, and Pirelli 71dB. . Starts somewhere around 40km/h and is felt at all speeds. I thought I would skate a little, it would become warmer and quieter, but alas, not yet. Drove 1000km, drove at +10 and +25, all waiting for them to subside. I changed the pressure from 2.4 to 2.7 (both are recommended by the manufacturer depending on the load) and there is not much difference. I chose according to reviews, I didn’t spare money - it seems like an excellent tire, it holds perfectly, but the noise level crosses everything out. Michelin, What else can be done and after how many kilometers should they subside? Maybe they sold me a sub? Made in Poland, 3 pieces DOT0821, 1 piece DOT 3819.

Pros
  • Excellent grip, sticks straight to the asphalt. Stylish design. If it wasn't for the noise level it would have been top!
Cons
  • The noise level is terrible. Before that, there were regular Pirelli P Zero Rosso 235/60/R18 (71dB) which I skated several sets in 10 years and they did not make such a noise. I chose according to reviews and took it specially marked VOL-certified for Volvo cars- (70dB on stickers). I don't know how Volvo agreed to certify with such noise?
