Michelin Pilot Sport

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Summer weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• High speed durability

OVERVIEW

The Michelin Pilot Sport is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

The model provides great controllability and stability. The directional tread pattern firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges. It boosts the tire’s contact with the driving surface and improves steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time is quicker and more accurate to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. At the same time, the rounded shoulders and the special elements on the tread area enable the tire to have excellent cornering and maneuvering. This tread design and its constant road contact shorten the braking distance by creating friction. This guarantees the driver full control over the vehicle and a safe driving experience.

Excellent summer-weather traction is offered with this tread pattern and the summer compound. The ideal tread design maintains road contact in dry and wet conditions, while the summer compound resists heat accumulation in hot temperatures. As a result, these elements significantly increase the tire’s performance in warm summer conditions. On the other hand, the optimal grooves eliminate water from the footprint, in order to resist hydroplaning. These elements promote a safe driving experience.

The Michelin Pilot Sport boosts its high speed durability. The strengthened internal structure maintains the optimal tire shape under the driving pressure affecting it, while the special silica compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area. Also, the directional tread pattern keeps constant road contact. This combination enables the tire to safely perform at high speeds.
