Review on MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 245/45 R18 100Y summer by Mateusz Jankowski ᠌
Nightmarish quality and complete inconsistency with the description.
The Michelin's grip from a standstill is good, but under braking the Yokohama catches and stops earlier and more comfortably. In corners, the Yokohama is punchy and understandable regardless of driving style. Rigidity is moderate, adequate, I would say ideal on a 55 profile. Before buying in the store, I was told that Yokohama is a terrible tire and needs to be removed and thrown into the trash. In fact, it turned out that this Michelin tire, which is too soft and slows badly, is also unstable when driving in a ring on a 55 profile. The price is very high - for 4 wheels 38 thousand does not correspond to the market even for premium tires. It was the most expensive rubber, and I did not get pleasure from it. None of the technologies surprised me, I simply did not see them there. For 6000. for one slope you could buy Pirelli and now I understand that they would be better. Any tire will be better than Michelin. Conclusion - there is no sport in the Michelin "Pilot" tire. The name is loud - "Pilot Sport", but in reality these are just empty words. How my Camry 7.1 drove up to 100 km. H. it rides like that, but with Yokohama tires I am confident in my safety and comfort, and I can always go through the ring at speed with pleasure. If anyone doubts - you can test. P. S the article is not custom-made, I did not receive money for it, and if you have any doubts and questions, you can ask, I will try to answer.
- Review of the unreasonably expensive and hyped Michelin Pilot Sport4 tires installed on a V55 Camry 3.5 car. It will be about whether it makes sense to put Michelin on a civilian car and will this rubber improve the safety, handling and comfort of your car? Previously, I could not confidently answer this question. Before the review, I want to say that at this point in time I am competent to evaluate these tires, as I have an understanding of why they are purchased and how the behavior of a car on the road with different tires under the same weather conditions can change. In addition to understanding, there is experience of driving different sports cars and tires: Jaguar F Type 3.0 380 hp with Bridgestone tires, Audi A7 3.0 - 340 hp Bridgestone, and Lexus RC 317 hp with Dunlop rear wheel drive. My personal Camry 3.5 car at that time was on 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 without changing the factory wheel parameter, without even allowing the thought that it was possible make it worse. In one TV show I heard the loud name Michelin "Pilot Sport 4". Sounds like I thought, studied the list of cars on which it is installed and thought about purchasing. Whom I will not ask opinions are different. Now I understand exactly the car or tire you personally should like and until you try it yourself, you will never know your opinion. The store claimed it was the best tire in the world, pointing to road tests. They said that I would be pleased, take no doubt. I decided to try it in factory size 215/55/17 and ended up writing a very negative review.
- 5 months have passed since the purchase, and I tested the tire in different modes ranging from +5 to +34. The tire is very quiet, that's where its advantages end. I often go into turns and rings at a speed of 60-70 km / h. - whistles loudly. Yokohama has never made such a whistle in 7 years of owning Camry cars. I had three new Carmis, of course with new Yokohama tires. One V50 with a 2.5 engine and two V55 cars with a 3.5 engine. Further, due to the fact that the Michelin has a thin side cord, the rubber plays very strongly in the corners on the 55 profile. As soon as I put "Pilot Sport" in the ring, my car turned into jelly compared to what it was. I know many who read the article will say that the Camry is already soft. I agree one hundred percent the suspension is soft, but with Michelin handling has become an order of magnitude worse than on the factory Yokohama. This brings discomfort. In addition to the whistle, I noticed that the directional stability began to blink much more often. The body, when exiting sharp turns, began to make two sometimes three barely noticeable “pendulum” movements.
