The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S DT1 is a summer tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 3 sizes (3 registrations including load and speed variants), for 18″ to 19″ rims.
Wet grip is rated A–B depending on size, fuel efficiency D and external rolling noise 71 dB.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 235/35 ZR19 (Wet grip A · Fuel efficiency D · 71 dB), the weakest 235/40 ZR18 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency D · 71 dB).
On the EU market since November 2018; the earliest production week registered is 21/2018.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other summer tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (3 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Strongest point: wet grip. Weakest point: fuel efficiency, where most same-size rivals do as well or better.
What the label means on the road (235/35ZR19)
Example: the 235/35ZR19 size, compared with the 441 other summer tyres registered in this size.
Wet braking from 80 km/h
≈34 m with class A, against ≈37 m for the most common class in this size (B).
Fuel efficiency
Class D, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.
Rolling noise
71 dB against a median of 72 dB in this size (1 dB quieter).
Estimates from the class ranges in Regulation (EU) 2020/740. A label class is a range, so a real tyre can sit anywhere inside it. Every 3 dB doubles the sound energy.
All 3 sizes
The small figure under each class is the share of same-size, same-season tyres this size matches or beats (“–” when fewer than five tyres share the size).
