Designed for improved wet and dry grip, braking distance, and lateral handling, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires debut in North America on the 2018 Mustang GT equipped with the optional Performance Package.
We took everything we learned at the track… — Gary Swingle, Michelin
“We took everything we learned at the track, including feedback from professional drivers, to create a tire custom-tuned for Mustang GT,” Gary Swingle, Michelin tire engineer, explained.
Uniquely designed to put down the power of a car like the latest Mustang, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S features an “ultra-reactive” tread pattern, which includes a hybrid elastomer outer rib designed for improved dry grip and an elastomer and silca blend in the middle and inner ribs for better wet traction.
The tires in question are Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S summer tires specifically engineered for the latest Mustang. They measure 255/40-19 in front and 275/40-19 in back and feature a unique tread pattern and compound designed for maximum wet and dry grip.
It might seem a little counterintuitive, but the Performance Pack cars with these special summer tires will hit dealer lots this fall. For more on the 2018 Mustang, you can check out the car’s official site here.
