Michelin Rolls In The Pilot Sport 3 Tire

Intended for a wide variety of vehicle categories, the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 is suitable for sporty city cars, compacts and large, powerful sedans as well as small sports cars, such as roadsters and coupes, with the extra-large 18 to 19-inch range serving as optional equipment on non-sporting models.

In addition to this broad range of applications, the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 is designed to be a truly global tire. The tire is being introduced in early 2010 in replacement markets around the world – South America, Europe, Africa, the Pacific and Asia – and will be launched in North America one year later. Importantly, the new MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 has already been certified by several car manufacturers even though dealer sales are only just starting. Some carmakers have approved the tire for use on their signature sports car models, such as the new Audi A5 and the new Mercedes E 63 AMG. This promising start attests to the all-round excellence of the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3.

Michelin’s latest car tire is a good illustration of the Group’s strategy, which is never to sacrifice one performance feature for another. This means improving performance in several different areas simultaneously, a prerequisite to making any real progress. To achieve this balance, the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 has been built with unique, highly advanced technologies, such as the Green Power Compound, the Anti Surf System and Programmed Distortion tire architecture, all developed at Michelin’s own Technology Center.
