The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV – 225/55R19 (99V) is a Street/Sport Truck Summer tire crafted for powerful, performance-oriented crossovers and SUVs. Designed to deliver exceptional grip in warm, wet, and dry conditions, it also provides enhanced comfort and reduced road noise. The tire features a summer-specific tread compound with functional elastomers and fine silica, molded into an asymmetric pattern for optimal handling and braking. Its stiff tread blocks and rigid construction improve lateral grip, while deep grooves and an increased pitch count on the inboard side enhance wet traction and hydroplaning resistance. Internally, the tire is built with a high-density polyester casing and two wide steel belts, reinforced with an aramid and nylon hybrid ply for precise handling and high-speed stability. It is not suitable for use in near-freezing temperatures, snow, or icy conditions. Cold weather exposure below -7°C (20°F) requires the tire to be gradually warmed to at least 5°C (40°F) over 24 hours before use, to avoid irreversible compound cracking, which is not covered under warranty.
