Review on MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 235/45 R17 97Y summer by Adam Wojtczuk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

215/45 R17, purchased in early February, as soon as it appeared on our sale. Based on feedback from one of the well-known UK sites (they have spring there much earlier), as well as a positive experience using PilotSport3. I put it in early April and immediately 1000 km trip, and on the street 0.+1. Noise at the same time wildly. In May it became warmer - the noise disappeared almost completely, showers began - it made it possible to drive on dry land. And most importantly - comfort! On the same car with 205/55 R16, there is practically no difference in smoothness, but the pleasure of cornering disappears. And for some reason there is no rutting either, remembering the Bridgestone 215 wide - there the steering wheel lived its own life. From April to the beginning of June, 8k has already passed, almost the entire track - I can strictly recommend rubber for active driving, in general, what it was created for. At first I was afraid of the low profile, at 215/45 the height of the rubber is 97mm, but I already caught good holes, and the corners of the curbs, the disks clucked - nothing to the rubber. ate after 2 years of use: the mileage was 35 tkm, with a heavy downpour it began to swim, I was completely satisfied with the rubber. For a change, I bought GoodYear Eagle F1 Assymetric3, did not like it, returned back to PS4. I am attaching a photo of wear (2 years, 35 tkm, spinning actively and quickly, 90% of the motorway)

Pros
  • - the track is not felt - does not squeal in corners and at the start - on the Ring Road full of water the track crosses twice - SOFT
Cons
  • Possible rapid wear, but for 8000 km has not yet revealed ate info: tires covered 10,000 km, front-wheel drive, car weight 1600 kg, most of the mileage - highways at a speed of 130 km / h, starts from traffic lights are fast. At the moment, the residual tread depth of the front tires is 6mm, the rear tires are 7mm. I didn’t measure with new ones, but presumably 7-8mm.
