About This Tire

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV 285/45R20 is a summer performance tire designed for crossover and SUV drivers who prioritize high-grip handling and refined comfort in warm-weather driving. Its tread design and compound focus on maximizing wet and dry traction while maintaining low noise levels and smooth ride quality.

The tire features an asymmetric tread pattern with a summer-focused compound that combines functional elastomers and thin silica for enhanced grip. The outboard side emphasizes dry performance with high pattern stiffness and optimized notches for strong braking, while the inboard side includes wider circumferential grooves and straight water channels for wet traction.
