MICHELIN today unveiled the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV for high performance, premium sports utility vehicles (SUV).

user posted imageuser posted image

There’s a new ultra high performance tyre for SUVs in town, and it’s the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV. Completing the Pilot Sport range in Malaysia, it is the French tyre maker’s first dedicated on-road offering for premium sports SUVs, touted to offer superior durability, braking and handling performance and ride comfort.

As with the rest of the new Pilot Sport lineup, the SUV variant sports an asymmetric tread pattern, but here this asymmetry also extends to the grooves. This results in tread blocks that more rigid and hence better suited to the increased vehicle weight, improving durability.

Equipped with a high-density double casing ply, the tyre is also more capable of shrugging off road shock damage, which can occur when going over potholes, for example. All in all, Michelin claims it can travel up to 13,000 km further than competing rollers, as it proved in a durability test last year.

Of course, the Pilot Sport 4 SUV has also been designed with performance in mind, and to that end the new compound incorporates functional elastomers and thin silica to improve wet weather handling and braking. There’s also a hybrid belt made of aramid and nylon, said to provide better steering response and precision.

Michelin says the Pilot Sport 4 SUV was placed first in a wet handling test conducted by TÜV SÜD, in which an SUV equipped with the tyre managed to lap a 1,050 metre track up to 5.06 seconds quicker than with its rivals. It also triumphed in a braking test, hauling the same SUV to a stop some 2.7 metres shorter than other tyres in the dry and up to 4.9 metres shorter in the wet. The advantage was extended when the tyres were worn, to a considerable 8.5 metres.

Externally, the tyre sports the velvet-like sidewall finish first introduced on the Pilot Sport Cup 2, along with a deeper black look for a sportier aesthetic. It has also been optimised to improve ride comfort and minimise road noise, according to Michelin.

The new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV is now available at all Tyreplus and authorised Michelin dealers nationwide, offered in 39 sizes that measure between 17 and 23 inches in diameter. It is priced from RM700.

HT is the quietest, least rolling resistance, lightest and offers most natural handling i guess?

AT can be quite loud and annoying for long distance cruising and the thick sidewall makes handling feels wobbly

btw, PS4 on par or above with other UHP like RE003/ad08r? what are other common UHP in malaysia hmm.gif

Well... on my set of PS4 already done roughly 25k km on my car with 340nm torque, mostly reckless miles, so far still have 50% thread left, maybe still can do 20k more from the looks of it. I expect that it can only do 30k for this kind of tyre, but well, it did better than my expectations.

yes, i know what you mean.
the surface area is bigger but usually raw material usually cost 30% of their manufacturing cost.

consider production cost vs production vol also..

smaler typre have bigger market they can produce high vol with same / 10-20% of extra overhead/raw
bigger tyre have smaller market they have to produce lower quantity with same amt of resources in factory..

Shipping also... 1 container says can fit in 1200 pcs of 14" tyre maybe can only fit 800 pcs of 19" tyre.

the bigger the tyre goes it will be more exp.. until it gets more and more popular then only we will see price dropped..

but the last point is: regardless where is it.. michelin comment also the same.. good tyre but expensive.. u can read their comment on their tyre review.. these are the common feedback..

good timing for Michelin to join in the SUV tyres segment. As we know here in Malaysia, the SUV sales are keep increasing by days (thanks to x70). Hopefully with more competitions, it will benefits the consumers as there will be plenty of choices hence will bring down the price. finger crossed.

HT is the quietest, least rolling resistance, lightest and offers most natural handling i guess?

AT can be quite loud and annoying for long distance cruising and the thick sidewall makes handling feels wobbly

btw, PS4 on par or above with other UHP like RE003/ad08r? what are other common UHP in malaysia  hmm.gif

PS 4 is better than RE003 lar..RE 003 actually benchmark with pilot sport series

anyway got better than ps series

can't do the math.

13" average 130
14" average 160
16" average 230
17" average 300

does the material cost alot for each inch increase?
u see 13 vs 17 just 4 inch diff. but cost more than double
*
Larger wheel size means heavier vehicles.
For heavier vehicles different materials need to use for wall strengthening

17 inch and 18 inch price jump is even more.

All in all, Michelin claims it can travel up to 13,000 km further than competing rollers, as it proved in a durability test last year.
