The Pilot Sport 4S represents Michelin's pinnacle of street-legal ultra-high-performance summer tire technology, combining race-derived compound science with practical street durability and wet weather capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the MCH35860?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MCH35860 is the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in size 245\/35ZR19 (93Y) XL. It is an ultra-high-performance summer tire with Bi-Compound tread technology engineered for sports cars and performance sedans that demand maximum dry grip and responsive handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S a summer-only tire?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The MCH35860 Pilot Sport 4S is a summer tire and should not be used in near-freezing temperatures, on snow, or on ice. Summer tire compounds harden significantly below approximately 7 degrees Celsius (45 degrees Fahrenheit), reducing grip and increasing stopping distances. In cold or wintry climates, a dedicated winter or all-season tire set is required for safe use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat performance cars use 245\/35ZR19 tires?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 245\/35ZR19 size is a common front fitment on mid-engine and rear-wheel-drive performance cars including several BMW 3 Series M Sport and M340i configurations, Audi S4, Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxster variants, and other sport coupes and sedans. Always verify your vehicle's approved tire size on the door jamb placard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the (93Y) XL rating mean on the MCH35860?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe parentheses around 93Y indicate this is a ZR-rated construction with an XL extra-load structure. The 93 load index corresponds to a single-tire load capacity of 1,433 lbs, and Y indicates a speed rating above 186 mph under standard load conditions. The XL construction allows higher inflation pressures to support heavier loads while maintaining the performance characteristics of the tire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Bi-Compound technology improve performance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditional tires use a single rubber formulation across the entire tread. Michelin's Bi-Compound system applies a stiffer, stickier compound to the outer shoulder, which bears the highest loads during cornering, while using a silica-rich compound in the inner tread for wet braking. This allows the MCH35860 to optimize grip for both dry cornering and wet stopping simultaneously instead of compromising between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this price for one tire or a set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for a single tire. Most performance applications require matching tires on at least the same axle, and many owners replace all four tires together to maintain balanced handling characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the MCH35860 on a track day?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilot Sport 4S is one of the most capable street-legal summer tires available and is commonly used on track days by enthusiast drivers. It is not a dedicated race tire (DOT race), but it delivers very high levels of dry grip on circuit. Sustained track use will shorten tread life significantly faster than street-only use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UTQG rating on the MCH35860?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MCH35860 carries a UTQG rating of 300 AA A, indicating a treadwear grade of 300 (performance tire wear life), traction grade AA (highest available wet stopping rating), and temperature grade A (highest heat resistance rating).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave the MCH35860 mounted on a compatible 19-inch rim by a certified tire technician using a tire mounting machine. Low-profile performance tires require care during mounting to avoid bead or rim damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalance the assembly using a computerized wheel balancer. Road force balancing is recommended for ultra-low-profile tires to minimize residual vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall on the vehicle and torque lug nuts to the manufacturer's specification in a star pattern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet cold inflation pressure to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended value on the door jamb placard. Do not use the max pressure on the tire sidewall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerform a TPMS reset if required by your vehicle after installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow a brief break-in period of approximately 100 miles at moderate speeds before pushing the tire to its performance limits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Michelin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46043679916111,"sku":"MCH35860","price":321.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/7920\/files\/michelin-pilot-sport-4-s-24535zr19-93y-xl-michelin_a8a6a22b.png?v=1783979744","url":"https:\/\/www.blackopsautoworks.com\/products\/michelin-pilot-sport-4s-245-35zr19-93y-xl-mch35860","provider":"Black Ops Auto Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
