P255/45R20 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV – Performance Summer
Category: Truck/SUV Summer – Sport
The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV is a sport truck and SUV summer tire developed for enhanced comfort and low noise while being designed to deliver outstanding grip in wet and dry conditions. The tread compound utilizes a rigid design providing strong lateral grip and the optimized notches enhance dry braking performance. The inner side of the Pilot Sport 4 SUV asymmetric tread pattern features a wider circumferential groove and greater pitch count for enhanced wet traction. It also has a 20,000 mile tread life warranty for all sizes.
XL (Extra Load) — built to handle higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load tire of the same size.
What these tire specs mean
- Load index 105 means each tire can carry up to 925 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
- Speed rating W is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 270 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
- Summer tires are built for maximum warm-weather grip — dry and wet roads where compound stickiness and tread design matter most. They harden in near-freezing temperatures and are not suitable for Ontario or Quebec winter driving.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires run at higher inflation pressures and handle more weight than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your vehicle’s factory spec calls for XL, that’s what you need — swapping to standard load can affect ride, handling, and safety.
- Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
- Warranty coverage is backed by the manufacturer and applies under normal use — regular rotations, correct inflation, and proper alignment. Keep maintenance records if you ever need to make a claim.
