Designed for driving pleasure with excellent longevity and safety in both wet and dry conditions. Enhanced driving pleasure with precise handling performance*. *The MICHELIN Pilot Sport range is certified for use on more than 200 models Excellent road holding in curves and very precise steering. Recognized by top sports cars manufacturers. Shorter braking distance for greater safety* *Test conducted in 2009 by the independent TUV SUD Automotive test centre in tyre size 245/40 ZR 18 Y. 3 meters shorter wet braking distance compared to MICHELIN Pilot Sport PS2. Engineered to excel in wet conditions, with the ability to offer excellent grip in corners and brake shorter. Long lasting tread compound without compromising on fuel efficiency* *10% long lasting compared to MICHELIN Pilot Sport PS2 Combined performances in one tyre - thanks to the experience gained from more than 10 consecutive Le Mans 24 Hour victories. 1. Program distortion design (Precise Steering) Using the latest digital simulation software from aeronautic and automobile industries, the tyre profile is designed to maximize the road contact area while the tread compound is formulated to reach an optimized temperature. Driving precision is thus met whatever the speed. 2. Anti Surf System (Wet Grip and Handling) The "Anti Surf System" provides an optimum grip on wet surfaces. It optimises the tyre profile enabling it to cut through deep standing water, whereas other tyres may suffer from aquaplaning. This advantage is reinforced by the rubber compound made of a wet grip elastomer. 3. Sport Power Compound (Long lasting and Fuel efficiency) This rubber compound inherited from MICHELIN motorsport success history provides a remarkable tyre mileage thanks to a high resistance to wear.
