255/40R18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 – Performance Summer

Category: Summer – Supreme Performance

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 was built for control and reactivity. Its a supreme performance summer tire with Dynamic Response Technology that improves the feel and understanding of what is happening beneath you. With exceptional wet and dry grip the Pilot Sport 4 puts more power to the pavement with less rolling resistance than the Pilot Sport 3. It also has a 20,000 mile tread life warranty for all sizes.

Run flat design allows you to still drive a short distance despite having a puncture. Must be used with a compatible vehicle and TPMS.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 99 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 775 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
  • Speed Rating Y indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 300 km/h under proper load and inflation.
  • UTQG 320 AA A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
  • Summer tires are built for warm weather grip and should not be used as winter tires in Ontario or Quebec cold weather conditions.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
  • Run flat tires can temporarily support the vehicle after pressure loss, allowing you to keep control and drive a limited distance to service. Note that they require a compatible vehicle setup and a working TPMS system.
  • EV Compatible means the tire is marked as suitable for electric vehicles, where load, torque, rolling resistance, and noise can matter more.
  • Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
  • Warranty coverage is manufacturer backed and depends on normal use, proper maintenance, rotation, inflation, and alignment conditions.
