The P4 Fourseasons is Pirelli's signature tire, and this tire is dedicated to perform extremely well in any season. A blend of Silica Rich Tread was incorporated in this fine tire, to reduce rolling resistance but still maintain on any drive surface. The P4 is compatible on all types of automobiles, from coupes to minivans, SUV's, and even crossover vehicles. The P4 has a great high mileage warranty, matched with superior ride comfort, low noise, and Pirelli's signature traction.

Incorporated in 1888, founding brothers Édouard and André Michelin started the Michelin Rubber Factory in Paris, France. The small Rubber Company has now grown into the world largest tire manufacturer. The first MICHELIN® Radial tire was introduced in 1946, titled the X Tire. The design of the X Tire is now the standard design of current world passenger and light truck tires, with minor improvements added over the years. Michelin has grown steadily in size, and in 2007, the company employed 113,500 people in several countries around the world.

Founded in 1915 by William O'Neil and his partner, Winfred Fouse, General Tire and Rubber Company was an outgrowth of Western Tire & Rubber Company. At the time, General Tire entered a market with over 300 competitors, but was determined to get a market share of replacement tire sales. The first tire that General Tire mass-produced was the General Jumbo, a pneumatic truck tire that was first in its class of tire. In the mid-1920's, General invented the General Balloon Jumbos, the first tire to only need 12 pounds of air pressure revolutionizing all tire manufacturing concepts.

Pirelli is different from all other Tire Manufacturers because they use innovation and research to distinguish themselves, embracing new technology to create a value for the consumer. The goal of the Pirelli organization is to improve performance and minimize their carbon footprint while developing a quality product. "Power is nothing without control," is used by Pirelli to convey the company's attitude toward their product. Consistency and responsibility is the ethical code applied by all employees and supplies of Pirelli products.
