The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV 225/60R18 is a summer tire, designed for crossover and SUV drivers who prioritize high-performance handling and enhanced comfort in warm weather conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on maximizing grip in both wet and dry conditions while maintaining low noise levels and ride comfort.
The tire features an asymmetric tread pattern with a summer-focused compound that utilizes functional elastomers and thin silica technology for improved traction. The inboard side includes wider circumferential grooves and deep straight channels for water evacuation, while the outboard side emphasizes high pattern stiffness and optimized notches for enhanced dry braking and lateral grip. Driver feedback points to exceptional wet and dry performance with strong comfort characteristics, though treadwear falls into the good rather than excellent category.
Compared to all-season SUV tires, it prioritizes maximum warm-weather performance over year-round versatility and cannot be used in freezing temperatures or winter conditions. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance-oriented crossovers and SUVs used primarily for spirited driving in warm, dry, and wet conditions.
