What these grades mean in plain English

  • Treadwear 320: this is a moderate treadwear grade, near the middle of NHTSA-rated tires. Under UTQG a grade of 200 should wear twice as long as the grade-100 control tire on NHTSA's test course; real-world mileage varies with driving, rotation, alignment and climate.
  • Traction A: A: second-highest wet-braking grade. Traction is straight-ahead wet braking only; it does not measure cornering or hydroplaning.
  • Temperature A: A (highest): resisted heat build-up through the higher 575 rpm test stage.
  • Ranked just above in Michelin: Pilot Sport 3 (median 320).
  • Ranked just below in Michelin: Pilot Sport 5 (median 320).

FAQ

What is the treadwear rating of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4?

NHTSA's UTQG data lists treadwear grades from 300 to 320 (median 320) for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4, from 61 records. Treadwear is graded in multiples of 20 relative to a government control tire graded 100; it is not a mileage guarantee.

Is the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 treadwear grade high or low?

A grade of 320 is a moderate treadwear grade, near the middle of NHTSA-rated tires. Compared with every line in the NHTSA data, the median is higher than 26% of lines (dataset median 420). Within Michelin it ranks #40 of 57.

What is the cost per mile of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4?

We do not have a licensed price or warranty-mileage feed yet, so we do not state a cost per mile. Use the formula cost per 1,000 miles = price per set ÷ (expected miles ÷ 1,000) with your own quote and mileage expectation, or the calculator on this page.
