Oneshift's Automotive Holiday Gift Guide

Tyres may not be the most glamourous present to give and probably does not even cross your mind to be given as a gift, but a person who knows his tyres will be more than grateful to receive a set of these ultra-high performance Michelin PilotSport3 rubbers.

The PS3 has been proven to last longer and also give better overall mileage due to less raw materials used in its manufacturing; so less tyres are produced for the same distance and less end-of-life tyres are to be disposed of. The Programme Distortion technology within it helps it to maintain an optimal temperature under all circumstances, providing a level of flexibility required for good traction and more precise steering.

The PS3 also has this Sport Power Compound, which is a unique rubber formula designed to give maximum grip on wet roads, extend tread life and at the same time reduce fuel consumption too. Enhancing its safety factor is the Anti Surf System that Michelin placed in the PS3. It gives the tyre a rounded shoulder (in contrast to the square profile of a typical tyre) and so it evacuates larger volumes of water and reduces the risk of aquaplaning.

This ultra-high performance tyre is available from 15-inch upwards, hence it is not restricted to premium car brands or sport car models only.
