Pilot Sport 4 TYRE REVIEW

Hugely better. The Bridgestones (245/40ZR18 and 285/35ZR19) had been on the car since August 2012 and although they were tread-legal they were also hard as iron - an extremely firm ride! Interestingly the Bridgestones had been purchased and fitted in Spain at a cost of €1 297 (£1 128); The vastly superior Michelin Pilot Sport - nine years on - were £717.

The grip in both wet and the dry are excellent

Overall grip is much improved and wet grip is astonishingly better than my previous Pirelli P7 tyres. Obviously this is to be expected as the PS4 is more of a performance tyre and the P7 an efficient tyre. MPG has taken a small hit but the extra performance is worth it.

They are the best tyres on the market for a Cooper s

Feel a very good positive difference. Fitted to front wheels with improved traction and quieter too. Also feel more solid over rough pot holed roads.

Great tyres plenty of grip and confidence inspiring under wet conditions What’s not to like about Michelin tyres
