Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV ZP 235/50R18 97V Tire

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV ZP. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; Upgraded controllability; Run flat tire model; High speed performance; . OVERVIEW: The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV ZP is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire’s reinforced internal structure improves its performance. This structure manages to maintain the ideal tire shape under the vehicle’s weight in case of air pressure loss. In this manner, the tire can be driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph after air pressure leaves the tire, due to a puncture or other damage. This prevents the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road, enabling them to be driven to a nearby garage. Run flat tires cannot be mixed with regular tires on the same vehicle, due to their heavier internal structure.The model offers great controllability and driving durability. The asymmetric tread pattern maintains road contact at all times, which improves steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time is faster and more precise to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Excellent braking ability is provided with this tire. The special elements shorten the braking distance, by creating friction while stopping. These elements enable the driver’s full control over the vehicle and guarantee a safe driving experience.The asymmetric tread pattern and the summer compound improve the tire’s summer-weather traction. In this manner, the optimal tread pattern closely follows the road surface, in dry and wet conditions. On the other hand, the summer compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area in warmer temperatures. Hydroplaning is also avoided with this tread pattern. Circumferential grooves effectively eliminate water from the footprint in wet conditions.The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV ZP boosts its high speed performance. The strengthened internal structure maintains the optimal tire shape under the driving pressure affecting it, while the special silica compound resists heat accumulation on the tread area. This combination boosts the tire’s driving durability and handling power.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
