Michelin Pilot Sport EV 108Y XL Tire

Michelin Pilot Sport EV. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Fuel-efficient performance; High speed performance; . OVERVIEW: The Michelin Pilot Sport EV is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This tire is designed for electric vehicles.The model promotes excellent summer-weather traction. The asymmetric tread pattern closely follows the road surface in summer conditions. At the same time, the summer compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area in warmer temperatures. These elements increase the tire's traction in dry and wet conditions. Additionally, circumferential grooves actively prevent hydroplaning. They eliminate water from the footprint to prevent slipping on wet roads.The optimal tread pattern and the close road contact increase overall controllability. This tread design maintains surface contact at all times, boosting steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering response time becomes quicker and more precise to the driver's instructions, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Wide shoulder blocks firmly grip the surface with extra biting edges, for better cornering and maneuvering.The tire offers a fuel-efficient performance. This asymmetric tread design and the special silica compound reduce the rolling resistance. It presents the pressure that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to keep the tire in motion. Lowering the rolling resistance decreases fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in wet-weather conditions, these elements make this tire fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly.The Michelin Pilot Sport EV boosts the tire's high speed performance. The reinforced internal structure and the strong rubber compound maintain the optimal tire shape under the driving pressure affecting it. On the other hand, the strong rubber compound prevents heat accumulation along the tread area, during the high speed performance. These elements upgrade the tire's driving durability and handling.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
